Is it just me but does this feel like a Saturday level puzzle? Maybe it's because I have not seen wicked, but many of these hints felt more like a stretch, especially the bottom part of the puzzle, one to mention would be Words after "ding, ding, ding" TOAST seems to be too much of a stretch for a Thursday puzzle.

This is a great puzzle, but it is not a great Monday puzzle. It would feel more fitting for a Tuesday or a Wednesday.

I did not enjoy this puzzle. I was expecting the difficulty that came from a tuesday, not what felt like a thursday. I have struggled less on some saturday puzzles.

For 24 across, PEDs or Performance Enhancing Drugs, is the formal term for anabolic steroids. A more informal term for them would be gear or juice.

A refreshing Monday puzzle doing exactly what got me into this in the first place, a fun puzzle that feels well written. Keep up the good work!

Enjoyable puzzle, but definitely felt like a Wednesday puzzle with some of these clues.
