Yeah, you're right, I just don't know much about steroids and most of what I said comes from a few of the things that I've read online.You only blow up on hgh with insulin.
HGH is super effective because it completely alters your nutrition partitioning. It forces nutrients to be used to building muscle as opposed to fat storage. Insulin jams nutrients into them when combined with hgh.
The Truth About HGH for Weight Loss
The quest for a weight loss solution has some people taking human growth hormone (HGH) in pills, powders and injections. But does it really work?www.webmd.com
Interest in using HGH for weight loss stems from a 1990 New England Journal of Medicine study that showed injections of synthetic HGH resulted in 8.8% gain in muscle mass and 14% loss in body fat without any change in diet or exercise.
The truth is that the drugs react differently from person to person depending on genetics, and the difference is so big that only a very small minority of people have the genetics to become as big as the guys who win Mr Olympia. So for a normal person who has average genetics, even if they take HGH, they will never become as big as a pro bodybuilder who ranks high in Mr Olympia, because most people don't have the genetics for that.
And More Plates More Dates on youtube said that there is no such thing as too muscular for men when talking about what women are attracted to, which makes sense, it's kind of like how women will never say that a 6 foot 7 or a 7 foot tall man are too tall.
However, I believe that the difference in attractiveness between a skinny guy with no muscle at all and a muscular advanced natty guy who is close to his genetic limit is much bigger than the difference between that guy and a guy who is on high doses of steroids, when talking not about muscle size, but what women are attracted to.
So, to get the desired effect in looksmaxxing, you don't need high amounts of steroids to be gymmaxxed, but doing so would make you look more attractive, but the natty guy who trained near his genetic limit, he is also gymmaxxed so he will get similar benefits.
So steroids give faster and better results, at the cost of some side effects, while being natty gives slower and less results at no cost at all except time.
I believe that steroids can be worth it if you reach a high level of strength and muscle mass as a natural and you're not satisfied with your size. Because, apparently, it's possible to have bad genetics for natty training but good genetics for steroids, and you'll never know until you start using steroids. So, even someone who has a small frame or started as very skinny like me, could blow up and get huge muscles in a few cycles of steroids.
My main fitness goal is to get the look that AlphaDestiny had after around 2 years of training as a natural, which is not too far from how he looks like now. If I can achieve that naturally, then I believe that I won't need steroids. However, I am not sure if I can achieve a good physique naturally because even as my strength goes up, my chest, arms and legs remain the same size. The only muscles that I have managed to grow are the back and the shoulders, I guess I must have better genetics for those muscle groups because I didn't focus on them in my training and I didn't make more progress on them than on the others. My arms are still at 12 inches even though I can barbell curl 70 lbs for 6 reps and I doubt that my arms will be any different if I add 30-50 lbs to my curl, maybe I could add an inch or two, but I doubt I could add more. So either my genetics suck or my potential is so high that I am just at the beginning, which would explains why my muscles are so small in size, so that would mean that I would need to hit much higher strength standards, so maybe a 170-200 lb curl for 5 reps to get 16-17 inch arms. However, even then it doesn't make much sense because I am already at 41% of that potential, and I look like I curl 20 lbs, and my form is perfect, so I really don't get it.
