I have infinitely more respect for people on gear who waited til they were ~25, close to their genetic walls, and got blood work done than most "natural" athletes

fake natty is so harmful to teens

      Like how Chris Hemsworth (and most of Hollywood) is adamant that he doesn't take any kind of juice, when this is obviously untrue. This body type is unobtainable naturally for the vast majority of people. In turn this leads people, especially teenagers who just aren't seeing those kinds of results no matter the effort they put in, to turn to gear to get that fit. It's harmful, I have a lot more respect for those who do use steroids and SARMs who are open about them and don't advocate for their use but instead teach harm reduction

          Yeah, me and my buddies are into fitness and I'm glad I'm bulky, it's so much easier to cut than to put on mass. Like I have a ridiculous appetite and I put on size easily, it takes drinking egg whites with chocolate protein powder (not bad actually) for them to put on mass like I do from just eating. It's ridiculous that the only representation of "attractiveness" is literally just oh hey have a millionaire budget to spend on doctors dietitians and drugs and then workout
