I believe it. your body is very sensitive to drugs at a young age because the nervious system is still developing, and swlab is on tren I recall...forget about it. Hell I went from incline benching 175 to 3 reps to 225 for 15 reps in a one year period. My buddy was on the same drugs as me, he was older and MUCH stronger naturally but I responded to drugs better and got stronger than him- swalb doesnt seem like a cat to lie about his numbers- it's a bitch move to your iron brothers.
I'm not saying he is lying, I'm just interested in seeing his form. I see people in person claim all sorts of squat numbers but as soon as I see them do it, they go down 1/4 of the way. But who knows, maybe he is just really good at squats.
And I feel like nearly all my lifts have gone up a ton since a year and a half ago pre-steroids. The one lift that didn't change that much for me is squats. Sure it improved, but not like DB incline and flat presses have. Also, back pulldowns havent improved much either. It's weird, it all depends on the lift
