IMO real issue is fitness influencers stuck with "selling motivation to work hard to look like them", when reality is 99.99% of becoming top 0.01% is being born with top 0.01% genetics. Legal sups will give maybe 2% boost, illegal sups 20% which still makes "working hard" kind of a vapid marketting gimmick for most folks simply not born in the right region of the bell curve. I do think a lot of new lifters think work ethic + a few pills will get them influencer bodies / huge lifts. Strength training is a highly individual activity, largely done in commercial gyms where doing the activity somewhat diligently seems to bring big results relative to gen pop. But step into an athletic gym, or play a team sport at competitve level and it quickly becomes obvious that some individuals are just genetic phenomes, ultimately they're the ones that make it to top level, especially in something as genetically predisposed as growing lean mass or static strength, and no amount of hard work or drugs will even the playing field. But most novice to intermediate lifters and bodybuilders don't get this epiphany stuck lifting in commercial gyms. Like most people probably intuitively understand they can't simply train to sprint remotely on the same level as Bolt. But many gymbros think they can simply train to have the equivalent body or strength of influencers (many of whom are also just genetically blessed) when it was simply never in the cards. TBF the bodybuilding community seems to be much better at nattyornot conversations in the last few years. Strength community also improving simply because numbers have gotten so big as popularity unearthed 0.01% talent that 5plate folks aspiring for previously 6plate world record recognize that, no, they'll never come close to pulling 7 plates. At this point even women's record are becoming untouchable to most men hovering in the middle of the genetic bell curve.
