The bodybuilding world’s best-kept secrets are finally revealed in this discussion between six-time Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead and human biologist Gary Brecka. Learn how peptides like BPC-157, TB-500, and growth hormone-releasing compounds became the difference between career-ending injuries and championship-level recovery. Chris opens up about his autoimmune kidney condition that nearly destroyed his career at 22, and how it led him to pioneer a more intelligent approach to performance enhancement.
