What physique is attainable with just testosterone cycles?

Assuming "diet is in check" is a vague thought process in your line of questioning. Diet is as critical a component as any compound in a cycle. The "right diet" depends on what you are trying to achieve. What is attainable depends on your goals and your discipline. But test is powerful enough to help you achieve a very impressive physique regardless of your goals if you plan the desired outcome, and stay disciplined to the diet put in the work. Simple as that

I know diet is critical, thats why I assumed diet was in check to keep it out of the equation.
I also know you can build an impressive phisique with just test, but how different would it be compared to someone whos using for example Tren, or Dbol, or whatever else?
This is kind of an out of the box question. genetics play a big role. I mean if you look at TED0071 he's been on tren for the past 3 years and it doesn't even look like he barely lifts. then you got guys that just run one pussy cycle a year of maybe low dose testosterone and look 100 times better than TED. this question is impossible to answer without all of the stars being aligned

Not talking about myself here, I have pretty shit genetics.
Just wondering what an average person can achieve with just test and what edge other compounds would give him

Too many variables involved. Dosage, genetic potential, hormone response, etc. A physique like Steve Reeves with a bit less bloat is achievable with test only IMO. You will need more than "test only" because managing estradiol is half of the battle when introducing aromatizing compounds like test into your body. Great results can come from test and I have not tried many compounds but so far I stand by the moto that test is best.

Very specific bud lol
Mass wise yes but test alone will never give you this look he has parabolon and bunch of other stuff written all over himView attachment 561921

I remember a thread not long ago on BB.com talking about the possibility of achieving a Frank Zane type physique without steroids. Kids nowadays have let the fitness industry completely brainwash them. As far as good aesthetics and size combined my favorite is Sergio Oliva. I am biased because he is from my country lol.

Other compounds have other beneficial effects like joint relief from nandrolone (synovial fluid viscosity change), trenbolone is extremely more anabolic and allows less volume needed on top of improving feed efficiency. Boldenone is known for stimulating appetite and red blood cell production (careful with that one - there IS such as too much of a good thing), masteron and other DHT derivatives have a binding affinity to androgen receptors over estradiol and SHBG, freeing up more active hormone as well as increasing androgenic traits, the list goes on and on.
Remember though, the monsters you see today are on far more than just AAS. Once human growth hormone hit the bb community, there was an enormous change as can be seen by looking at Olympia competitors from the 70's to the early 90's and comparing them to the men of today that compete at that level.
Testosterone will easily satisfy the needs of most, but where's the fun in that?

Do you think that the GH is responsible for the size seen today or is it the slin or a combo of both. I think that igf-1 is causing a lot of the size differences seen today. The combo of all of those things is making a huge difference, but would running an amount like 12iu of pharma gh yield size on its own or would you also need it to work in synergy with slin to get size? I study a lot about AAS but I do not know much about the muscle building properties of GH on its own. I know what it does for recovery, skin, hair, and fat loss, but not a lot of people take high enough doses of real gh to report muscle gain.
