PED is a broad term for Performance-enhancing drugs.

There's two big categories, SARMs and Roids. Everyone knows roids, you take them, you get big. SARMs are lesser known but tend to lower body fat while preserving/gaining muscle (since normal cutting routine you will lose lots of muscle).

There's also fat burning drugs which are their own third category with DNP and Clenbuterol being the most common. Both are very dangerous and have a host of side effects, these are what hollywood/celebrities use to slim up fast.

It's a fantastic research rabbit hole to go down, and they're much more prevalent than you think.



Thanks for this answer, I don't go into the gym so I only knew steroids, and wasn't sure about the rest.
