Disco stu, Nash , forillagorilla, and falco are dead on. They're also voices of experience. . People posting pics of dillet, have you ever competed. It's not just that he stopped using drugs. He also stopped training, was sick, and stopped eating insane food intakes. .. drugs just finish, not build....
This isn't to offend those that think different. Yet just to be a voice of experience. You build by hard work. Drugs are the top off.
Don't believe the all drugs comment. You can build a great physique without... drugs are the add on after you peak. Thousands of kids start juicing right away... and how do they look???
This is a marathon, not a sprint
Yes you build with hard work, but those using often continue to work harder and harder because of the results of drugs.
Without the drugs the consistency in training and the level of over all effort decreases because the much faster gains aren't there. I love the weights, but my passion isn't quit there like it was in my obsession years in my 20s.
Try training consistently for decades with no "boost" and see if the hard work ethic persists. Most quit when the juice is gone.
You can look at examples of members on this board that always trained naturally or used a little years and years ago. Then they came into money, received some drug guidance, tried a new stack of something and suddenly they're responding to the weights like never before, training 7 days a week, training as hard as they can, posting pics every 6-8 hours, they're bold and cocky like never before and they preach against virtually everything non-bodybuilding.
I'm sorry, but PEDs are WAAAAAY more than the finishing touch.
