Philosophical Bodybuilding Question
« on: March 29, 2025, 03:54:34 AM »
Without considering financial aspects, is it better to:

1) Take low doses or TRT year round, and hover around 10-15% bodyfat with 18" arms for one's entire adult life?

2) Megadose and inflate/deflate, so that you have 22" arms at 6% bodyfat sometimes, but shrink down to 14.5" arms and 18% bodyfat at other times?

I think that the former is healthier both physically and psychologically.

Pic related.

I don't think that it's "sustainable" and I mean that literally.  22" muscular arms are harder for the body to support and sustain than 22" arms of blubber.  Eventually you shrink because the drugs become too much, or your heart/kidneys decide to throw in the towel, and then you end up with 14" arms and a dialysis appointment.

Grow up mentally.

Be natty and don't use drugs period.

That's what is smart.
