Chris, Paul, and Joe discuss the differences between enhanced and natural training, including muscle gains, strength, myofibrillar protein synthesis, hypertrophy, and muscle force production. They explore the impact of neural adaptations, effects of TRT on body composition, fat burning, and protein requirements. The conversation also covers optimizing training strategies for natural bodybuilders, the battle of models in fitness, the importance of alternative theories, and the discussion about linking studies and infographics.

Episode notes
Steroids Grow Muscle Without Training
- Anabolic steroids can cause muscle growth and strength gains even without exercise.
- Steroid users sitting on the couch showed similar strength increases to natural trainees over 10 weeks.
Steroids Induce Growth Without Tension
- Anabolic steroids promote muscle growth without mechanical tension by directly affecting muscle fibers.
- This challenges the idea that muscle growth requires exercise to apply mechanical tension during hypertrophy.
Steroids Enhance Recovery Not Volume
- Steroids speed recovery from muscle damage but do not raise the hypertrophy stimulus cap per session.
- Recovery between workouts improves allowing higher weekly training volume, not volume per session.
