Wanted to make this post since I'm a representative of the manlet federation.
If you're 5'7-5'9 and you're falling for the "dont take peds you'll look like a stubby tryhard" that goes around here, I'm here to tell you there's truth to it but there is a way to effectively use while increasing appeal.
The strategy is to not increase your ffmi by a significant amount and stay within a certain bf range, like 9-14%. The tryhard allegations come from anecdotes like the tren twins for example, who are like 5'6 and 180-195, their 220 claim is obvious larp but we don't have to argue about that. Their ffmis are in the 25+ range, very unappealing. Just lol.
Now take physiques like canelo 5'7ish, zac efron 5'8ish, illia topuria 5'7. Zac efron is probably the only one on cycle in these pictures but the other two (like all good combat fighters) but the process in which combat athletes cut weight is similiar to how certain sarm/steroids keep you dry while on cycle in terms of the aesthetic. All 5 are below 25 FFMI and clearly have more muscle mass than the average gym goer. Having a build that looks like you're capable of inducing violence while also not looking like a roided bodybuilder is the goal, and that's pretty much reaching 23-24 FFMI while staying under 15-16% bf.
The caveat is they all have decent+ frames, if you don't have that as a prerequisite it might be cooked for you.
Now I'm not going to get into the science behind steroids or sarms since you can easily find that in another post but I have a few options in mind.
1) Ostarine
2) Test and var
3) Test and masteron
Do your research, and an important reminder is to be an empiricist and to try out things and if it doesn't work for you just move onto something else
