A month and a half ago my heart started skipping beats, and after an EKG, an ER visit, and a cardiologist, the answer was stress, not PEDs.
Nothing was wrong with my heart.
Everything was wrong with how I was running my life.
So this is the first solo episode of the DDT Method Podcast, and it's the whole plan that came out of it. The training, nutrition and… all the compounds I’m taking and what I’m leaving behind.
About me: I'm Drew Donaldson, founder of DDT Method. I spent fifteen years as a pro wrestler including time in WWE developmental, I ran MI40 Gym as head trainer and general manager under Ben Pakulski, and have been using peptides since 2010. I coach, I run the DDT Method School Group, and I'm in a lifelong argument with absolutist fitness advice.
5 Key Takeaways
- The three things that were wrong when my heart started skipping beats, and none of them was my heart.
- Why a calcium score of zero at 38 didn't let me off the hook, and the test that finds what it can't.
- The two blood markers most guys on gear have never heard of, and the one that should keep you off steroids entirely if it's high.
- The announcement: my testosterone dose for the rest of my life, and why I'm done with everything above it.
- How to use fat loss tools by the day instead of by the cycle: which days get BAM15, which get ATX-304, and why they never overlap.
