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. 📧 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 01:28 - Big Paul Has A Few Coaching & Mentorship Spots Available! 02:32 - Is It True That Insulin Doesn’t Store Fat, Only Glycogen? 13:11 - Can Melanotan Make You Look Older? 15:52 - Can Daily SubQ Tren Ace Keep Serum Levels More Stable? 18:03 - Why Is It Easier To Gain Muscle After Getting Lean First? 26:48 - How To Structure A Bulk Without Using Nandrolone 28:46 - Is It Normal To Gain 10 lbs In The First Week Of A Blast? 30:34 - What’s The Best Dose Of Tren Ace To Run In An Offseason 34:07 - After A Cut, Should You Reverse Diet Or Do A Rebound? 36:42 - Thoughts On IIFYM 40:21 - Has Paul Seen People Feel Better When Coming Off Gear? 42:53 - How Would Big Paul Coach His 21-Year-Old Self? 46:36 - How To Maintain Strength & Size After A Cycle 49:28 - Wrapping Up! #Bodybuilding #AnabolicBodybuilding #MuscleGain #FatLoss #TRT #CarbCycling #InsulinSensitivity #BodybuildingNutrition #EnhancedBodybuilding #HormoneOptimization #PerformanceEnhancement #GymBros #BodybuildingQandA #BigPaul #OffseasonBodybuilding WARNING ======== The Video has been made available for entertainment and educational purposes only.

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. 📧 For exclusive inside Information, join The Anabolic Mail List: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/email-list 💪TEAM ANABOLIC BODYBUILDING - Members Only Community: https://www.skool.com/teamanabolicbodybuilding/about 🎓THE SCIENCE OF ANABOLICS E-COURSE - Free Preview https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/the-science-of-anabolics-performance-enhancing-drugs 🗺️ Get The Ultimate Cycle Cheat Sheet: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/cheatsheet FOLLOW: 🤘 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulkbarnett/ 🔈 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PKOCKSDh6ZeaLmVoHF60z 🆇 Formerly Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulb3rd 0:00:00 - Intro 0:01:17 - Big Paul Is Back On A Bodybuilding Diet! 0:02:40 - Paul Was Underrating Protein While On GLPs 0:03:20 - Updates On Paul’s Latest Blood Work 0:04:56 - How Often Should You Cut & Bulk In A Year? 0:09:12 - Thoughts On Switching Primo For EQ 0:11:28 - Thoughts On HGH Only Cycle 0:12:40 - How’s Big Paul As A Coach? 0:14:24 - Workouts Influence Blood Work Results 0:15:27 - How Often Should You Take A Break While Cutting? 0:18:42 - Most People Don’t Know How To Lift 0:20:51 - Can High SHBG Cause Low T Symptoms? 0:22:13 - What Can Cause Low Ferritin 0:25:32 - Rapid Fat Gain After A Cut Is A Diet Issue 0:27:12 - Thought On Women Taking Anavar 0:27:45 - Thoughts On NPP During Contest Prep 0:28:34 - Do You Need To Increase Doses During A Rebound? 0:29:18 - Thoughts On Injectable Pre-Workout 0:30:07 - How Big Paul Approaches A High Carb Day 0:30:57 - Causes Of Insomnia After Starting A Cycle 0:33:08 - How To Introduce HGH As A Type 2 Diabetic 0:34:31 - Can You Measure How Hard You Train With ALT & AST Levels? 0:34:56 - Thoughts On Test Prop, Mast Prop & Tren Ace Blends 0:36:29 - Can Telmisartan Lower HCT? 0:37:19 - Paul Has Seen People Using GLP-3 Have Low B12 & Folate 0:37:52 - GLPs Are Not Great For Putting On Size If You’re Healthy 0:38:30 - Will Mast Lower E2? + Can Finasteride Hinder Hypertrophy? 0:39:16 - Can Jayden Daniel’s Get The Commanders To The Super Bowl? 0:40:45 - Which Is The GLP Least Likely To Blunt Hypertrophy? 0:41:51 - Favorite Physique Not In Bodybuilding 0:43:39 - Can Your Career Affect Your Diet? 0:44:52 - Thoughts On Jayden Daniel’s 0:46:42 - Thoughts On LeBron James 0:48:14 - Can The Peptide Industry Be Forced To Go Underground? 0:51:43 - How To Raise Ferritin 0:52:49 - Can GLP-3 Cause Insomnia? 0:53:37 - Test Dose Where TRT End & Performance Enhancing Start 0:54:01 - Can High E2 Prevent Fat Loss? 0:56:13 - Are Roid Test Kits Accurate? 0:57:10 - PEDs & Diet For Jujutsu 0:58:57 - Do You Need To Be Weary Of Combining Carbs & HGH? 1:00:15 - Should You Lower High Days When Dropping To TRT? 1:01:36 - Peak Doses For A First Cycle 1:02:06 - Thoughts On Liquid Egg Whites As A Protein Source 1:04:15 - What’s Big Paul’s Training  1:05:59 - Thoughts On Ending A Bulk With Tren 1:06:16 - Thoughts On SubQ Injections 1:06:43 - Paul’s Current Diet & PED Protocol 1:09:04 - Do Pasteurized Egg Whites Fully Digest? 1:09:55 - Thoughts On Proviron & Halo 1:10:49 - How Many Carbs Should A Natty Eat? 1:11:59 - Minimum Effective Dose Of Winstrol 1:12:38 - Paul’s Experience With Proviron 1:13:32 - Does Big Paul Have Open Slots For Consults? 1:14:38 - Can T3 Change Body Odor? 1:15:40 - Does Paul Drop Calories & Gear After Ending A Bulk? 1:16:00 - Wrapping Up!

