People often have misconceptions about PED’s. They think “well I can just take PED’s and be as big as I want to be” and that’s completely true…in a sense. They just don’t understand that PED’s are not a binary 0-1 choice, they’re a spectrum

One on side you have natural, no assistance, where gains will require the most perfect effort - perfect training, perfect diet, perfect sleep, etc

And then you have the other side, and how far on the other side depends on what you take and at what doseage. Some people take very little and so everything else needs to be close to perfect. And some people take a lot and then it doesn’t matter how badly or rarely they train, how they eat, or whether or not they sleep. With enough drugs someone can literally put on 10lbs of muscle in a month with 1x/week training and terrible diet

What more people should realize is yes while that’s possible to compensate with huge amounts of drugs, those drugs will take a HUGE toll on their health, sometimes IMMEDIATELY. And if not immediate, then very soon. So once they almost have a heart attack, or are completely impotent with erectile dysfunction, or their liver is seriously damaged, then they go oh shit and stop. And when you stop for whatever reason, you lose like 95% of the gains. They will melt off like butter within a few weeks to a month

So you trashed your health for what? Gains you can’t keep without literally killing yourself? So this idea of “well I can just take drugs and look like The Rock” is false for the long term. You might be able to get there, but it’s unlikely you can stay there

Because I take the bare minimum of assistance, I have to be close to perfect on most things like a natural. My training is pretty nuts, diet is just decent, and sleep is poor. But I don’t have to worry about trashing my health or losing gains. So I think this way is ideal

Does that apply if you get the T-HRT?
