New IFBB Pro! + Blood Work Review | ETP#195

In ETP #195, we break down Aaron’s journey to earning his IFBB
Pro Card. From the adrenaline of show day to the quiet low points
that hit once you see your competition. We share exactly what
went into Aaron's prep: the training, the posing grind, and the
mental side of the equation that makes or breaks a successful
stage outcome.


We follow this up with a deep dive into our most recent sets of
blood work. Bryan walks through his latest lab results and some
health markers he’s watching closely, and then Aaron pulls back
the curtain on his own labs and how PED usage ties into the
bigger health picture.


We wrap with some honest reflection on chasing elite goals
without losing sight of longevity.
