The Y chromosome flips many gene switches that give the male body the green light to build more infrastructure much better suited at producing growth hormones and protein synthesis for muscle growth, like more testosterone & amino acid reserves. It’s like building a town. Not only are there more workers, there’s more high quality building materials, more factories producing the materials, and more government subsidisation available. An important thing to note is not only do males gain more muscle, the muscle is stronger pound for pound. This translates to around 150% to 200% the strength.
Steroids and testosterone supplements are like a cheap property developer taking shortcuts to build a very flimsy town. Sure it might look like the real deal if you squint real hard, but it all falls apart pretty fast.
