SLU-PP-332: Is it really an exercise mimetic?

by Andrew Berry on March 31, 2025

SLU-PP-332 is a synthetic compound that functions as a pan-agonist (a drug or compound that activates multiple subtypes of a specific receptor) for estrogen receptor-related receptors (ERRs), particularly ERRα. It has been shown to enhance mitochondrial function and respiration in skeletal muscle cells, effectively mimicking the same effects one would get from physical exercise. This has made it a promising candidate for therapeutic interventions in metabolic diseases, muscle disorders and of course physique enhancement.

GLP-1: Potential Applications in Bodybuilding

by Andrew Berry on February 28, 2025

Unless you have been living under a rock, you must be seeing a lot of hype about the class of compounds we will refer to GLP-1’s. Now while GLP-1 or Glucagon Like Peptide – 1 is just one of the pathways we will be discussing,

Methylene Blue for Bodybuilding and Beyond

by Andrew Berry on January 28, 2025

Methylene blue (MB) is a synthetic compound initially developed as a dye (think blue jeans) but later recognized for its diverse therapeutic applications, ranging from treating methemoglobinemia and carbon monoxide poisoning to its neuroprotective properties.

Offseason Oral Peds for Men

by Andrew Berry on June 14, 2024

Last month I discussed female offseason PED compounds. This month, I’m going to focus on male oral PED use and how I tend to use orals in the offseason- if at all.

PED Use in the Offseason for Females

by Andrew Berry on April 30, 2024

Despite (in my opinion) females being the fastest growing demographic to start using PEDs, there is still a shortage of information out there regarding responsible use.

Katie Butman, New IFBB Wellness Pro

by Andrew Berry on April 29, 2024

the plan was to come back to nationals in 2023 and make the first call out. Well, Katie did that and more, securing a split middle lineup in the first call out and taking home one of the IFBB pro cards. Here is what we did this year.

Benefits of Green Tea

by Andrew Berry on October 9, 2023

Green Tea or Camellia sinensis is a type of plant native to East, South and Southeast Asia whose leaf buds are used to make tea traditionally. It grows as an evergreen shrub or small tree that is usually trimmed to below two meters when it’s cultivated for its leaves. The flowers of the plant are usually yellowish-white with 7 or 8 petals per bud.
