his point was dead on though bro. i thought the same way when i first started researching steroids, reading profiles and such. this one makes you hard, this one bloats you, yadda yadda yadda.
i've since come to be of a mind that so much more depends on your diet.
people look at it all wrong. i want to throw in dbol at the beginning to "maximize my gains" and winnie at the end to "get me that shredded look." but i'll eat the same way all cycle? there's something wrong with that.
anyway, i think his point was just don't rely on the gear. if you need to lose fat, eat differently and adjust your training, if you want to add maximum muscle, eat differently and adjust your training. the different compounds can work along side your diet and training with synergy if you use them strategically, but without the right diet and training to work alongside, they are silly to use.
at least that's the way i look at it. and you should diet and train differently for fat loss than for maximum mass gains. obviously, but still.... just sayin....
