You must not be familiar with Dr. Guillermo Escalante's work.I'm sorry if this may sound radical or anti-scientific, far from that intention, but studies are not worth much when it comes to bodybuilding because no university teaches the ins and outs of preparing for a bodybuilding show because this is not a sporting process where peak physical performance is sought, but an art where a specific look is sought. In addition, the use of PEDs is against the ethical rules governing sports and official academies of study.
How do you get a black belt in karate? You go to a teaching center called a gym, you don't go to a damn university.
And if we talk about strength sports such as powerlifting, strongman or weightlifting, it is exactly the same.
Bodybuilders go to universities too. They allow you to. And you get to study what you are interested in. It's not unethical to study the use of drugs, it's not even unethical to administer them with ethical approval, and many studies have looked at testosterone at doses of up to 600 mg weekly after administration for changes in muscle size, body composition, and strength.
