If you think that has the “look” of drugs you really don’t have any idea man. Have you ever really used - ever competed?
I have a nephew that trains and he is as lean as that cat and from the pics I’d say my nephew is bigger and I know for a fact that the kid has never used anything - not even OTC stuff.
Absolutely ANYONE can be ripped and have the kind of muscle in that pic. To say it’s drugs is an easy way to be lazy and have an excuse.
It’s part of the problem with the United States - men need to take responsibility. If a man looks like Shizzo for instance - that’s just result of being a morbidly obese, lazy, twinkle toed fatty fat fat.
I have used PEDs for about 28 years, not many breaks at all. From 200mg like now to 4+ gram stuff. Competitive aspirations got cut short early on due to detachning both pecs.
But like I said: it is not the size. It is not the BF %. It's the totality, the androgenic look. Most of the time you can tell if someone is on androgens just by seeing their face. It sound ridiculous to many but it's true.
I don't think you nephew has this look if he is clean. You could post the pics and blur the face. Would be an interesting case study, but I understand if you don't want to.
It has nothing to do with excuses, it has to do with what you think is real. Not everyone can achieve this look clean, absolutely not. Post ONE pic from the presteroid era that shows this type of shoulder widening and face changing effect from working out.
The reason I debate this at all is that it fascinates me how even some experienced guys are totally blind to certain things. There are guys who actually think Mike O'Hearn might be lifetime natural. There are experienced guys who absolutely can't see if someone has used Synthol or other SEOs.
If anyone is interested in this type of thing there was this thread on another forum on SEO use. My username: killerstack. A few thought I was right, it was obvious. Many others could't see shit lol. He has blasted his arms with brutal training so of course it might look like Synthol

Of course Dusty eventually came on and confirmed he had done lots of site injecting.

Another of my close friends is not a bodybuilder but was a top ranked cyclist. We trained together constantly and I mentored him in his early days.
He decided he wanted to get stronger legs so one winter he went to Bally's gym and did nothing but leg extensions (high reps, 20-50 per set) for an hour at a time, He was just nuts as the gym owner told him
When we started riding together in the spring I swear to god he must have put 4" on his quads. They were enormous. Anyone on here who saw the before and after pics would say "drugs" but I know the kid very well. He didn't put on muscle mass anywhere else- just his quads. They literally looked like they were inflated.
This is not the first time I have seen this with cyclists. Guys who do many high reps sets or multiple 30-45 second intervals for their legs get huge. Is it sarcoplasmic hypertrophy? Maybe. But it works, and not a nanogram of exogenous hormones is required.
If people do enough high rep sets they get that puffy look we associate with drugs and water retention. And yet they get lean from the workload. I've seen it time and time again.
Puffy watery look is the opposite of what I mean with the androgenic look. It's a hardening effect even if bodyfat actually went up. Drugs change the skin texture ever so slightly. Then you have an abnormal type of vascularity that only comes from drugs.
Robert Forsteman isn't actually a "big" dude, I'm sure there are naturals with more muscle on their legs. But do you think Forsteman is natural?
I think the second guy is someone else but he came up on a image search.
