Gordon Ryan, who has never denied steroid use in the past, recently shed light on a common misconception about anabolic steroids and their impact on an athlete’s physique.
He explained that, despite his health issues and a considerable weight loss of nearly 10kg (22 lbs), his body has maintained a high standard – due to his commitment to authentic muscle growth, rather than solely relying on PEDs:
For those of you close to me, you know I’ve been bedridden almost completely for the last month or so with my stomach.
Haven’t been able to eat hardly anything or exercise at all.Today is the first day I’ve been able to push more than a light workout (I did legs) in over a month.
I’ve lost 20 lbs (currently around 206), yet I still feel strong.
He explained that “it’s not all about steroids”:
No matter how many steroids you take, you won’t maintain size off cycle or through sickness if you haven’t built “real” muscle.
It’s why you see guys go from 235 to 170 on vs. off cycle.
Ryan is still going strong, however:
Even though I’m malnourished and dying, I’m still me.
You can’t cut corners and expect proper results.
