If you could go back in time with the knowledge you have now, What's something you would have listened to or learned earlier on?
MESO-Rx
Anabolic Steroids
Whats something you wish you knew about bodybuilding earlier?
As a high volume guy for a number of years, I wish i’d have learned…
High volume isn’t necessarily “always” the answer.
Also I was in my mid 20’s before I realized I wasn’t eating enough

That there's no "secret" to making progress. It's basically all about consistently doing the same thing over and over and over again for long periods of time.

That girls don't really care about big guys.
180-220lbs at 10-15% body fat is what they want. Someone who's athletic and tall is their ideal.

Lol this! I recognize that I’ve gone beyond the level of fitness that women care about and it’s strictly for me at this point. 15 year old me that started lifting for women would’ve never guessed that it would garner more attention and compliments from straight men than anything

Who is doing this for the girls?
Note to self: not once ever have I had a baddie come up to me in the gym and ask to palpate my decent diameter and well exposed cephalic veins. Sad but true.
But don't get me started on the teenage males. They are usually enthralled.

I swear I get much more guys hitting on me then women, ESPECIALLY at the gym. My gym is basically a gay cruising spot

That reminds me. I was at a company conference one time with a fitness center at the resort. The HR manager saw me in there with my work out clothes (not used to seeing me like that). She said ewww that is disgusting then immediately started apologizing and a few more times after that. I was like thinking to myself, "hell yeah."While never doing this to get to girls, I actually had one coming over to me once during a session to "hang out"
Pretty fit, and very good looking girl by the way
But during the past 14 years of lifting weights, this happened only once...
She was mortified I would complain for a long while. I said no way, it was cool.
That's the way to go

Sad, but true.
But I didn't get into bodybuilding to get women. I know the percentage of women who fetishize ifbb pro size men is low. And I've had many women tell me in confidence that they were intimated by me because I'm in very good shape. Women generally like to be a few ranks higher then their partners because most are insecure as fuck. They would drive themselves crazy knowing every female they pass is staring their boyfriend up and down because of his size.
I know for a fact it upsets my girlfriend, she's told me.
Both of those pictures have been my reality since I was 18. I can't possibly be the only one.

I'd tell myself:
Don't start a cycle when fat (12%+ BF is fat, ideally be single digits).
If fat hop on TRT doses and get to single digits (true 7%-9%) before upping the dosages. Everything just "works" better and changes are visible day to day and week to week.
It's very hard to lose muscle when on gear, you're losing fat/water. Try losing muscle when you're lean AF and tell me how that goes for you.

THIS! I wasted many years bodybuilding and not eating enough. Finally when I started counting every calorie and carb is when I started seeing dramatic changes.
Man, I wasted so many years early on. And a depressing amount of gear too. Hard to admit, but true.
How important genetics are. You can take all the gear on the planet but the top pros are where they are because they are genetically gifted
If I could talk to my 20 year old self I would say all you need gear wise is a healthy dose of test. Will make you look bigger and more jacked than the average gym bro and won't destroy your health.

Less drugs. Less training volume.
More food. More intensity.
