Been reading the steroid literature. It's heavily torn between academics who are under pressure to say that anabolics are always bad (even when the results show otherwise) and broscience that promotes excessive use.

Several studies show that a simple testosterone enanthate only cycle at 5-600 mg/week builds significant muscle with minimal sides. This happens regardless of whether subjects work out or not. Exercise outperforms obviously.

Anabolics increase the number & density of muscle satellite cells (also called myonuclei). These cells determine how quickly you can build muscle and how much muscle mass you can support. They have extremely long lifespans: several decades at minimum.

The long term change in muscle structure means that those who've used steroids in the past, even for a short time, permanently increase their ability to build and maintain muscle. The performance enhancing effect lasts for decades, possibly a lifetime.

Some academics are now calling for lifetime bans for any athlete who's tested positive once due to the permanent performance enhancement. I've even seen papers arguing for doing muscle biopsies and myonuclei counts to test for past usage.

Given large positive effect sizes and near absence of side effects (10-12 wk test-e only cycle) doctors should actually start prescribing this. Almost every man would benefit from a single cycle in their early 20s. Good for elderly and frail too.

I've concluded the same. Amazing how the med establishment would treat you as a drug-seeker if you brought it up. Contrast with someone walking in wanting estrogens to live as a woman..

Replying to @AngloRemnant
Much of self directed medicine is learning about analogs and finding reliable "research chemical" dealers.
