In this episode of Drugs N Stuff, we answer your steroid and PED questions covering TRT, Tren, Deca, NPP, gyno prevention, contest prep cycles, growth hormone, and more.

We also discuss cycle design, nandrolone, androgen receptor sensitivity, and the practical decisions lifters face when planning their next phase.

Plus, Dave shares another chapter of Dave the Fugitive and we answer a wide range of audience questions.
