An 185-pound frame earned in the trenches taught Anthony Castore that no protocol can out-discipline a broken foundation.
From a 117-pound teenager asking too many questions to a Fellow at the Seeds Scientific Research & Performance Institute, Castore turned an obsession with cellular mechanics into decades of coaching elite athletes, executives, and physicians. Before chasing modern peptide hype and quick-fix stacks, lifters must master the free, high-yield biological signals that only heavy iron, dialed nutrition, and real recovery can trigger.
