I've Tried Everything To Enhance My Physique & Performance: Here’s What Works | Vigorous Steve

Vigorous Steve is known for his no-nonsense approach to bodybuilding, hormones, and performance enhancement, and in this episode, he brings that same clarity to a wide-ranging conversation on how to optimise your body without destroying your health.

We talk about how to use PEDs responsibly (if at all), why blood work is non-negotiable, and what most people get wrong about testosterone, fertility, and recovery. Steve also opens up about his own journey, how he changed his mind about certain compounds, what he prioritises now, and how to think long-term in a space driven by shortcuts.
