I go to a college town gym and a lot of people there are already on gear so not sure if my experience will change anyone's decision.
For training I do a 6 day PPL and that gives me much better results than less frequent workouts or a bro split. I have also responded well to Bulbine (natural test booster). One problem I was hoping the sarm would solve us that my legs are way better than upper body. I PRd a 405 squat and 255 bench in the same week At least being short makes my natty muscles look bigger so maybe with that and the endurance I can still reach my goal.
That’s a completely normal number disparity in the powerlifts for a guy who has been doing them for some years. It is extremely common when a young man begins doing the big lifts for his squat and deadlift to virtually explode by comparison to the rate of progress for his bench, unless he is just naturally built to bench big (the minority). The lower body muscles develop faster because the overall loads are greater, they’re bigger, and newer lifters can train them with higher relative intensities more frequently than when they get older and more beat up.
If you squat 400 and gain 1% strength, you can now squat 404. If you bench 250 and improve at the same rate, your bench only goes up 2.5lbs. Plus, bench is the lift probably most responsive to weight gain, muscle size increase, and drug use. It takes time to build and mature those smaller upper body muscles, many years of hard work, much more than legs.
All the guys I trained with when we were in early/mid 20s, natty or not, including myself all deadlifted 500 before benching 300. Most even squat 500 before that (I got my first 500 squat same meet I finally benched 300). Only training partners who had been bros for years already before powerlifting did otherwise.
