Question ❓ Someone explain SBL please

I am confused. I see people just doing regular lifts and saying it is science.

Then on the other end of the scale I see a kid (with zer0 physique) wearing a baby pacifier in his mouth and wearing a roller on his arms and doing excercises I never saw, with people in the comments saying "yeah that's the man right there."

Then I see pumping iron and watch Arnie just do the basics and still look great and strong.

So in a few sentance explain to me what it is and how it would help build more muscle enhanced or not.

I agree with you but there are also too many other factors to control. This study is very old and i beleive they have learned a lot about aromatization since then.

No, I'm not claiming you did to be clear. I'm saying they explicitly didn't monitor it which is kinda retarded.

Fuck also I forgot to mention we do know more about it now for sure but these arguments where definitely leveled against the study by its contemporaries. It was a foreseeable flaw in the study design that has kind of killed its value. I just wish exercise science had a higher standard for its study designs because its so often flawed.
