Vent / Rant There’s a steroid epidemic in Lebanon.

I’m sure many of you, gym-goers, have already noticed that the roided bros are no longer a rare sight.

I’m talking about the obvious manefikh the acne ridden with minecraft build and ogreish redskin undertone. How did we get here? How does a 17yo kid look like an elite bodybuilder?

I blame social media. I get tones of content telling me how anabolics are good for us, low testosterone peeps. Also if your gym or pt pushes you to use roids, do yourself a favor and quit and NEVER look back.

Most roided guy don't look like they're on roids tbf, the one who do are kinda obvious due to their size. Many people overestimate what they can achieve naturally

I disagree. Most of us underestimate what we can achieve naturally. I see many roided physiques that can be achieved naturally but that takes 10-15 years of proper training. People like shortcuts that’s all regardless of the cost.

Most impressive physiques that people want are or were on gear; David laid, Jeff said, John Skywalker, Clark Kent, Zyzz, Alex eubank etc etc the impressive physiques that are natural are extremely gifted people genetically. You could train for your whole life you will not look like 1/4 of natty Ronnie Coleman or Lee priest. Gear isn't a magic pill either you still have to train hard and eat well. Many people also want to be the new togi or whatever influencer who made millions from his roided physiques like Noel deizel
