Guy A and Guy B both have similar, if not, identical genetics.
Guy A: takes steroids, GH, and insulin, trains like shit and subpar diet.
Guy B: 100% natural, trains hard, eats 8 meals per day.
Two questions:
1) who has the better chance of becoming huge and ripped?
2) who has the better chance of becoming an NPC level competitor or IFBB pro?
Easily A.
Circa 2013, I was hospitalized with a nasty case of diverticulitis. I went in at 243 (I think?); three weeks later, after earning myself a sweet colostomy bag that I had for the next six months, I think I was 205?
Anyhow, when I went in, I took 250 mg Test E once weekly. I was 35 at the time.
When I was discharged, I mostly ate ice cream, pudding and yogurt. I didn't lift a thing, but I kept doing the weekly 250 mg Test.
On my second check-up, maybe 10 weeks post surgery (? Eight? Six? I dunno), I saw my surgeon wearing a tight Polo. I was back up to 225 and had not fattened up. I also hadn't lifted anything heavier than a spoon in that time. He was shocked at how I looked.
Granted, I had trained for twenty years, most of those natty. But the drugs are VERY powerful, indeed. These "hur finishing touch der hur!" guys are kidding themselves. It's a rare, precious few who use intelligently and aren't "all drugs"; e.g., Wes, Coach, Pellius, Go4it and tres taco.
