Elite is a huge site, with its anabolic board more prominently displayed than training by a huge degree. So when people come here, first thing they see is BAM anabolic.
And then you have noobs getting recommended cycles very liberally.
So people get the idea that steroid use is "the way," because elite is a huge site and its the norm.
And the thing is, once you decide to start using... the effect of changes in drug regimen and diet VASTLY outweigh changes in training. Moving weights is just a complicated (and sometimes painful) way to force the body to retain some protein. Steroids do that significantly if you just sit on your ass, but with synergistic effects with training.
In other words, someone who has a crappy routine but good diet and roids stands to gain much more by taking more roids than he does by switching to a good routine. That's just the nature of chemistry. Steroids send a powerful signal to grow that's far higher than anything you can induce naturally.
Look at the olympia winner before and after steroid use caught on. The golden era guys are big and well-shaped, but still look fairly human. Less so with the arnold era, but as time moved on the dosages grew. And now we have ronnie coleman, who probably has someone help him put on his shoes.
so i got a little rambly, but yeah, that's why crappy training tends to reign among those who are on the anabolic board but not the training board.
