BEST PRE-WORKOUTS: generationiron.com/best-pre-w...
Pro bodybuilders are no stranger to using substances to help optimize their body for the best physiques possible. That can range from natural supplements such as protein powder and creatine. It can also mean PEDs and anabolic steroids for improved strength and recovery. But what about painkillers, relievers, and opiates? Can these help stave off soreness and pain during a workout - allowing for more reps and sets? In the latest episode of the Generation Iron Podcast, Victor Martinez explains how painkillers were a popular substance used by pro bodybuilders in the 90s and why he ultimately didn't want to utilize such a tactic.

All of this recording in the weight room is really the fault of the gym owners allowing it to happen. There needs to be signed stating that no recording devices are allowed and your phone should be put in a locker while you are training.

Back in the oxycontin days, I freaking LOVED working out on that stuff. Man, you feel great! You feel too good. Not only are you going to injure yourself because your body can't tell you when you have gone too far but you will get addicted. My saving grace was the supply just wasn't there for me to get full-blown addicted - thank God!! I was very lucky. These days with how widely available fentanyl is I am super glad I grew up back then and not now. The bodybuilding lifestyle creates a "drugs solve my problems" mentality. It creates a mindset rife for drug abuse of all kinds if you aren't careful. Some can just stick to PEDs but most I knew did not.

Actually not really. Saying painkillers only kill by reacting with other things is completely false. And calling xanax a painkiller is completely false too. Xanax is a benzo. Anti anxiety med. Very addictive in its own way, but not a painkiller. Painkillers kill by respiratory depression. Thats what an OD is. Opiates stop your breathing at Overdose levels.

Men should wear cooling glasses like ray ban in the gym, so no girl can tell who he looking at. You can learn a thing or two from politicians and actors who wear dark glasses to avoid acknowledging people who they don't like. I never watched generation iron regularly but after watching victory Martinez on the show, this dude is very cool and hilarious. A born you tube star. Keep up the good work Mr. Victor Martinez. He is very knowledgeable, talks sense, honest about his views etc a treat to watch him talk.

Víctor this is why I think women with shape and muscles who do porn is really bad for women and bodybuilding because there is so much muscle porn online it almost suggests that women who workout out are an easy lay or some kind of maneater when it clearly isnt the case…..so it’s a tricky subject. kira Jaston, Denise masino ,Brandi mae ,mandy squires,Bakhar Nabieva, and many others have much to answer for!!!!.

I love Victor but this opioids discussion is a lot less complicated than you're making it sound. Taking opioids as a crutch for anything, or just taking opiates at all, will make you a junkie and ruin your fucking life. I know this because I got addicted to pills while recovering from a knee injury when I was a track runner. I came back popping 60 MG of OxyCodone a day and not only was i faster but I also built a substantial amount of muscle that I hadn't had before, training parts of the body that I never had before. And then I was taking them every day. And then I was taking heroin every day. And then, I bottomed out at 26. After the first year of recovery, I went from 165 under 10 percent body fat to 185 soggy as shit. It took 10 years to re-build my physique. I am pro PEDs in moderation, but anti opiates 100 percent.

I was on Nubian back in 1999 and was buying it in tj back then for 25 a bottle and John ramno came out with a artical in MD in 2001 I think Septemberor October saying that Nubian will soon cease and some people will go to heroin or kick it and 6 months later the price went to 100 bucks a bottle and I was so addicted I ended up going to oxy then heroin then life passed me by for 15 yrs battling it . Finally I found how to get off . The only way was to find purpose and find directions to focus on . U have to commit cause what your doing is a slow suicide.

They gave me 5/325mg oxycodone after I had appendicitis for pain because it hurt like hell. Absolutely worthless unless I took like 3 of them. And I'm not sure if it actually did anything for pain. I was just loopy and eventually went to sleep. That said I felt my breathing definitely slow down which looking back at it is scary.
