Fitness Sensation Devin Bernardo Reveals How Law of Diminishing Returns Works in Relation to Ster**ds and PEDs

Bodybuilding is a sport of constantly breaking plateaus. That’s because after reaching your genetic potential, the gains decline. However, professional bodybuilders like Devin Bernardo often counter it with ste***ds and other performance-enhancing dr*gs. However, the fitness influencer and competitive bodybuilder explained that even performance boosters have their limits.

While appearing on Transparent with Nyle Nayga, the social media fitness sensation explained how increasing dosage doesn’t equally increase muscle gain. When Nyle Nayga asked how much of the controversial PED “tr*n” Bernardo uses before a contest, he spilled the beans on diminishing returns from personal experience. Bernardo also mentioned the shocking lengths some bodybuilders are willing to go to.

Devin Bernardo didn’t notice any difference

Bernardo didn’t hesitate to “honestly” answer Nayga’s inquiry. “So I did 400 (mg) my last prep, but my prep before that, I went up to 300,” confessed the competitive bodybuilder. However, despite the 100 mg increase in dosage didn’t make much of a difference. The bodybuilder felt just as strong and gained as much muscle as he had done on the lower dosage.

“I feel like the benefits stop at a certain point,” said the bodybuilder. Hence, Bernardo didn’t get any noticeable results despite the increased dosage. This holds true for all PEDs, even those that are not ste***ds. However, Devin Bernardo also explained how some people will disregard the risks to chase the gains. The bodybuilder said that some take around 100 mg of an**ar per dose.

“I feel like a god, off 30 (mg),” exclaimed the competitive bodybuilder. Devin Bernardo also warned that those who experiment with constantly rising doses don’t just get diminishing returns but also harm their organs, especially the liver. In fact, even when done following every precaution, prolonged PED affects the body negatively.

Greg Doucette’s experience with PEDs

Former IFBB pro bodybuilder turned fitness influencer Greg Doucette has a similar resume to Devin Bernardo. While social media wasn’t around when the 47-year-old was young, Doucette has recounted his experience in detail. Coach Greg encapsulated his 20-year-long bodybuilding journey on an Instagram post and shared his experience.

Although the bodybuilding influencer ran his ste***d cycles with caution, over time, the bodybuilder faced various health issues. Despite losing 8 lbs of muscle after the Canadian stopped taking steroids, he said, “It’s simply not worth the risk.” Today, the bodybuilder educates people about PED usage in bodybuilding.
