TRT, PEDs, Advanced Fat Loss and the Line Between Health and Performance with Aaron Straker | Ep 677

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

In this episode, I catch up with IFBB Pro and coach Aaron Straker to talk about TRT, PEDs, Advanced Fat Loss and the Line Between Health and Performance

We dig into what it was like to prep while on TRT, how his training evolved through different phases, the signs his body was fighting the bulk, and how he kept performance high all the way to the stage. Aaron also shares his current goals, including a fertility-focused phase and how he’s using low-volume training to maintain muscle without digging a recovery hole.

If you’ve ever been curious about what it really looks like to build muscle on TRT, maintain performance during a cut, or how to train smart in a high-stress season of life, this episode is a must listen.

Let’s talk about:

• Introduction
