This podcast was sourced from ExcelMale.com, an online forum for men's health, and provides an extensive overview of how various medications impact muscle growth and strength gains from resistance training. It identifies specific drug classes that can hinder muscle development, such as corticosteroids, statins, NSAIDs, and SSRIs, explaining their mechanisms and the strength of evidence for their effects. Conversely, the document details substances that can enhance muscle mass, including anabolic steroids, growth hormone, and SARMs, outlining how they promote hypertrophy and strength while also noting potential risks and duration-dependent outcomes. The overall aim is to inform individuals on how to navigate medication use to optimize their fitness goals, acknowledging the balance between medical necessity and physical aspirations.
