If steroids don't replace hard work then why are known steroid users so reluctant to acknowledge the use of steroids? See above for example. There's plenty more examples online. I'm not judging BUT I'm just more bothered by the glossing over of obvious/blatant steroid use.

Steroids absolutely won't replace good training and diet. Studies show that over a period (6 weeks?), men gained more muscle on steroids and not working out than those who worked out clean.

However, factor in that steroids bring unwanted side effects and you'll start needing more and more drugs to keep up. Anti estrogens, diuretics, PCT, fat burners etc.

You can make incredible gains without drugs that will surpass drugs alone. However, there is no denying that (intelligently) adding drugs to a training regime will drastically increase performance.

Mark Bell has openly admitted taking steroids or ped in the past in an interview with Omar isuf. Look it up on you tube. He's also been training for ever so it's not like he took roids and *poof* got swole jacked and started lifting serious weights.

That's my point. I know Mark Bell has openly admitted to using and I know he puts in the work. It's just that you'll see posts like "here's what I'm lifting", "look at this insane training schedule", "here's what I'm eating for lunch" and I'm not discounting those things, as they're all key elements but surely so is whatever course they're running? That's not specifically just aimed at Mark Bell btw, he's just an example.

No problem. I see what you are saying and I agree with you.

I'd just like to stress that I genuinely have no problem with PED use regardless of how any of my posts came across. Articulation on the internet isn't a strong point.

I wish all the hard bodies on social media and tv would admit it. Same as women getting a butt lift and saying it is from diets or squats but there are never any serious gym pics or gym time shown. Just POOF I got a fatty by dieting, the fat just shifted to my ass all on it's own

But... But... What about their 15 second training montages on Instagram?

Not my best thread title if I'm honest. Just putting that out there.

Whenever I see "Female Social Media Fitness People", the word I usually associate with them is "escort".

I'm not on anything but my trt 100 mgs a week of test cyp. I have no issues with gear in fact Iove what it can do but I also love what I have achieved without it. Much different feeling of accomplishment.
