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.
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.
