1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,160
ever hit that point where you're putting them hours

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,600
at the gym, eating right, all of it.

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,240
But those gains just refuse to show up.

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:08,560
Totally, I think we've all been there.

5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:09,640
It's frustrating, right.

6
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:10,560
It is.

7
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,920
So today we're going deep on two substances

8
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,680
that promise to blow past all that Superdrol and Anadrol.

9
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,720
Okay, and we're diving into this with Dr. Justin Lazier

10
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,520
as our guide using his article.

11
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,880
Superdrol versus Anadrol, Adrol 50, against metastrone.

12
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:28,720
That's the winch.

13
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,000
Full disclosure though, we're not endorsing these.

14
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:31,840
Right, not at all.

15
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,720
These things are illegal for anything outside

16
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,480
of doctor's orders in most places,

17
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:36,960
and for good reason, as you'll hear.

18
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,440
Absolutely, this is about arming yourselves with facts

19
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,600
so you know what you're dealing with.

20
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,640
Exactly.

21
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,720
So to be clear, we're talking about

22
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,840
anabolic androgenic steroids here.

23
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,800
Okay, and backing up for a sec for anyone who's new to this,

24
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,120
what exactly does that mean?

25
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,160
Basically they're like turbocharged versions

26
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:56,040
of testosterone, the hormone that's like the big kahuna

27
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,280
for muscle growth, among other things.

28
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,720
But here's the thing that always gets me.

29
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,440
Superdrol, they were actually selling this over the counter

30
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,720
as a supplement at one point.

31
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,880
Wait, seriously?

32
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:07,720
Yeah, for real.

33
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,600
How does that even happen?

34
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,080
Right, it's wild.

35
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,720
So back in the early 2000s, Superdrol, or metastrone,

36
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,280
that's the scientific name, it was this new kid on the block.

37
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,800
The regulators, they were playing catch up,

38
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,400
didn't quite grasp how potent it was for building muscle.

39
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,600
So it's like someone found a loophole and-

40
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,600
Exactly.

41
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,000
But one that could wreck your health in the process.

42
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,280
100%.

43
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,040
And Dr. Lisier, he doesn't sugarcoat it in his article.

44
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,160
He straight up calls out Superdrol as one of the worst

45
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,360
things you can do to your liver.

46
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,200
Really?

47
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,440
We're talking that bad.

48
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,040
What kind of damage are we talking about?

49
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,000
Give me the breakdown.

50
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,320
So your liver, it's like your body's filter, right?

51
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:48,160
Right.

52
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,160
And Superdrol, it just slams it,

53
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,520
puts it through the wringer.

54
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,720
Imagine like pulling sludge into your car engine.

55
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Okay, I'm seeing it.

56
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,040
That's kind of what Superdrol does to your liver.

57
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,360
Over time, it can lead to some serious damage,

58
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,400
even complete liver failure.

59
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,920
So we're not talking about a little ache or pain here,

60
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,400
we're talking about your liver shutting down.

61
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,480
Potentially, yeah.

62
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,320
Yeah.

63
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,520
And as if that wasn't bad enough.

64
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:13,440
There's more.

65
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,920
Oh yeah, it messes with your heart too,

66
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:17,400
like your cholesterol levels.

67
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,480
Superdrol can send them spiraling,

68
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,960
increasing your risk of heart disease.

69
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,240
It's like a double whammy.

70
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,840
It's crazy how something that's supposed

71
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,120
to make you look good can actually be so destructive

72
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,320
on the inside.

73
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,720
Okay, so we've covered Superdrol.

74
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,560
Right.

75
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,600
But then there's Anadrol.

76
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,600
And this is where it gets kind of strange, Ray,

77
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,360
because Dr. Lozier's article,

78
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,040
it mentions that Anadrol actually has legit medical uses.

79
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:42,880
It does.

80
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,280
Which seems kind of wild,

81
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,880
considering we were just talking about liver damage.

82
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,120
Yeah, no, it's not your typical party drug, that's for sure.

83
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,440
So Anadrol oxymethylone, if we're getting technical.

84
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Right.

85
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,440
It actually first developed to tackle things like anemia.

86
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,320
Anemia, okay.

87
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,520
Where your body's not making enough red blood cells.

88
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,240
Got it, so it boosts red blood cell production.

89
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,080
Exactly.

90
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,880
How does that translate to packing on muscle?

91
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,920
Okay, so think of it this way.

92
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:11,760
Red blood cells, their job is to shuttle oxygen

93
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,640
throughout your system, right?

94
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:16,480
And muscles, they crave oxygen,

95
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,800
especially when you're pushing them hard during a workout.

96
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,640
Makes sense.

97
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:22,520
So Anadrol, by ramping up those red blood cells,

98
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,480
it means more oxygen is reaching those muscles.

99
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,320
Okay.

100
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,720
Which can lead to a boost in strength and endurance.

101
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,280
So it's like giving your muscles this like oxygen rich fuel.

102
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,120
Exactly.

