    Blood Sweat & Gear 335 Are You Only as Big as Your Dose?

    In this episode of Blood Sweat & Gear on Think Big Bodybuilding, coaches Skip Hill, Andrew Berry and Scott McNally answer your toughest bodybuilding questions — covering testosterone dosing, TRT, growth hormone protocols, hematocrit management, contest prep strategy and the current state of the underground PED market. We break down Olympia-level peaking consistency, bloodwork timing after dose adjustments, managing PSA on cycle, GH side effects, first cycle dosing, and whether size is really determined by how much you take. We also debate old school mass monsters, critique physiques live, and talk coaching strategy for competitors vs lifestyle lifters. Blood Sweat & Gear is a bodybuilding Q&A podcast where three experienced prep coaches share real-world insight on contest prep, PED education, training principles and long-term progress.
