It probably would have. What’s funny is in my early 20’s on my superdrol cycle my legs were strong as hell and grew with no issues.
Even when I did start using test in my mid 20’s (25-26ish) it was the same. I loved to train legs and had a few pro’s at my La Fitness who let me train with them which was invaluable.
A cycle for me in those days was 250mg test a week with 300mg EQ. I thought those were high dosages because I was taking “two” different steroids.
Then you fracture a hip, get a few partial tears, take a few years off from training hard and using anything but Test Cyp at 250mg for 8 weeks on and 8 weeks off. Was so busy starting my business and with life that it was just get in the gym 4 days a week.
But the good new is at least my legs “did” match my gear dosages back then.
On insulin- I had access to all the Humalog I wanted at 22. I tried it once and did the whole 10:1 rule and by the time I was pulling in the gum I was blacking out and had already chugged all my dextrose. Luckily the guy I trained with at the time came to my truck and brought me one of the old EAS CarboGain I think they were called. Drank 100g of carbs form those and just set there drenched in cold sweats.
Needless to say I can honestly say I didn’t touch insulin again until I worked with Milos in 2021 and really did not want to at first.
I would have used HGH much earlier, but I’m glad I waited so long to go back to insulin as I think it would have ruined my physique and lines that early on as I hadn’t hardly done a real cycle and had so many other things I could have maximized first.
