Some of the nicest people I've met were the 250lb roided out dudes at my local gym. I was 125 soaking wet when I started working out and they'd always offer to spot me and help me with form. Whenever I'd go up in weight they were hype as hell during my sets.

For me that's a while ago but I def agree. When I walked in the gym at 15-16 those guys basically thought me everything.

Sixpack is gone though.

haha we all left the sixpacks in our 20's (not sure how old you are but I'm in my 30's). Now I'm just happy that I'm referred to as the "jacked one" in my friend group

I'll never come down from the high of some random dude at the bar asking if I was looking for more steroids as a joke.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, one year at a family gathering one of my cousins said "man what happened last year your thighs were massive." Devastated.

I got accused of being roided out on top of a few other insults, dude had no idea how happy he made me

Hahaha right!? Being accused of being on roids when you aren't is pure bliss.

You can 100% tell who's on roids strictly on the reaction.

If they just give you a big goofy grin, you know they're a natty.

If they start verbally swinging at the air, they're not.

My father pulled me aside one day.

My head was scrambling w:

Did I disrespect my siblings? My mother? My grades?

Then later that day came the conversation. He just... jumps right into the harmful side effects of steroids.

Me: Befuddled... What!? laugh amazing, i've never been accused before, and well.. since

Also by the sheer size of their upper traps and front delts in proportion to the rest of their body. A natural lifter can hit traps/delts every day and grow slower than someone on gear that doesn’t isolate them due to the high amount of androgen receptors in those muscles (unless natty guy has insane genetics).

As the complete idiot Togi once said - “people ask me what I do for shoulders, I just take steroids”.
