People typically know this, but the social script is to ignore and deflect because we're culturally invested in the story of transformation through personal virtue. It's like pointing out that Santa Claus isn't real.
- FredPret 2y agoYou can still have transformation through personal virtue, just read the comments above. You just can't have the same magnitude of results without the steroids.

Obviously the dedicated lifter on steroids will have the biggest gains, but it is a situation where anyone can get jacked by merely injecting themselves with stuff and not having an ounce of dedication.
