4 months is equivalent to an NRL pre season, to say 4 months of hard training would achieve nothing is ridiculous. Maybe we're looking at different definitions of looking good. To me you get an average guy, put on 4 or 5kg of lean muscle mass, reduce his body fat and you'd definitely start to see results. Get him on the roids and that 4 or 5kg can easily be 7 or 8kg.
I'm obviously not comparing a guy after 4 months to your great idol Zyzz, but if a guy is pumping the right stuff and has a moderate amount of discipline in terms of training and dieting, they could achieve a noticeably result in 4 months, give them a year and they'd look tremendous.
If you get a chance search up a documentary on YouTube called superhuman: steroids, in it there's a guy named Dr Harrison Pope who's a professor at Harvard University who's done alot of research on anabolic steroid use, and he's quoted as saying "a young guy who eats badly, sleeps badly, smokes, drinks too much alcohol, misses half of his gym workouts and takes steroids can blow away the most dedicated, most gifted athlete in terms of sheer muscle gain"
I'd agree that someone new to the gym could put on 4-5kgs in 4 months, but it's just not gunna happen realistically. It takes a couple ov years to learn how to train properly. 5kgs ov muscle is a lot more than people think. If you take a bodybuilder who goes from 90kgs to 95kgs on stage, with the same condition and compare the shots, there is a mind blowing difference in size.
Well I'd have to watch that documentary and see the context and agenda from that quote. I wonder if this doctor backed up that quote with a study, pinning a dedicated non-user against a non-dedicated user. Because I can assure you I have seen a lot ov young guys that take steroids, maybe just have one ov those negative lifestyle traits make no progress. You still have to eat well, train hard, rest a lot to gain natural or non-natural, steroids just add that little bit extra on the top.
Obviously a "young guy who eats badly, sleeps badly, smokes, drinks too much alcohol, misses half of his gym workouts and takes steroids" is going to gain more than a non-user who does the same. Although both will gain next to nothing.
Also, 4 months is nothing in the grand scheme ov things, but I guess it's all relative to what your grand scheme is. You should post a pic ov "tremendous" just so we can get on the same page.
P.S. Zyzz was never my idol, I just have a bit ov respect. A 22 year old guy taken away from his family is never a good thing, no matter what you think ov the person. "LOL he deserved it" is a horrible thing to say, even through a faceless internet forum.
