Gordon, Roids, and the Rest of 'Em

One of the benefits of becoming a bodybuilding fan during the pandemic has been learning a lot more about performance enhancing substances than ever. Among the curators of this exhibition has been "Derek" a guy who runs a supplement company and YouTube channel called "More Plates More Dates."

Derek provides a ton of information on steroids and other performance enhancers, and uses self-described "clickbait" videos on celebrity transformation to help bring folks into his more scientific content. I've watched his video takes on everyone from actor/comedian Kumail Nanjiani to UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. And now, apparently by popular request, he's turned his sights on "The King" - Gordon Ryan.