103
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,880
To like supercharge their performance.

104
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,720
You got it.

105
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,920
Okay, that makes sense.

106
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,120
But I mean, if it's potent enough to, you know,

107
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,040
help people with these medical conditions,

108
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,760
it's gotta come with some downsides, right?

109
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:44,600
Oh, absolutely.

110
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,080
Just like with Supertrol, there are risks.

111
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,280
We're talking potential liver damage,

112
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,480
especially with prolonged use.

113
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,000
Ah, so another one for the avoid list,

114
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,560
as far as your liver goes.

115
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,400
Pretty much, yeah.

116
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,520
I mean, it's not exactly, it's not exactly health food,

117
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:00,360
if you know what I mean.

118
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,640
Right, right.

119
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,480
And I remember reading something in Dr. Lozier's article

120
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,560
about Anadrol causing water retention.

121
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,400
Oh yeah.

122
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,040
Which is kind of ironic, right?

123
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:10,920
You're trying to get ripped,

124
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,080
but you might end up looking puffy instead.

125
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,680
Yeah, it's one of those weird side effects.

126
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,920
Basically, it can throw your body's

127
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,000
fluid balance out of whack.

128
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,680
So you might see it most in your face, hands, feet.

129
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,080
Not exactly the look most people are going for.

130
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,320
So to be clear, stacking these two substances,

131
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,520
Supertrol and Anadrol, that's a recipe for disaster.

132
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,120
Yeah, that's playing with fire, man.

133
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,360
We're talking about potentially multiplying those risks.

134
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,200
Right.

135
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,880
Liver damage, heart problems,

136
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,480
you're really rolling the dice with your health.

137
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,640
So just to reiterate, not a good idea.

138
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,360
No, no, not at all.

139
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,280
Don't do it.

140
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:48,640
It's like you're playing chicken with your own body,

141
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,080
thinking you can beat the odds.

142
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,000
Exactly.

143
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,840
And here's the thing, even if you dodge those,

144
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:56,160
you know, the immediate side effects,

145
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,600
the long-term stuff, it can sneak up on you.

146
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,440
Yeah.

147
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,200
Like you might not even realize the damage you've done

148
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,000
until like years down the road.

149
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,520
So it's not just about like the here and now,

150
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,720
it's the potential for like long-lasting consequences.

151
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,560
Exactly.

152
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,400
It makes you wonder, like why would anyone even risk it?

153
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:15,360
It's a good question.

154
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,440
And Dr. Lossier, he touches on this in the article,

155
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,920
kind of the psychology behind it.

156
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,800
Okay, yeah.

157
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,040
There's this drive, this, I don't know,

158
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,000
this need for that instant gratification, you know?

159
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,360
Like I want it now, I want those results now,

160
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,480
and I want them fast.

161
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,320
Right.

162
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,040
And that can really cloud your judgment.

163
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,600
Yeah, like you're so focused on the destination

164
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,400
that you're not thinking about, you know.

165
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,240
The journey.

166
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,320
The journey, exactly.

167
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,400
And whether you're like blowing past

168
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,400
all the warning signs along the way.

169
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,560
Yeah, and those warning signs, they're there for a reason.

170
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,480
It's like that siren song of like the quick fix,

171
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,360
the easy path.

172
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,200
Totally.

173
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,960
But it's like, it's an illusion, right?

174
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:52,800
It is.

175
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,080
And it can be a dangerous one at that.

176
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,960
So really, it seems like the big takeaway here is,

177
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,040
there are no shortcuts.

178
00:05:59,040 --> 00:05:59,880
No.

179
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,160
When it comes to your health, when it comes to fitness,

180
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,360
it's about putting in the work, making smart choices,

181
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,080
and you know, being patient.

182
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,160
100%.

183
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,880
And I think this deep dive

184
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,880
has really hammered home that point, right?

185
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,160
It's not just about what these substances are,

186
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,680
but it's about understanding how they work,

187
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,600
the risks involved, and what it all means,

188
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,000
you know, for us as individuals,

189
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,040
but also in the bigger picture of like sports and ethics.

190
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,160
Right, it makes you think.

191
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,120
And you know, we didn't even get into all of that.

192
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,400
Oh no, not even close.

193
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,720
No.

194
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,360
But it's a whole other conversation.

195
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,200
It is.

196
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,800
So I think on that note,

197
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,920
that wraps up our deep dive into SuperDraw and Anadraw.

198
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,440
Man, it's been eye-opening, to say the least.

199
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,280
For sure.

200
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:45,480
Hopefully this has given everyone listening,

201
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,640
you know, a good dose of knowledge,

202
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,440
helped you, you know, understand

203
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,880
how to sort through the hype,

204
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,080
and most importantly, you know,

205
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,440
given you some things to consider

206
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,440
when it comes to your own health and wellbeing.

207
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,680
Absolutely.

208
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,200
Because that's what it's all about.

209
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,880
Until next time, everyone, stay curious,

210
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,880
stay informed,

211
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:26,880
and stay safe.
