I've been natty for years , and I've been on gear for years . I can say that anytime I'm running a cycle I'm working a hell of a lot harder or at least as hard as my natty self.

why assume that a natural lifter somehow works harder ? why assume that an enhanced lifter is taking short cuts and does not have a hard working mind set then a natural lifter ?

my thoughts are guys like Branch Warren (who use AAS), an IFBB pro, probably has worked harder throughout his career then most any all natural Pro . just an opinion.

besides, running heavy ass ASS cycles is hard damn work in and of itself . not being able to sleep , tren insomnia and night sweats, getting tired walking up one flight of stairs, being hot and sweating all the time, being anabolic and anxious all the time , thats some pain in the ass hard shit that natties never have to deal with
add on top of that the 20 injections per week, staying on top of your dosages, ancillaries, and studying all the time to make sure you know your doing shit right in regards to AAS . its hard work.

natties just train, count their macros, and thats about it. a lot more work goes into being enhanced. its the difference like maintaining a ford focus compared to a formula one race car (a lot more work goes into maintenance on the race car)
I agree with GH on this one 100%


The single biggest positive effect that AAS allows a person IS to train HARDER than anyone could naturally. AAS stimulates the body and all its mechanism to allow for maximum recovery.

A person on can physically train harder for longer, more frequently than someone who isn’t. It’s a matter of scientific enhancement. AAS major effect is to promote recovery from a workout more fully between workout bouts. Very very few natural lifters could hang with that recovery ability vs an AAS user. Sure there might be an extreme exception to the rule like Mike Oheern but in reality, the exemption is not the rule.
