Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been lifting for years, you’ll find honest information, real user logs, and products that actually work.

Who Was Bostin Loyd?

Bostin Loyd was an American bodybuilder born on March 29, 1992, in Los Angeles, California. He grew up in a family of bodybuilders—his parents owned a hardcore Gold’s Gym and were competitors themselves. Bostin started training at age 14 and became one of the youngest to earn his IFBB pro card at 21.

He was famous for being super honest about using steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), something most bodybuilders keep secret. In 2013, he posted a YouTube video listing everything he was taking, which went viral and made him a big name.

“Sadly, he passed away on February 25, 2022, at just 29 years old. He left behind his wife, son, and a huge impact on the fitness world.”

His Bodybuilding Journey

Early Start

By age five, Bostin was already posing at shows because of his family’s gym background. He began serious training at 14 and competed in amateur shows as a teen in California. In his early 20s, he blew up—winning big contests and earning his pro card super fast.

The Whistleblower

That 2013 steroid video changed his career, turning him into a “whistleblower” who shared everything about PEDs, training, and the real side of bodybuilding. He started his brand, Team 3CC (named after a basic steroid cycle), sold apparel, and built a community.

The Education

Even after health scares, he kept educating people through videos, podcasts, and his forum. His story is told in videos and documentaries like “Get Big Or Die Trying.”

Competitions and Achievements

Bostin had some big wins early on. Here’s a quick list of his key competitions:

Training & Diet

Bostin trained hard with high-volume workouts: 4-5 days a week, 30+ sets per muscle group, mixing heavy compounds like squats and bench with isolation exercises. He did morning cardio even at his heaviest.

His diet was massive—6-8 meals a day with stuff like steak, rice, eggs, sweet potatoes, and shakes. He experimented with extreme weight loss too, like dropping 30 pounds in 9 days.

The Protocol

What made him stand out was his openness about PEDs. He shared cycles with high doses: things like 1,300mg testosterone a week, trenbolone, Deca, growth hormone (up to 7 IU/day), insulin, peptides, and even synthol for site enhancement.

Always consult a doctor—Bostin stressed responsibility.

His Wife – Ariella Palumbo

Ariella Giavanna Palumbo was Bostin’s wife, a competitive bikini athlete, and his business partner. They ran Team 3CC together, selling apparel and products. They had a son, Jaxtin, born in 2018.

Ariella competed in shows and supported Bostin’s career. After his passing, she keeps the brand and community going. She’s from Rhode Island and shares fitness tips online.

Community & Enhancement

TEAM 3CC Massage Oils

A safer topical alternative for recovery and muscle enhancement. Using pharmaceutical-grade MCT oil, B12, and D3. Massage into arms, calves, or shoulders for better pumps and fuller looks—without injections.

The Community Forum

A judgment-free space for real discussions on cycles, training logs, blood work, and questions. One of the most honest bodybuilding spots online, where thousands share experiences inspired by Bostin.

"Bostin showed the raw truth of bodybuilding—the gains, the risks, and everything in between."

Rest in Peace, Big Daddy B.
