Ep. #797: Says You! Don’t Comment on Drugs You Haven’t Used

I’ve written and recorded a lot of evidence-based content over the years on just about everything you can imagine related to building muscle, losing fat, and getting healthy.

I’ve also worked with thousands of men and women of all ages and circumstances and helped them get into the best shape of their lives.

That doesn’t mean you should blindly swallow everything I say, though, because let’s face it—nobody is always right about everything. And especially in fields like diet and exercise, which are constantly evolving thanks to the efforts of honest and hardworking researchers and thought leaders.

This is why I’m always happy to hear from people who disagree with me, especially when they have good arguments and evidence to back up their assertions.

Sometimes I can’t get on board with their positions, but sometimes I end up learning something, and either way, I always appreciate the discussion.

That gave me the idea for this series of podcast episodes: publicly addressing things people disagree with me on and sharing my perspective.

Think of it like a spicier version of a Q&A.

So, here’s what I’m doing:

Every couple of weeks, I’m asking my Instagram followers what they disagree with me on, and then picking the more common or interesting contentions to address here on the podcast.

And in this episode, I’ll be tackling the following . . .

• You haven’t used steroids so anything you say about them is invalid, probably wrong, and you’re not qualified to talk about them.

Timestamps:

3:14 - You haven't used winstrol, testosterone, ecdysterone, trenbolone, SARMS, or other drugs, so you can't comment on them.

4:45 - Why do some people use steroids?

6:41 - How big of an effect do steroids have?

8:40 - Does the risk to reward ratio make sense for everyday gym-goers?

10:08 - What are the risks of steroids?

11:09 - Do you have to try a drug to be qualified to advise against it?
