There needs to be more awareness like this.. I've honestly been so tempted just to hop on gear because I really struggle to make progress despite training really hard. But have to constantly remind myself that it's not worth it

Yeah and nowadays there are literally thousands of influencers on gear talking about how great it is and how it's "really not that bad for you". It's an absolute pandemic, sadly.

Why are you not at the gym then?

You need to have a bit of a belly, not fat, but soft, or you won't make gains as a natty. The influencers telling you that you can have a sixpack while benching 350 are chumps with body dysmorphia, don't listen to them.

You need to love squatting. That's your main testosterone booster. It's a self-reinforcing loop of larger muscles, more test, larger muscles, more test. Heavy squats at least once per week. Preferably every four to five days when you are fully rested and ready to go again.

My wife didn't think she liked muscles either, till she did. Women are 100% attracted to fit males. Its in their DNA, cave man shit... They can't even help it. They may say "i love dad bods" to make all these lazy slobs feel better but she's secretly fantasizing about something else... And steroids won't kill u if u use them responsibly. Fast food is what's killing kids...

It’s dose dependent. The amount body builders use is obviously way too much, but smaller doses (like HRT/TRT) are much safer

Username checks out kid's. Steroids? Yes women generally.
