The Anabolic Cartel Podcast is about Athletic Performance Enhancement in all forms. We are going to primarily focus on PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs). We want to bring awareness to those that choose to use PEDs. We want to talk about the positives and negative aspects that many are not aware of when they make the choice to use these drugs. We especially want the youth to know about the potential consequences if they choose to use PEDs at an early age. Nowadays it is a common sight in most gyms to see guys using PEDs for no other reason than to get big. They don't understand what they are actually doing to their bodies or how to minimize some of the risks associated with their use. Most of the people using these drugs today could probably reach their goals without using steroids but are not willing to do the research and put in the effort needed to get to their goal. This is why many turn to steroids. We believe that steroids do have their place for those that want to push past their natural potential but they shouldn't be used before a person has pushed the limits of what they can do naturally. These are all reasons why we are doing the podcast. We want to talk more openly about PEDs and their use with those who have knowledge and experience with the drugs. We will talk about the many myths surrounding these drugs. We will also discuss ways to help deal with some of the side effects that can occur from their use and ways to try to maintain health while using PEDs. We also will discuss the other aspects of performance enhancement such as diet, training protocols, nutrition, supplementation, and anything else that deals with human performance enhancement. We will have guests on the show ranging from PED experts, to doctors, PED users, professional bodybuilders, as well as professional and amateur athletes from a variety of sports. We hope you enjoy our edgy, detailed, look inside the dark side of Sports, PEDs…..

    This episode was about performance-enhancing drugs and their long-term effects. Weighing the risk and reward of pushing yourself to be a competitive bodybuilder. How social media has impacted the sport for better or worse. Things to consider from a bodybuilder who has done it for 20+ years—things that he may regret now. How being a father to a young child can change your outlook regarding personal risk assessment or risk tolerance things he wishes he could still do but knows aren't worth the toll they will take on his body. Current issues in the industry Potential rumors about Ameen having something to do with Andy Hamaan's death (ibogaine). Leo, a longevity influencer who was well-known on YouTube, passed away at 34 under suspicious circumstances. Advice you would give to a younger guy just getting started on how to maximize progress and minimize damage.