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/ Topics covered include: carbohydrates and muscle hypertrophy, low carb vs high carb for bodybuilding, ketogenic diet for muscle growth, glycogen and muscle fullness, training volume and hypertrophy, insulin and bodybuilding nutrition, carb cycling, contest prep, off-season mass gaining, meta-analysis breakdown, and how to read fitness studies critically. Watch before you let an Instagram headline convince you that carbs don’t matter. 📧 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 #bodybuilding #musclescience #hypertrophy #carbs #ketodiet #fitnessresearch #contestprep #nutrition #musclegrowth #metaanalysis WARNING ======== The Video has been made available for entertainment and educational purposes only.

Ready to go from “holiday fluffy” to shredded for summer? In this video, Big Paul breaks down exactly how fat loss works (no BS), what actually matters for getting lean, and how to do it without losing muscle or wrecking your metabolism. You’ll learn the real “3 levers” for fat loss: ✅ Eat less (diet strategy first) ✅ Do more cardio (smart, not savage) ✅ Use fat burners strategically (including GLP-1s, stimulants, etc.) Plus, why macros are better than calorie counting for body composition, how carb cycling can help you stay strong and full while leaning out, and what to realistically expect with weekly fat loss (spoiler: 1–2 lbs/week is the sweet spot for keeping muscle).

Welcome back to another Anabolic Q&A—where we break down real questions from lifters about bodybuilding progress, staying healthy, managing side effects, and making smarter decisions instead of doing the “stupid stuff” that wrecks bloodwork, performance, and long-term results. In this episode, Big Paul covers the topics people actually argue about in the gym and online: berberine vs metformin, the truth about 19-nors and prolactin, when Primobolan starts to “shine,” how to think about estrogen management, what happens when you go off the rails during a rebound, water retention + sodium/potassium balance, and more.00:00 - Intro 01:30 - Berberine Vs.

In this video, we break down a classic early-1980s Dianabol (Dbol) study and answer the question every gym bro argues about: Does Dbol build real contractile muscle tissue—or mostly water/“inflated” weight? We look at why scale weight and “looking bigger” doesn’t automatically mean you added true muscle protein, and how researchers used total body nitrogen + potassium to estimate what the weight gain was actually made of. Then we connect the findings to real-world outcomes lifters talk about: rapid size gains, strength bumps, and why so much of it disappears after stopping. ✅ What you’ll learn: • Why weight gain ≠ muscle gain (contractile tissue vs fluid/glycogen/minerals) • How nitrogen retention and potassium changes can hint at what’s happening inside muscle • Why Dbol can make you look full, round, and bigger fast—and why it often fades • The big tradeoffs: blood pressure, water retention, acne, estrogenic effects, gyno risk • When “quick gains” might be more illusion + leverage than long-term tissue growth You can find the full study here: https://sci-hub.se/10.1042/cs0600457 🔗 For All My Info & Resources, Visit Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/anabolicbodybuilding WARNING ======== The Video has been made available for entertainment and educational purposes only.

A 2025 study examined UGL steroids sold in Australia to assess their purity and detect hidden contaminants, including heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and cadmium. Only 4 of 21 samples were correctly dosed, and most contained contaminants. The study raises legitimate concerns, but it also has limitations that are important to understand before drawing broad conclusions.
