[h=4]Many people think steroids make a massive difference in terms of competitiveness in strength sports. They are wrong.[/h]
[h=4]Other people (somehow) think that steroids don’t make much of a difference. They are also wrong.[/h]
[h=4]Steroids DO help people gain muscle mass and absolute strength at a much faster rate, but the increase in muscle mass generally means you’re forced to move into a heavier weight class where you need to lift more in order to be equally competitive.[/h]
[h=4]When looking at world records, experimental evidence, and cross-sectional studies, the resulting picture shows that steroids increase your competitiveness in strength sports by about 10%.[/h]
This is the second part in a 7-part series about steroids. Make sure you check out the preceding parts before diving in, so you don’t feel like you’re stepping into the middle of a conversation.
The little bugger trains hard but I think the answer to your question for most of the overnight gainz club is "zero". Many don't know a life without it and wouldn't be lifting at all without roids.

wow, never heard anything more stupid. people lift cause they love to lift, some test just makes it better, like you eating cake and getting fat, you eat it cause it taste good.
some lift cause it feels good, drugs or not, doesn't matter.
Why do cheating fraudsters continually need to play down the advantage it gives them? I'd also be inclined to argue that some of the adaptations your muscles would make would be fairly permanent.
I still think they give you around 15-20% for most males, excluding diet and training over time. Of course, some may get less, but most I have known have got what I suggest.
Well that's the thing Sparty - all these guys bang on about how 'little' advantage steroids give them; if this truly were the case why would they even bother. You can only really compare those who've been caught out in a tested sport vs those who weren't using PEDs.

Yeah it's always a bit of a laugh. You can tell who is on by how much they downplay what roids do. Yet they are jabbing it into their arse every chance they get.
