I've been reading a lot of discussions where people say testosterone is the base of almost every cycle. Others say beginners obsess over it too much and should focus on training and nutrition instead. Curious what everyone's take is. Is testosterone really as important as people make it out to be or has social media exaggerated its role?
It's probably the most talked about compound because it's so well known but people often underestimate the potential health trade offs that come with using anabolic steroids.
Whether someone chooses to use PEDs or not, sleep, progressive overload and diet still determine most of the long-term progress.
Social media tends to show dramatic before and after photos without showing everything else that contributed to those results like training experience and nutrition.
Interesting discussion It seems the biggest takeaway is that no drug replaces consistent work and anyone considering PEDs should understand both the potential benefits and the significant risks rather than relying on internet hype.
