Episode notes
Tongkat Ali Experiment Update
- Brian Borstein experimented with Tongkat Ali for testosterone enhancement.
- He observed increased libido but awaits blood tests to confirm testosterone changes.
Muscle Gain: Maintenance vs Bulk
- Muscle can be gained at maintenance but slower; bulking remains more optimal.
- Performance gains from training give a stronger hypertrophic signal than food increases alone.
- PEDs alter conventional rate-of-gain models, enabling faster progress.
Rotating Movements vs Consistency
- Rotating movements every few weeks for hypertrophy is fine but slows skill acquisition.
- For strength, consistent practice of specific lifts remains more important.
