Episode 56: Going Big on PEDs and Never Going Back
Episode 56: Going Big on PEDs and Never Going Back
In this episode of J3 University, Luke and I discuss the high ends of PED usage. The question came up if you once used high levels of PEDs, can you lower the dose and still get an effect? We look into the client assessment to determine if its possible with a potential client and when this applies and does not apply. Also, how to scale PEDs up and down based on the assessment. Its a must listen for practical application to PED coaching!!
