Dr Mike Israetel from resistance Periodization has been talking a lot about new forms of muscle growing drugs and supplements that have none of the negative effects of steroids that are coming onto the market.
He says these compounds will bring about what he calls the “aesthetic revolution.”
If these are really something we can expect to be widely available in the next 2-3 years and change the way we work out, accelerating muscle growth with less time in the gym - then your dream body will be within reach at almost any age.
I’m operating under the assumption that this is real and true.
So what am I changing?
Well, these compounds are not going to increase your balance or upload new skills into your brain, so I’m starting my training early.
I was going to focus on 6 days a week at the gym for 3 years to get the muscle mass I wanted and then switch to training gymnastics and calisthenics … but not anymore.
I’m accelerating my training and starting gymnastics and calisthenics NOW so I can learn the fundamentals of balance, posture and movement to be able to make gravity my bitch.
Then when these drugs are available, if they are safe and legit, I’ll start taking them to help me add muscle and sculpt.

"none of the negative effects". Yeah... I'm an engineer... If you tell me there are no negative effects of something, that tells me either that you are an idiot or a scammer.
Nothing good comes easy
I've added muscle, lost fat and built my body by following a species specific carnivore diet. Also lifting, sprinting, with some calisthenics for the last 3 years. I'm 54 and in better shape than I was as a 20yo athlete.
I've been using various peptides for probably 4-5 years now. As I'm chasing down 50, I give them credit for helping keep me in the gym lifting intense daily. I posted this note awhile back and it is still the peptide book I recommend to folks wanting to start to learn.
Peptides aren't scary. They're just short chains amino acids. With AI coming into play, I fully expect this industry to blow up as it learns and can provide breakthroughs.

Brad’s beard is going to be huge!
I started eating 4-6 pasture raised egg yolks per day (very little egg whites), eating quality steak 4 days per week, and doing 3-4 water fasts per year of 4-5days. My hair is growing back, I feel fantastic and I have a bike route I’ve been doing for decades that I’ve been trying to get a new PR on for the last 7years. Recently had not even been training and went out and beat my old PR first try. Not by 5, 10, 30 seconds but by 5 MINUTES!!! I’m blown away!!!!
All of these are important but the 100+ hour fasting is a body transformer. Best way I can describe it is that you will actually feel younger for months and it seems you have small new unlocks everytime. Once you learn that you can just drink salt water when you’re hungry and it’ll only be hard for the first 36hours…
Have you experimented or gone down the creatine rabbit hole? Imo it’s 👌 I felt a slight but immediate improvement in performance, due to increase in water absorption in the muscles—amongst other benefits.
"The claim as stated is not currently supported by medical science. It is speculative, aspirational, and mixes some real research directions with hype.
Some compounds (like certain SARMs) are real and under study, but they are not safe, risk‑free, or fully approved.
The idea that they will soon replace steroids entirely — in 2–3 years — is overoptimistic given how drug development works.
The promise of “no negative side effects” is almost certainly false for any powerful compound." (AI)
And that's not even addressing the mental issue around looking a certain way, rather than earning it.
