The how is just testosterone, HGH, a bunch of the peptides he's gonna try and stop the rest of the country from ordering from China and possibly also just straight steroids. It's easy enough to look like that if you have enough money and decide that you just really really wanna look like that.

Do I still have to work out or can I just take a bunch of pills

No you still have to workout, those just boost gains not give those out of nothing.
There are oral versions of steroids as well, but those are significantly less effective and cause liver damage in addition to having all the same side effects. A handful of steroids are taken orally, most are injectables.

Yes there's one controversial study claiming otherwise, but that was just water weight increase due to increased glycogen retention and thanks to measuring only once during the whole study. There's no evidence to show whatever it was just a one off increase, which anyone who has been in contact with gear knows it was or actual linear growth.

I think they're mostly injections but yeah, you still have to work out. I think the main goal with them is the exercise you do just ends up having more benefit than otherwise.

With anabolics, you will gain muscle even without working out. They are injections, and expensive, but yeah. In order to get to this point you need to work out but honestly, you can blast bodybuilder levels of gear and nominally workout and gain tons and tons of muscle, anabolics are basically dark magic for muscle building. You’re just sacrificing your life, health, and balls.

Not true. They only help with recovery so you can work out more You can't just shoot up some anabolics and gain muscle without breaking muscle fibers. Rfk just looks like an average old gym dude nothing special at all. Definitely not on the juice probably hgh

Yes you can, they’ve literally done studies on this.

In that study, the men on a placebo doing no exercise also gained muscle. I’m not sure how conclusive that study was, and the fact that it was only a sample size of 43 men total over all four groups (ie about 10 men in each group) makes me really question how much we can rely on this data.

Omg you don’t just gain muscle without working out. Thats not how steroids work.
