Ive been noticing recently in the gym that there are a couple of guys(could be wrong here) that shoot steroids...they've got the huge upperbody... light voices...etc..(er...they fit the profile of someone youd think would do steroids)...and when they lift weights....like curls, triceps, bench, etc. they dont even lift as much as me and my friend do(we are both 15 and they look like they're in their 40s er somethin)....like on the curlbar....I put a 35 on each side of it and sit down on that curl bar bench dealy and do em....and when they do em all I ever see em do is like a 25 on each side...when I do free hand curls I use either 40s or 45s and I see the struggln with 25s...I could go on....but are they just not really tryin or can steroids or whatever make you bigger but not add strength???...If I sound like I dont really know what Im talkin about its cause I prolly dont lol....but it's just somethin I've noticed???...O ya....and theres this one guy...he looks.."natural" or whatever..hes a couple of inches taller than me...and he does a hell of alot ore weight than the "other guys"....also, the "other guys" are only like...5'5" ish...

first, please don't assume they take steroids, that bothers me. what if they work really hard, and you're assuming they're cheating! anyways, some people consider the best way to gain size is from reps ranging from 12-16, which would mean a lower weight than used for 6-8 reps. also, to train for size you don't need to break down the muscle as much, as with strength training, rather just make them pump. maybe just a different type of workout routine. but yes, steroids could make you a lot stronger while only increasing your strength a little.
Speaking of steroids...
when I was first getting to new this chick friend she was showing me pics. In a few pics was of her bro...same size as me, but he was absolutely cut and bulging muscle.
apparently he was on steroids, weeks later I saw him in person and it was the sickest thing to see. He must have lossed over 30lbs of muscle because now he's as flat as a bored and thin. He went off the roids'...
just looking at the before and after was enough to scare me away from riods.
