- solumunus 3y agoThere are plenty of people on steroids who don't get impressive results, you will find dozens in your local gym. To be truly impressive you need a combination of steroids, hard work and excellent genetics.
- ilikecakeandpie 3y agoSteroids give you an edge, but they don't make you go to the gym and put in the work
- penjelly 3y agoits way more than an edge imo. You get bigger/stronger faster, regenerate faster, have more libido and energy. All of those affect ones motivation to workout
- AtlasBarfed 3y agoIt gives you 10-25% advantage. That is not an "edge". An "edge" IMO is something that gets you a 1% advantage ... maybe ... at the top end of competition. The problematic aspects if PEDs isn't that they are a minor advantage. A 10% advantage in top athletics is game over for non-PED users. Steroids are mostly equivalent to EPO in terms of advantage it provides to top end competition: as in there isn't one. If the next 1000 athletes in ability dope with steroids (fast twitch) or EPO (slow twitch) but the top naturally gifted athlete doesn't, guess what rank he'll be in the world? Probably in the 100-200 range, fighting to barely stay in the top pro ranks. If the PED gives your competitors a 20% advantage? Maybe you're an ok starter in Division 1 NCAA or a second-tier pro league.
