. I literally don't give a fuck what people are on or even if they are on anything at all
you don't care because you are on... people who aren't taking might care
ps, how could you "literally" give a fuck about it?? who would you give it to?

I'm not debating whether or not other people care about it, clearly they do
I've never cared about it, it's stupid and you're just justifying your own failures
My bench sucks because I don't put enough effort into it, it's this simple, it's not drugs or mechanics or genetics it's work ethic
But some people have a real issue figuring this out
It's genetics
You can't out drug your biology
same as you can't out-drug your maximum genetic muscle mass?
or was 0ni arguing that formula was for natural lifters only???
Get on the gear for 80kg bench.
So what happens when you stall at probably not much more than that.
tests are easy to beat
I find it hilarious how 99% of amateur competitors manage to be well above the average limit of muscle mass you can hold. Just how many genetic outliers are there?
There were a number of studies done in the pre-steroid era thankfully!
Of course they will put it down to stuff like "better training, supplements, biology knowledge, better genetics" or some shit. Which is why people now are stronger than they've ever been right? Oh no, we are weaker... lol

inb4 someone chimes in on how they are 180cm and 100kg with their "abs showing in the morning", read the fucking paper properly before you make an idiot of yourself
I was quite the PED abuser when I competed in cycling!
Besides I've not given any advice lol. My body building advice is "get stronger with reps" which is still something a few people don't figure out somehow lol. "Nah bro, strength is just a side effect from sculpting my pecs, the fact my bench increased from 10x100kg to 1x140kg and I gained 20kg is beside the point, it was ALL the sculpting routine"
.yeah sorry meant 10x140 lol
Funny shit, I'm 30 years older, never touched any gear or even supplements and still out bench a young gear head in the prime of his life
probably because people who are using, and lie about it, and then say that they don7t help, and you could do the same naturally..
0ni seemed to be saying that drugged and drug free lifters can lift the same amount of weight, if they do the same amount of work..
the thread is about whether steroids give you strength gain, either for a specific muscle mass, or by increasing muscle mass greater than could be achieved naturally...
seems odd to say they do not make any difference over a drug free lifter??
0ni doesn7t care because he's been taking drugs to cheat at sports since he was a teenager
Natural limits being the amount of protein your body can synthesize for muscle maintenance. I've used steroids to get stronger, build muscle and train harder than I would ever have been able to off the gear, but I am still well within my body's natural limits of maintaining muscle mass. Ronnie Coleman got to about 220lbs ripped without gear iirc. Now if he had a twin that used roids to get to say 200lbs, it would have been within the bodies limit of protein synthesis for maintaining and building muscle so after coming off the gear he would have been able to maintain that muscle for as long as his body was producing natural testosterone and he kept his diet and training up and even be able to increase his mass further without steroids.
However, many people will do a cycle or two then shrink back down afterward. I think this is because their body simply isn't used to having that much mass 'naturally' because their body never gets to improve it's own natural rate of protein synthesis. So all in all it's how you take your steroids. I am a strong believer that people who want to stay on the drugs long term to do 8 weeks on, 2 weeks PCT, 8 weeks on, 2 weeks PCT etc this way you never shrink down, your body gets used to having a lot of mass and increases it's efficiency of protein synthesis for maintaining muscle mass and your HPTA always stays in check
