Fitness influencer Vladislava Galagan rose to prominence last year. Galagan took fitness social media by storm with her impressive physique. However, her fame skyrocketed when fans noticed that the bodybuilding content creator looked like Kendall Jenner. Since then, Vladislava Galagan’s social media fame has shown no signs of slowing down, as she currently has 1.7 million followers on Instagram.

Recently, she appeared on fellow bodybuilder and fitness influencer Mike Thustron’s podcast, First Things THRST. However, besides discussing her fame, the duo also discussed Galagan’s experience with steroid use. While explaining her use of Performance-enhancing Drugs, she explained one of its worst side effects.

The fitness influencer had a drastic side effect

The host asked about what side effects Galagan faced because she started using steroids in her early 20s. The Kendall Jenner of bodybuilding explained that she experienced a severe acne breakout. While the influencer said she was already prone to acne, things got worse when she started losing hair. “The worst in my opinion was hair loss,” said Galagan.

“It took me four years to grow it back,” the bodybuilder told Mike Thurston. The host probed further asking if Galagan had lost hair “from everywhere.” However, the Russian explained she lost about 50% of the hair on her head. While the fitness influencer had long hair before hopping on steroids, the hair she regained after four years didn’t grow that long.

Despite the terrible side-effect, Vladislava Galagan immediately noticed strength gains. “Did you get jacked though?” asked Thurston. “I was doing 90 kilos (148 lbs) chest press,” for six reps said the bodybuilder and claimed she could press 220 lbs for one rep, effortlessly. Galagan also said she was a rookie lifter when she hopped on PEDs. Galagan also said she experienced “the fastest growth” during that period. However, it was Galagan’s coach who told her to steroids to compete.

Vladislava Galagan’s first bodybuilding contest

While Galagan’s coach had told her to take PEDs for her first bodybuilding competition, he abandoned the athlete at the 11th hour. The fitness influencer told Mike Thruston that in the days leading up to the show she attempted to contact her coach for diet advice. However, her coach stopped responding. Galagan later learned that the man “was in Spain.”

However, trying to get shredded before the show as a rookie resulted in disaster. Galagan said she lost most of her gains, and the judges didn’t even let her compete. Finally, one of the judges approached her and told her about other, more responsible coaches. The fitness influencer immediately switched coaches.

While Valdislava Galagan gained a lot of strength and muscle after her first steroid cycle, she also suffered multiple side effects.
