Episode 76 with Richard Foster: Test Is Best?
Richard Foster is the owner of popular supplements brand, Strom Sports Nutrition, and is an advisor and educator to many athletes including strongmen, powerlifters, bodybuilders and jiu-jitsu competitors. In this episode, we discuss whether we need as much variety in our anabolic steroid cycles as we are led to believe, and whether there might be a scenario in which an untested athlete could get sufficient benefits from his cycle if solely using testosterone and no other anabolics and/or androgens. We also explore the idea of androgen receptor burnout/downregulation and ask whether this theory has any truth to it.
