On this week’s episode of the Escape Your Limits Podcast, our guest was the science editor of Muscle and Fitness magazine, an editor-at-large for Flex magazine, and a regular contributor to Ironman magazine for 28 years. His articles were the only articles read in bodybuilding magazines by 3-time Mr. Olympia champion, Frank Zane. He is the creator of Applied Metabolics, an in-depth newsletter about food supplements; exercise science; steroids, and much more.

Besides his writing, he has been a nutrition consultant for numerous elite, world-class athletes such as Floyd Mayweather Jr, Oscar de La Hoya, and Vassiliy Jirov. He was also a competitive bodybuilder himself and trained alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger at the original Gold’s gym in Venice, California in the 70s.

Today, he spills nothing but the truth about:
• The biggest mistakes most bodybuilders make
• The myths, truths, pros, and cons of steroids
• And how a lot of safe supplements can have deathly effects

    Have you ever meet someone who is genuinely excited about what they know and what they can share? That's Jerry. Love the passion.
  • @johnpark7097
    I have had the pleasure of knowing, working alongside and having a friendship with Jerry for close to forty years. He has consulted with many of my clients on supplementation and did many seminars together with my dad for my clients and staff, which were always well attended and very popular. My dad said that in the over fifty years he was in the business he had never met anyone who was as knowledgeable as Jerry Brainum. We had a lot of fun together working with the boxers. Every time I spend time with Jerry and hear him talk I always learn something new. I have learnt more from Jerry re supplementation and nutrition than anybody. A great interview Jerry you're a walking encyclopedia.
  • @tomadavi8097
    Jerry was the go-to guy for nutrition and super sups at Gold's back in the day because of his knowledge on the subject and he's still dropping truth bomb's this very day. Good guy and fantastic bodybuilder from the Golden age.
  • Jerry is the man ! Been following him for years. Everybody should follow his YouTube channel and seek any other interviews he's done with Generation Iron and other notable health n fitness channels. We deff need a part2. Way more to cover.

  • @Procharmo
    I’ve never watched such a comprehensive report/discussion that has convinced me to keep training and not succumb to any PEDs into my old age. Absolutely brilliant 😊😊😊
  • @jaysimmer346
    I don’t want this to be over. I could listen to this Info all night
  • @roblincoln10
    Holy crap, this is one of the most informational things I've seen/heard regarding supplementation and bodybuilding. Excellent, excellent work.
  • I have ADHD and I just watched the full video. What an interview!!
  • @RM-ri3wk
    I'm a 63 y/o para in a wheelchair. Unfortunately, I spend most of my time in bed because of being paralyzed. I lose so much muscle from not being able to move any body part but my right arm. Now that the weather is getting better here in the Midwest I'm able to start exercising again. My family is amazed that with 4 workouts per body part, I'm able to contract and flex the muscle again. So it's never too late. But no BS it isn't easy at all. However, the muscles have come back somewhat and I feel better
  • @alane3983
    This was a fascinating interview. His brain is still working great. Very knowledgeable.
  • One of the best interviews I've ever heard. Love Jerry! Full of knowledge and passion for his trade. Glad I found this.
  • Jerry Brainum is the source of the best information on nutrition and training.
  • @WordChemist
    This interview was sooo good. Jerry is soo knowledgeable.
  • @zero_to_ramy
    Love Jerry's passion about the topics; grateful to have somebody so knowledgeable willing to share. His applied metabolics newsletter is a great source for rich scientifically backed info
  • I like how Mr. Brainum speaks the truth, including that elite athletes (sports or bodybuilding) use steroids. People love to see more home runs and pitchers who hit 100 mph plus fastballs, but no one wants to acknowledge how it’s done.
