Video: 5 Signs That Someone is On Steroids

I find that people (especially on reddit) rarely are accurate at guessing this. Many people who have been accused of steroid use didn't use them while many who did surprise people. Seems like it's not super reliable to just see someone huge and guess by their shape or skin.
Yup, there's a lot of people using that you wouldn't expect...even in rasslin
Take William Regal for instance
busted for steroids with this physique
You could be on grams and not have any of those symptoms though.
The big tell is usually the 24/7 muscle pump. Like the skin is stretched tight over the muscle. Also, ridiculous strength at average size.

1. You can't judge FFMI by eye.
2. Gynecomastia is only a side effect if you don't cycle properly, and doesn't present in everyone.
3. Disproportionate muscle growth is an indicator of poor training habits, not steroid use. A better indicator would be disproportionately large shoulders, as shoulder muscles are more receptive to steroids (google "capped delts").
4. Acne does not present for everyone, and is only associated with some steroids, not all.
5. Roid rage is real, but it is not a reliable indication of steroid use.

Gotta have the proper genetics to begin with or you're just polishing a turd, essentially.
If you want some good entertainment, watch Philion's YouTube series calling out fake nattys. He's got some good ones.
I remember a thread (it was either old gaf or even Gamefaqs way back in the day) where someone claimed Ronnie Coleman was natural and wouldn't take any gear since he was a police officer. Got a good laugh out of that one. Ronnie's the GOAT, and everyone in the industry of bodybuilding/powerlifting is on gear of some sort. You have to be.

As a gym rat, meh. Roids is roids. Whatever. As long as you're doing it safely and not hurting anyone, then you do you. Me? I'm perfectly fine with my natural size and strength. Though some people do ask if I take roids, which is a good sign I'm doing something right.
I hate lists like this. I've been tested by my former gym, a year later by the police, they came in to the gym and took me to the police station for tests.
Steroids is illegal where I live fyi.

Too many people out there who take roids but still look DYEL (do you even lift) for anything to be a reliable indicator besides the extreme cases.
Yes but this thread is differentiating that. At least not in the title.
I always get my fitness and health advice from Gravity Transformation, the Fat Loss Experts, where I discover the TRUTH about losing weight, burning fat, getting rid of that stubborn lower belly fat, and building muscle naturally.
Most athletes and entertainers are.
Its nornal now, even expected if you are punching bad guys or shirtless for scenes

They targeted you in specific? Could have you opted out? That's insane.
