2:1 Masteron To Primobolan Ratio Cycle, Low-Dose Deca For Joints? Importance Of Genetics For Muscle

Can genetics stop you from building muscle—even when your training, nutrition, recovery, and performance-enhancement strategy are dialed in?

In this anabolic bodybuilding Q&A, Big Paul answers real questions about muscle growth, progressive overload, exercise selection, fat loss, hormone optimization, coaching, and responsible performance enhancement.

Topics covered include low-dose nandrolone and joint discomfort, when to change your training program, what a high-quality personal training session should look like, and whether a coach should simply push you or also teach you the reasoning behind each exercise.

Paul also breaks down shoulder presses versus lateral raises for complete delt development, why genetics affect muscle-building potential, whether cold rice and resistant starch can cause digestive issues, and how long carb cycling can remain effective during a fat-loss phase.

The discussion also explores why IGF-1 levels may drop during a calorie deficit, whether the upper and lower body require different training approaches, hormone replacement considerations for women, Masteron and Primobolan ratios, reps-in-reserve training, water retention while using insulin, and whether Paul plans to attend the 2026 Mr. Olympia.
