That super ripped dude at the gym is on steroids too, so it’s unfair to compare oneself to him.
True, but it’s also good to not get carried away with assuming people are on steroids.
If they have actual indicators of steroid usage then fair enough, but otherwise it could just be years of consistent hard work and good genetics.
Usually you just need to look at the traps to tell tho 🤣
Fair enough, but it’s also important to note that 15-30% of gym goers are using them. If you don’t look like the top guy at the gym, there might be a reason, and you might be among the fittest clean gainers there.
