We recently had the opportunity to sit down with on the DDTMethod Podcast and dive deep into one of the most misunderstood topics in fitness: training programming.

In this episode, we break down how effective training goes far beyond simply choosing exercises or following a popular split. We discuss how optimizing a program requires understanding the individual in front of you, their goals, recovery capacity, training history, lifestyle, strengths, weaknesses, and much more.

One of the biggest takeaways is that the “perfect” training split doesn’t exist. The best program is a living, breathing system that evolves alongside the person using it. When training is truly individualized, results come faster, recovery improves, and progress becomes far more predictable.

This episode is packed with actionable insights for anyone looking to train smarter and get more from their time in the gym.

When it comes to mitochondrial peptides, supplements, and performance-enhancing tools, there are two equally important pieces of the puzzle.

First, we need to understand what the compound is doing mechanistically. What pathways is it affecting? What systems is it supporting? What outcomes should we reasonably expect based on the science and physiology?

Second, we have to look at the individual response. Human beings aren’t textbooks. The same tool can produce very different outcomes depending on genetics, lifestyle, training, nutrition, stress levels, and overall health status.

The real art is combining both. We take what we know mechanistically, compare it against real world results, performance metrics, biomarkers, and subjective feedback, and then build a strategy that is specific to the individual rather than forcing the individual into a generic strategy.

On the DDTMethod Podcast, shares insights on the tools he’s used to compete, perform, and thrive at the highest levels throughout every stage of his career.

Loaded carries are one of the most underrated tools in fitness. Whether it’s farmer’s walks, suitcase carries, front rack carries, or sandbag carries, they challenge your cardiovascular system, improve work capacity, build grip strength, reinforce posture, strengthen the core, and teach the body to transfer force efficiently through the entire kinetic chain. Unlike many traditional exercises that isolate individual muscles, loaded carries force everything to work together. They can help improve conditioning, increase resilience, enhance athletic performance, and build real-world strength that carries over to everyday life.

On the DDTMethod Podcast, puts together some absolutely badass protocols drawing from his background in elite strength and conditioning, while also integrating principles of health, longevity, and aesthetic development. If you’re looking to get stronger, healthier, and more athletic without sacrificing physique goals, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. 🎙️

There’s a lot of debate around performance-enhancing drugs, but one thing that often gets missed is that the goal isn’t always to stay at the same dose year round.

In certain situations, especially competitive bodybuilding, there may be strategic periods where higher dosages are necessary to create a specific adaptation, drive progress, or prepare for competition. The mistake is thinking that pushing is the entire strategy.

The real skill is knowing when to push, when to pull back, how far to pull back, and how long to stay there before making another move. Long term success often comes from managing stress, recovery, health markers, and adaptation cycles just as intelligently as you manage the periods of aggressive progress.

🎙️ breaks down his philosophies on when to push and when to pull back on the DDTMethod Podcast.

Jardiance is a drug originally designed for blood sugar control, but what’s interesting is what it does beyond glucose.

By pushing excess glucose out through the urine, it can improve insulin sensitivity, reduce water retention, improve cardiovascular health markers, and in some cases even support body composition by creating a mild caloric drain while improving metabolic efficiency.

For some individuals, this can mean looking tighter, flatter around the waist, less inflamed, and metabolically healthier overall. But like anything powerful, context, dosing, hydration, electrolytes, and the rest of the protocol matter.

There’s a massive debate happening right now around “sports TRT,” “athletic HRT,” “HRT plus,” whatever you want to call it.

The concept is simple: maintain hormone levels above what’s commonly prescribed in traditional replacement therapy, but keep them low enough that advocates claim you can avoid meaningful side effects or long term health consequences.

Some people swear you can live there year round for years if blood work, cardiovascular markers, inflammation, hematology, kidney function, liver function, and overall health metrics stay in check.

Others argue that true HRT should only bring you back to genuinely normal physiological levels for your age and individual biology, nothing more.

And here’s where people get confused…

There is no such thing as a universal “HRT dose.”

It’s not 100
It’s not 160
It’s not 200

HRT is whatever dosage keeps THAT individual within a healthy physiological range, resolves symptoms, improves quality of life, and does not create red flags in blood work or health markers.

That’s it.

The REAL discussion starts when you push beyond that into this gray area of “mildly enhanced but still allegedly safe.”

Because while some people appear to tolerate it extremely well, the emerging conversation now is whether truly optimized replacement levels may actually be enough to maintain a surprising amount of the physique and performance people build during higher dose phases.

gives a really interesting perspective on this during our discussion on the DDTMethod podcast.

This was a wild transformation that took place in under two months. Also wild, “The Touch” by Stan Bush from the 86 Transformers movie is available on IG. F**k yes. Take a long time reading this so you can listen. It’s incredible.

