you may be right here, but you are also comparing me and MisterMagoo to juiced up bodybuilders/strongmen who may grow no matter what they do or don't do
Most who attribute all the developmental differences to juicing really don't know, have no compelling basis of comparison for the assumptions. It's largely speculation, largely carried out by non-juicers who let's face it must be depressed to see huge disparities in development between themselves and others. Magoo's a good example, doesn't have a great physique then resorts to the "all drugs" crap as the excuse. Textbook
IMO the fundamentals of training do not change due to drugs, not at all. To make the jump in assumptions that all the fundamentals of training go out the window with/without drugs is silly. The idea that Coleman, Schwarzenegger or anyone else saw great development just looking at weights is farcical. In truth, they still develop for the same reasons anyone else does, but the development is accelerated and more pronounced, just as one would see in any number of fields with people who are more gifted.
Also, no one wants to admit that they may not really be training hard, or smart. Not everyone is equal, in terms of the determination to train really hard for years, or to train wisely. By training wisely I mean trying and then finding the most effective exercises. Close grips for example, do very little for some and lots for others. I find them useless.
ignore pumpster by the way. he's a keyboard warrior. he'll tell you about how he won bodybuilding competitions and powerlifting meets, but dodges and melts down whenever you challenge him to prove it.
Not a question of if but rather how far i'm now lodged in his lol the personal trolling from this angry dweeb is predictable but the funniest thing about this clown is that his pics don't prove that he knows much at all yet he's constantly talking out his ass. He's really convinced himself that he's wise well beyond his actual knowledge, that i'm sure of. I see nothing in his pics or his comments to suggest any depth of knowledge or any degree of hard work in the workouts-not an impressive physique.
