You don’t need “science-based” lifting to build a lot of muscle. Train hard, eat right, sleep good, and you can build lots with or without PED’s
But picture someone who only lifts arms, or never lifts legs. How fucking very obviously weird it looks when someone has chicken legs, or little T-Rex arms, or a big chest and a tiny back, or vice-versa
That’s an extreme but between that and a fitness model is everyone else in the middle, a spectrum of lifters with different shaped bodies not defined as much by their genetics as their training
In order to be as aesthetic as possible (which for many is the goal, to look good), you have to hit as many little tiny heads on the muscle as possible. And often that requires some weird as shit movements you never even heard of
If you just stick to doing the same old shoulder press, bench press, squats and curls, sure you’ll look big and boxy. But your muscles won’t “pop” the way that the most aesthetic guys in the gym are. That’s not just PED’s….i mean yea it’s usually INVOLVING PED’s lol….but it’s because those freaks are sitting there for sometimes hours doing 10 different little movements to hit every single part of their shoulder muscle. The front, the tops, the sides, the back. Shit the back of shoulders is an area that is highly noticeable when it comes to what girls like seeing and is an area I would say like 80% of casual gym-go’ers NEVER hit. Not once in their entire lifting career. Because they don’t look up the science of what exercise hits what part of the muscle, and they keep doing their same old squats, bench, and military press
As the science gets upgraded, so do the standards. It isn’t enough to just lift, that’s not going to separate someone from other dudes in the girl’s eyes. They don’t need a lot of muscle, in fact there is a clearly defined “too much” for most women. But the more aesthetic they look, the more they will stand out, even if they only have a small but toned amount of muscle. If it’s shaped well, and it pops, it will look good and tend to draw more eyes
And I know this broscience guy despite his comedy knows and regularly employs far more different types of exercises than most casual lifters to look like he does. PED’s alone won’t give that to anyone. Lift shitty and take lots of PED’s and you’ll get big, and boxy, and kinda ugly