Anyways, what’s even crazier is we continued progressing and transforming for months afterwards, but that initial shift was absolutely mind blowing.

We did this with what most people would commonly define as “sports HRT,” definitely utilizing some tools, but never pushing beyond roughly 3 schmiligrams (IG seems to flag the real abbreviation) per kilogram of bodyweight.

Because we suspected a level of mitochondrial dysfunction, we intentionally avoided stimulants and instead focused on precise mitochondrial support tools designed not just to accelerate fat loss, but to restore the internal operating system itself.

We also utilized liberal amounts of anti inflammatory interventions to address chronic inflammation issues that had likely been holding progress back for years.

The end result was a massive drop in water retention while simultaneously ripping through body fat at an absurd pace.

Training had to be intelligent because all of this was done while managing a chronic back injury, but Matt checked every box imaginable and created one of the fastest transformations I’ve personally ever witnessed.

And the craziest part is that it didn’t come from extremes.

It came from synergy.

We maintained a relatively steady caloric deficit without constantly slashing food intake into the ground. Instead, we manipulated macronutrient and micronutrient composition based on training days, off days, and the specific demands of each session in order to create a more intelligent environment for performance, recovery, and fat loss simultaneously.

I don’t know what the real definition of “Hybrid Training” is but just totally broke down how proper programming, nutrition, and supplementation can drive you towards MULTIPLE goals by shifting primary focus without totally giving up on one objective for another.

two weeks “on plan”

Worked up to mostly metabolic high lactate training. supersets/giant sets. 3 days are 20 minute BFR sessions. 3 days are longer but low rest/high work (about one hour total). 2 lower body HIIT sessions and 2 upper body HIIT sessions per week. 20-40 min LISS daily. 20 min Zone 3 cardio (stairmaster or elliptical) 2x per week. Two 20 min walks outside in a 40lb weighted vest and 10lb ankle weights per week. 4 sauna sessions and 4 cold plunges per week.

2500 cal per day. Macros and food sources shift depending on the workout but protein is generally around 200g.

300mgs Test Cyp per week
5mg MOTS-C 3x per week
200mcgs Hexerelin AM
1mg Tesamorelin PM
500mgs Injectable L Carnatine before training and before cold plunging
200mgs Glutathione and 40mgs NAD+ on off days.
Retatrutide 4mgs per week

General health supps and nootropics for work are all in play but above is what I’d consider my “PEDs”.

Stay tuned for the rest of my non-conventional summer prep for nothing 😂. Goal one is to be absolutely shredded an tan AF for the St Pete Pro so I look decent when I take pictures with my clients who are competing 👊

“Why don’t you step on stage, Drew?”

Bc if I want cheesecake and burritos, I eat cheesecake and burritos. Don’t judge me.

Go Time.

Starting slow for a 12 week transformation. Weight is about 205lbs at 6ft tall.

300 mgs Test Cyp (this is prescribed HRT - yes, 300 can be HRT - this keeps me at about 1000-1100 ng/dl - towards the top of the range with no need for an AI - estrogen meds are an as needed medication only and you should probably do you best to keep them at bay as much as possible - I see too many coaches being far too liberal with AIS)

Huge focus on grounding, hot and cold exposure, and sunlight. Watch the latest podcast with David Herrera to understand why.

Pinealon/Epitalon/Chelohart/Ventfort - bioregulators for the pineal gland, telemere length, circadian rhythm, and heart/vascular health

Retatrutide is back in at 6mgs per week - small reduction in appetite but the bigger effect is regarding nutrient partitioning - Reta is NOT ozempic.

MOTS-C 5mgs 3x per week for 3 weeks then once per week for three weeks - mitochondrial/metabolic health and far loss

Mitochondrial Support Supps - coq10, urolithin-a, pqq, alpha lipoic acid and carbon 60 all used strategically (not daily)

Tesamorellin/Hexarelin - leaning into a GHRP/GRHR combo to take a break from regular exogenous GH use and to lean into their abdominal fat reduction and cardiac benefits/vagal time respectively.

Couple rad nootropics - I’ll go into this protocol later but I’m trying to science the f**k out of my brain so I can learn more.

Going forward I’ll be deploying Bam15, SLUPP332, 5amino1mq, and a plethora of NAD support. Maybe some nandrolone and an oral DHT. We’ll see……

Weekly regular use of infrared sauna, cold plunge (oh no my hypertrophies), carbogen therapy, and red light therapy.

Doing alot of different stuff with my training and food. I’ll highlight those changes as we go. Sh*tloads of high effort cardio, rope flow, med ball slams, battle rope, simulated truck pulls (you read that right), kettlebells, mace work, rotational training, and BFR training - along with some of my more traditional Hypertrophy work (which obviously will be completely negated by my foolish cold plunging and functional movements, right bodybuilding purists?)
