So many people have it in their heads that steroids do the work for you. The easiest way to explain it to average people is "They dont make gaining muscle easier, they just reduce the amount of time it takes. You can get 10 years of HARD lifting worth of results in 2 or 3 years of HARD lifting but you still have to do the hard lifting.
Still need to rip the muscle fibers for the steroids to build them back bigger
No, steroids will increase muscle mass from doing nothing, it's just not nearly as much as if you put the work in.
Yes its technically incorrect but it tends to make more sense to people who just assume that simply being on the juice will get you looking like Reacher in 6 months.
Yup. Knew a guy who went to the gym three times a week and blew up like a meatball in 4 months
