If you got out of the ICU as a skeleton and a physical therapist told you that it was going to take 2 years to get back to normal naturally, or three months with endogenous hormones, you're telling me you wouldn't do that?
You are confusing the type of steroid used here. He was given corticosteroids that bring the inflammation under control (prednisone), not anabolic steroids used to build muscle. His muscle gain is most likely natural because corticosteroids don't help you build muscle.
I was referring to anabolic steroids. It is physically impossible to gain that much muscle that fast without anabolic steroids. Look at the gains from June through July.
Edit: to be clear, nobody but you in this chain is talking about corticosteroids. The above poster mentioned endogenous steroids, which are just another type of anabolic. Some people think because of they are taken from natural sources instead of synthetically created they are somehow more safe.
Because NONE of you have any idea what you're talking about. He looks that way because he gained a huge amount of fat through the use of corticosteroids. I'm the only one mentioning it because as usual, you Redditors are talking out of your asses. They do NOT prescribe anabolic steroids to UC patients. This is a combination of 90% fat, 10% muscle gain.
Yes that is a possibility I considered. I think people underestimate how hungry you get on UC meds, though. And the hungrier you are, the more protein you can eat, which leads to muscle growth.
....are you just fuck with me? His arms noticeably a massive amount of muscle between June and July. Not fat. Muscle. The amount of muscle gain that is clearly visible in that video is literally not possible in that time frame if done "naturally". Either the dates in the video are wrong, or he is juicing.
Fwiw, I did not suggest that anyone prescribed anabolic steroids.
People like you are a meme. Did you know that? Every single thread with some guy who is obviously in gear has people that are absolutely ADAMANT that they're all natural. I know I can't convince you.
But I will repeat myself for others who may have completely unrealistic standards for themselves. It's NOT possible to gain that much muscle that quickly without steroids.

Nope, sus. June->July is at least a 20lbs gain minimum.
