When he was asked about how celebrities stack up before any major hero roles, Derek said, “Most celebrities will be using stuff they can get prescribed legally, that they can travel with, and is human-approved.” Since celebs have to maintain their public image and also travel to different places, this reason seems legit for them.
Derek went on to say what actors like Dwane Johnson, Chris Hemsworth, or Henry Cavill would use to prepare for a role. He said, “So in general that would be replacing their testosterone at a minimum and then pushing that dose up accordingly to whatever their genetics dictate…Growth hormone is typically on the table as well.”
Derek also talked about celebrities using Nandrolone Decanoate injections. He explained that these injections are well-tested, well-understood, and there is evidence of their safety for human use.
