  • Lowest Dose TREN to get Big, Get Lean First For EASY Gains, Maintain Size & Strength After A Cycle
    Apr 30 2026

    In this Anabolic Q&A, Big Paul breaks down the real-world bodybuilding questions serious lifters keep asking: insulin and fat gain, carb cycling, getting lean before a growth phase, keeping muscle after a cycle, post-diet rebounds, TRT phases, and how to structure training and nutrition for long-term physique progress.

    We dig into whether insulin actually “stores fat,” why dietary fat and carbs behave differently in a surplus, and how carb cycling can help manage glycogen, fat loss, and performance. Big Paul also covers the “melanotan face” debate, whether melanotan actually makes you look older, and why sun exposure, skin spots, and lifestyle factors may be part of the conversation.

    You’ll also hear why getting lean first can make muscle gain more efficient, how insulin sensitivity, nutrient partitioning, inflammation, hormones, and anabolic signaling change at higher body fat levels, and why starting a bulk too fat can make your next cut miserable.

    Other topics include maintaining size and strength after a cycle, why coming completely off can make gains harder to keep, how food, training intensity, TRT phases, and consistency matter, plus thoughts on if-it-fits-your-macros, whole foods vs protein bars, post-cut rebound growth, bulking without Deca or NPP, and the mindset needed to keep progressing.

    If you’re a bodybuilder, enhanced lifter, coach, or serious gym bro trying to understand muscle gain, fat loss, anabolic bodybuilding, nutrition, hormones, carb cycling, TRT, insulin sensitivity, and offseason growth, this Q&A is packed with practical bodybuilding insight.

  • Primobolan to Control E2? Pharma vs UGL Anavar, 2-Year Bulks? Heavy Weight vs Strict Form For Size
    Apr 28 2026
    In this Anabolic Q&A, Big Paul breaks down practical bodybuilding, performance enhancement, nutrition, cardio, blood work, and health management questions from the Anabolic Bodybuilding members community. This episode covers how to keep offseason cardio in without killing muscle growth, why long 1–2 year bulks usually backfire, whether niacin is worth using for HDL, and how to think about GLP-1s after major weight loss. Paul also digs into telmisartan for blood pressure management, long-term heart risks from steroid and HGH use, and the importance of monitoring blood pressure, lipids, kidney health, EKGs, and echocardiograms if you’re enhanced. You’ll also hear his take on lifting heavy vs. lifting with better execution for hypertrophy, pharmaceutical Anavar vs. UGL Anavar, how training, creatine, hydration, food, and fasting can affect blood work, using Primo instead of an AI to manage estrogen, old-school high-stim pre-workout stacks, and how much protein bodybuilders actually need. Topics covered include: • Offseason cardio for conditioning and heart health • HIIT vs. low-intensity steady-state cardio • Why extended bulks may reduce progress • Niacin, HDL, liver stress, and lipid management • GLP-1 maintenance dosing and appetite issues • Telmisartan, blood pressure, potassium, and kidney protection • Cardiomyopathy risks from gear and HGH • Training form, mechanical tension, and injury prevention • Pharma vs. UGL Anavar quality concerns • How to prepare for accurate blood work • Primo, estrogen control, and cruising • High-stim pre-workout stacks • Protein intake for enhanced and older bodybuilders 📧 For exclusive inside Information and free articles, join my mailing list: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/email-list Subscribe to my Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCjQmfhe1yyDsRjCVedA5IBA 📘 The Science of Anabolics E-Course: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/the-science-of-anabolics-performance-enhancing-drugs 🗺️ Get The Ultimate Cycle Cheat Sheet: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/cheatsheet 💪 Team ANABOLIC BODYBUILDING: https://www.skool.com/teamanabolicbodybuilding 💪 For Coaching or Consultations, go to: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ 📧 Contact BigPaul at: https://zl3h1q0lbmt.typeform.com/to/vqzGP4mG SOCIAL MEDIA 🤘 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulkbarnett/ 🔈 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PKOCKSDh6ZeaLmVoHF60z 🆇 Formerly Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulb3rd 🤮 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialanabolicbodybuilding/ 🎬 RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/AnabolicBodybuilding 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anabolic-bodybuilding/ 📘 E-Books: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ebooks 💪 FREE Training Programs: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/free_stuff 🧪 For Blood Panels: www.UltaLabTests.com/bigpaulmedia 📘 E-Books: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ebooks 💪 FREE Training Programs: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/free_stuff 00:00 - Intro 01:27 - Coaching & Consults Spots Are Available! 02:10 - Is There A Type Of Cannabis That Doesn’t Trigger The Munchies? 05:08 - Best Year-Round Cardio That Doesn’t Interfere With Fat Loss 08:22 - Doing A 2 Year Bulk Vs The Normal Bulking & Cutting Phases 13:37 - Is Niacin Worth Using? 18:21 - Should You Stay On Low Dose GLPs To Maintain Your Weight After Losing 40+ Lbs? 21:52 - Benefits Of Taking Telmisartan Preventatively? 25:36 - Are There Long-Term Risks Of Cardiomyopathy From Gear Use? 33:04 - How To Find A Balance Between Weight & Exercise Form 39:04 - Pharmaceutical Grade Vs.

