steroids just raise the bar on your potential on growing but it's not a fake muscle. Calf implants are fake muscles. would you like people to think you worked hard for them or admire calves you bought? God gave me my calves. They're 17.5 and I've never worked them in my life. it's funny because my arms are 15.25. i guess if i wanted to i could have 20 inch calves.
