Thought it was for a saline IV? Anyways at some point you have to get off of the tech.

i've known guys that have taken stuff in the past and kept alot of the gains even after being clean for a long period of time

the lasting effects are definitely real

add to that good genetics and you can see what is possible while being 'clean' ... or maybe it really just is elite natural genetics, who knows

This is the most important point that not many people bring up

They're not bodybuilders/fitness models

Their training is like 90%endurance based

ZERO chance they are natty

They obviously have god tier genetics as well though (especially Romero)

yoel was trained by the cuban government to become an olympic wrestler since he was like 8

no doubt he was getting a constant supply of the most cutting edge Flintstones vitamins

wouldn't be surprised if they're still hooking him up with some undetectable olympic-level ****

he also has 99.999999 percentile genetics

That's exactly what happens. Your test starts going down in your 30s. No one continues to make gains for 20+ years as a natty. At some point, you're fighting against time to just maintain, and after that you're just trying to slow the deterioration process.

You make it sounds like the guys is going to wither away with age. He will still look like he lifts if he built a solid foundation. Plus 40 isn't even old. Maybe if hes 60 and he starts looking like that.

40 is old brah. You hit the wrong side of 35 and fat levels creep up FAST. By the time 40 comes around there's no gains to be had. You basically have to lift to NOT LOSE muscle... unless tech is involved.

Nah, he's not going to wither away and suddenly look like a nonlifter. But the 20+ years is irrelevant.

No gains are to be had BUT if you have naturally built muscle, you can maintain it.

Yoel is 42 years old, 207 lbs-shredded at 5'9 and competes with other technology experts. What do you think?

Or am I unaware and you are an admitted user? No troll or hate, I wrestled in junior college and everyone who roided up (including some future prominent fighters) would all give the "you have to work way harder...its a 10 percent boost".... bs... if you are riding the bike and dont feel like telling tall tales... what were your maxes in the big 3 before you got on?
Well said.

This. OP if you train part time after your cubecel job you can surely look like a 20 year career pro athelete on PEDs as a natty. Just pick up some proton powder from walmart and do some curls.