    Big Paul is back with another live anabolic Q&A, covering bodybuilding, contest prep, TRT, bloodwork, diet structure, GLP-1 use, and real-world coaching advice for lifters trying to make smarter progress.

    In this episode, Paul talks about getting fully back on track after shoulder surgery, locking back into a structured diet with Justin Harris, and realizing just how much protein intake was being underestimated. He also breaks down current bodyweight changes, macros, meal frequency, GLP-1 appetite suppression, and how all of that can affect growth, recovery, and contest prep.

  • Everyone Got This Carb Study Wrong
    Apr 17 2026

    Carbs and muscle growth: Does this new meta-analysis really prove carbohydrates don’t matter for hypertrophy? In this video, Big Paul breaks down the study on carbohydrate intake and muscle hypertrophy, explains what the research actually says, and calls out the flaws that make the conclusions far less useful for serious bodybuilders.

    This is a deep dive into the carbohydrate vs low-carb debate, ketogenic diets for bodybuilding, muscle glycogen, training volume, calorie intake, and why study design matters when you’re trying to apply research to real-world hypertrophy training. Big Paul goes through the abstract, the methodology, the subjects used, the measurement tools, and the biggest issue of all: whether these studies have any real relevance to enhanced bodybuilders, off-season growth phases, carb cycling, or high-volume hypertrophy training.

    You’ll hear why he disagrees with the popular take that “carbs don’t build muscle,” why isocaloric studies can miss the bigger picture, and why anecdotal evidence from elite bodybuilding may still matter when the research is limited. This is a must-watch if you follow muscle science, bodybuilding nutrition, contest prep, keto vs high carb diets, or want a more honest look at how to interpret fitness studies.

    Read the full meta-analysis here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13018098/

  • Gear Doses To Get Shredded? How To Lose Stubborn Fat, What Influences IGF-1 Levels? Best Cardio?
    Apr 17 2026

    In this anabolic bodybuilding Q&A, Big Paul answers real questions from the community on fat loss, TRT, blood pressure on cycle, insulin sensitivity, HGH/IGF-1, cardio for cutting, and where bodybuilding may be heading in the next 5 to 10 years.

    This episode covers stubborn belly and chest fat, how bodybuilders think about managing blood pressure while using performance-enhancing compounds, whether hCG makes sense alongside testosterone, how to approach testosterone and anabolic dosing during a cut, and why insulin resistance can wreck a bulk. Big Paul also breaks down thoughts on IGF-1 LR3 for lagging body parts, metformin timing, cardio choices for fat loss, using high-carb days during a diet, and how IGF-1 levels may influence HGH dosing.

    If you are into bodybuilding, TRT, contest prep, fat loss, muscle gain, performance enhancement, hormone optimization, and advanced physique development, this Q&A is packed with practical discussion and real-world perspective.

    Topics discussed include: • Fat Loss For Lower Belly And Chest • Blood Pressure On Cycle • Best Blood Pressure Meds For Bodybuilders • Testosterone And Anabolic Dosing During A Cut • TRT And hCG • Insulin Resistance During A Bulk • Lantus, Metformin, And Glucose Control • HGH And IGF-1 • Cardio For Cutting • GLP-1s And Appetite Control • Bodybuilding Trends And The Future Of Performance Enhancement

    Big Paul is back with another live anabolic Q&A covering estrogen management, GH, insulin, NPP vs Deca, thyroid concerns, prep strategy, injury recovery, peak week decisions, and the reality of building muscle while staying lean.
