    I’ve watched Pumping Iron as much as a straight man can but we both know we can’t sustain that amount of growth without some PEDs

      I mean; you’re right, they’re probably taking some kind of supplements and are on a very regimented diet

      Obviously we don’t need to be in the same caliber or grade as them, it’s more to do with the general attitude or headspace they’re in

      I don’t think fitness should be competitive, other than with oneself, and those small lifestyle changes amount to being able to sustain said athletic lifestyle late into life
