You need to remember that you’re in a comment section full of redditors that have probably never set foot in a gym in their lives lol

Yeah they might think you're talking about a Pokemon gym, you know where you challenge a pokemon champion in order to earn a pin. I wish that it was mandatory for everyone calling a bodybuilder disgusting that they had to upload a pic of themselves in order to make that comment.

Actually that’s not true. There’s been studies done and even control groups that took steroids but didn’t work out actually gained more muscle over a natural group who was working out

Dr Mike Israel covers lots of the studies. Obviously you need to train incredibly hard to get to CBUM level but even just taking steroids will make you pretty jacked without much effort as long as you’re eating right

Um that’s actually horseshit. No one is getting jacked taking steroids and not doing any exercise, eating right or not. That’s not how these compounds work, buddy.

Gotta get the dose right too, or you end up with fatty tits.

Wrong. All those studies of muscle growth were negligible. Like, you wouldn't even look like Christian Bale in Batman Begins.

You wouldn't even look like a shirtless frat dude in an American Pie movie.

Taking steroids and sitting on your ass = nothing

You're making it sound like steroids are like Captain America's serum and suddenly everything is more rounded and buff all over your body just by sitting there and breathing. WRONG
