do steroids just accelerate the process of building muscles or will it make you achieve something that is impossible to achieve naturally?

Hint: I know how bad they are but I just wanna know more 🙂

Answer 1

Steroids will not *necessarily* make someone larger than they could be naturally, but they will reach it faster. And they are the only way people can surpass a pretty fixed amount of lean mass for height. This is ~ 5’10″/210lbs / 10% body fat, with weight scaling 5lbs per inch in either direction.

It’s also extremely hard to maintain muscle mass as you reduce your body fat to 10% or below, as millions of years of evolution think this is dumb. Steroids make this *much* easier.

So someone who is at or above that ratio is almost certainly on steroids.
