Tom Schuster (@CoachTomFit) is an emerging performance coach who went from 105 lbs in a wheelchair after a near-fatal blood clot at age 16 to 255 lbs — gaining over 150 lbs and defying every medical prediction along the way. He now coaches enhanced athletes across the full spectrum from biohacking to bodybuilding competition prep.

In this episode, Drew and Tom break down exactly how to structure compounds, peptides, and protocols for the enhanced athlete who wants maximum results without destroying their health. They cover Increlex, Equipoise vs. DHTs, the 3-peptide rule, female enhancement protocols, SLU dosing truth, DNP in prep, and why understanding how drugs work — not just what they do — is the only thing separating elite coaches from the noise.

Key Takeaways:

• Why one compound is quietly becoming the most talked-about thing in enhanced circles for 2026
• The hard rule on peptide stacking that most coaches are violating — and what it's costing their clients
• Tom's go-to anabolic for growth phases and why he picks it over the popular choice 9 out of 10 times
• How Tom navigates female enhancement without virilization — starting at a dose that will shock most coaches
• Drew's evolving SLU experiment from micrograms to milligrams and what he's actually seeing
• The one piece of biochemistry knowledge that Drew says should be a minimum standard for anyone recommending peptides
• Why the "more is better" peptide culture mirrors the supplement hoarding era of the 2000s
• Tom's 4-pillar picks if he could only use 4 compounds forever
• The real difference between coaches who understand mechanisms vs. coaches who memorize drug profiles
