Based on some reading into people using steroid without exercising, steroid seem like they would add more muscle in response to the mechanical stresses of an ordinary life.
I would agree with this actually - I should have qualified my earlier statement. It would be more accurate to say that without an additional stress source or training stimulus these adaptations to daily stresses would be so negligible it might not even be noticed depending on how overweight a person is, and in the context of untrained people I would suspect a lot of these aspects of AAS would probably be more noticeable in a leaner person (for example: glycogen supercompensation would probably be more apparent if someone is lean than overweight).
I have no problems with someone cycling at high bf%, hell I wouldn't even have a problem with an overweight person using steroids if he is training and dieting and has prior experience in all these areas or has a trainer / nutritionist / coach etc and is being monitored for lft's, bp, lipids, etc by a medical doctor.
But there are a lot of concerns like you said in over-weight persons. Lipids and BP, and medicating just to handle the steroids isn't ideal when at that point even just running or riding a bike and making changes to dietary habits would facilitate more dramatic changes to their appearance.
I'm just posting here to add some value to a troll thread, we're turning it into something worthwhile atleast lol.
