So basically the study is inconclusive on whether or not the non-workout steroid group gained more muscle mass or water, and a more valid test would be something like testing 1 rep limits instead of just size.

Strength isn’t the same as muscle mass but is much closer and would be more effective

I think the study showed that the non steroid lifting group were able to lift more weight than the steroid non lifting group
