This week, Kenny Santucci sits down with NYC based strength and conditioning coach, Dr. Pat Davidson for a candid conversation about his transformation from a “soft 235” to bodybuilding shape through renewed training, nutrition, and eventually PED use. They break down performance-enhancing drugs, SARMs, bloodwork, testosterone, and the importance of coaching—while also addressing the real health risks tied to lifestyle, cardiovascular health, and misuse.
