Steroid Experiences in Bodybuilding

Metalcore & Muscle

In this episode of the podcast, Evan attempts to answer the following questions related to steroid use:

• How many people are using performance enhancing drugs?
• If someone is using, why did they initiate use?
• What are their experiences using steroids?
• What are the side effects of using?

The remainder of the episode includes a fitness tip (pre-exhaust training) and Evan's selection for song of the week, which comes from the band LANDMVRKS.
