Paul breaks down why hitting 200g of protein isn’t as hard (or expensive) as people think, how to approach lean bulking, and what to consider during cutting phases. There’s also deep discussion on HGH, insulin, TRT, and compounds like Deca, EQ, and Ngenla—plus how to manage side effects like water retention, acne, and gyno.

Paul also covers top supplements, sleep optimization, digestion tips with GLPs, and strategies to bring up lagging body parts. He shares his training split, thoughts on volume vs intensity, and even some wild gyno surgery stories.

This episode covers progressive overload for hypertrophy, how to track workouts in a structured way, and why perfecting form and maximizing mechanical tension matter more than chasing sloppy PRs. P

aul also gets into the reality of insulin use during a bulk, including whether insulin gains are permanent, how glycogen, fullness, and water retention affect the look of muscle, and the real risks of blood sugar crashes, insulin resistance, and poor decision-making around pre-workout Humalog use. The video also dives into low dose trenbolone, tren side effects, whether smaller doses can still produce meaningful results, and why short duration and caution matter.

On top of that, Paul answers whether adding tesamorelin on top of growth hormone makes sense, or whether it is mostly redundant if GH is already in the stack.
