Martinez, along with Ehsan Farahi, Edwin Mejia Jr., and Vlad Yudin, discussed the impact of steroids on mental health, high-rep workouts, as well as the dangers behind certain steroids like Nilevar and Pronabol, and other topics. They started talking about Akim Williams, who was there in a previous episode of the same podcast. According to Yudin, he ate McDonald’s every day for a whole year.

While talking about McDonald’s, Martinez recalled Dave Palumbo, who was the biggest promoter for the brand. Yudin asked Martinez whether he liked McDonald’s, and the IFBB pro instantly had a disapproving face. He was not an avid fan of the fast-food brand, and he recalled that even as a kid when he could not afford fast food, he never craved the taste of a McDonald’s burger or fries. Martinez also stated a strange thing that happened with the fast food and said,??I think I hate it once it cools down; it is the worst. You can’t reheat it; yeah, unheatable, you know.”

However, even he abandoned the diet because it was not ideal for long-term cardiovascular health. So Akim and Martinez seem to be on the same page about the health risks involved with fast food. Martinez also stated earlier that, rather than focusing on steroids, he spends more money on proper diets.
