I don't agree with that.
Not everyone on anabolic androgenic steroids is primarily concerned with looks.
Take powerlifters or strongmen for example.
Different strokes for different folks.
So long as Nolvaldex - tamoxifen citrate - /arimidex or aromasin is on hand and you pay attention to your body I don't believe bodyfat is that big of an issue other than aesthetically.
I'm currently in the high teen's in bodyfat and I really don't give a rip. I'm eating alot and strength is going up every week and I'm happy. Within 2 weeks I'll be the strongest I've ever been.
Guess I believe in the old school get big first and then cut method. Not bulkd and cut, bulk and cut but bulk untile you get to the strength/size you want. Then refine it and strip the bodyfat off.
Of course you have to be willing to not care about looks too much while doing this, but I believe in the long run you'll get bigger, faster because you're always pushing your body to get strogner and giving it the fuel it needs.
Everytime you cut you really aren't gaining. Obviously anabolic androgenic steroids changes this to an extent, but you'd still gain more without the dieting.
I remember Mike Matarazo talking about how he was like 260lbs, +20% bodyfat and had 21" arms before he decided to cut down.
Arnold did this as well although he did not pork up to the same extent, but he was as big as he ever really got by the time he came over to america, but he was smooth and bloated. Then he refined it.
Different strokes.
