Squats make your upper body grow.
You can get a "six pack" by doing sit-ups/ab work
You can retain some of the muscle/strength you gained on steroids if you train hard after stopping the drugs.
Getting a good "pump" during a work-out means you are training effectively.
A pro bodybuilder who built his physique with drugs is more knowledgeable than a natural who built lots of muscle drug-free.
A bodybuilder/lifter needs more protein than the average Man.
This is comical.
You think you have learned something, but you are buying into very stupid claims.
Let me explain.
Squats do increase strength in the whole back, would you agree that the back is part of the upper body?
Because, it is, unless you are of the knuckle dragging species.
You can get a six pack by training abs, what muscles are trained when you train the abs?
Yes, the abs. Untrained abs will be smaller and less likely press through fat layers.
Thick abs will show even at higher body fat levels, compared to untrained abs.
You can retain a small bit.
Especially if you don't rely on drugs and only run moderate cycles. Ask around, i am not sure whether you have trained long enough or at all to know this.
Are you saying a training without a pump will be just as good as one with a pump?
Do you realize one big difference of natural to steroids user is the pump and all the associated benefits which come with it?
First, there is no natural with "lots" of muscle.
There is only people who lie and people who look "lot" of muscle when covered in 4 sweaters to the newcomers blind eyes ( like yours ).
The bigger guy obviously knows how he got there, it doesn't matter how he's done it, because the smaller guy cannot know, as he never "walked in the bigger guys shoes".
Even a marathon runner needs more protein than a non sporty person.
Weight lifters have higher protein requirements than non trainees, this is not up to negotiation, this has been scientifically proven and been peer reviewed over and over.
If you can prove otherwise, i suggest you go collect your nobel prize.
Are you a scientist?
Do you even lift?
