I was reading your post and agreeing with everything until you mentioned Ronnie and Shawn Ray. The “natural” Ronnie you mention bigger than Bostin Lloyd was on hefty dosages for ages, he played football in his younger years, do I need to say more?
Same for Shawn Ray, and even that “natural” 19 year old lee priest that was juiced out of his fucking skull.
That being said, would people look like them on the same amounts?
Never.
It’s not about achieving their development, anyone can achieve that on the same dosages if training and diet are on point, it’s about the way they look, and that is where I agree with you on the Bostin Lloyd part.
He takes all that shit and he looks like shit, he just wasn’t born for it.
But the norm here and in other forums seems to be preaching that “most pros that I know take less than 2 grams of gear”, I don’t know if it’s just plain ignorance and stupidity, an attempt at harm reduction, or just discouraging people to push their own agenda, but it gets fucking exhausting and offensive to my intellect seeing shit like that everywhere.
