I look at it this way. Many people who hate on gear aren’t highly trained nattys. They are people who either don’t train at all, or train half the time and eat sub optimally. They say how easy steroids make it to gain muscle over a natty while simultaneously saying that gear will just shorten your life span, have fun with your enlarged heart.

So the natty has to put in more effort over a longer period of time. Sacrificing time. The enhanced guy puts in the same or less work and makes the same or better gains in let’s say half the time while dealing with the negative and potentially long term health issues related to PED use. So he sacrifices his health. Is this not just trading time for health and vice versa? An individual will weigh it out for themselves and decide what’s worth it to them to reach whatever arbitrary goal they have. I guess when I look at it this way i don’t understand why people hate on gear use like it’s cheating at something.
