Ok in the past year I've been hittin' the weights hard and have gained a good 35 lbs. muscle so now I'm a good 175, my work out partner was about 190 and now he's like 265 and a monster, benching 400lbs. Is this possible without 'roids.?

Depending on his genetic makeup, it's possible.

Not likely, mind you. But it is possible.

Ask him? How the hell should I know, I'm not familiar with his workout habits...

I think with the proper diet and exercise you can definitely do it without the steroids.... Go for protein shakes and protein bars
Good Luck!!!

Who knows. Ask him

I take whey and creatine, but I havn't broken through to that next level yet. And believe me I watch my diet, eat a lot and have a super fast metabolism.

Yuck..... your workout partner sounds like he traded his weiner for his muscles.

Either way.... steroids or not.... most women find big bulging muscles, especially a thick neck, to be really a big, hugungous and incredibly ginormous turn off.

STEROIDS WILL MAKE YOU BLEED OUT OF YOUR BUTTHOLE

That's not why I get it in but I feel you. I practiced Martial arts for years and always thought if I was to get too huskie I'd sacrafice flexability which would be detrimental...

Muscles are great... big muscles are nasty.JMO

Gross!!! and it will make your winky shrink

And don't forget testosterone makes you go bald....

NOOOOOOOOO! I love my waves too much for that!!!

Ummm....really???

And here I have been blaming my Dad for all these years....lmao

The baldness gene actually comes from the mother's side... but it is excess testosterone. My brother in-law had to take injections of it for fertility treatments and he went bald within a year.... the doctor told him that was a side effect.

Huh. I actually knew about the gene coming from the mother's side of the family.

But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna give my Dad grief about it...lol

It is possible, maybe your friend is a mesomorph. Prior to the invention and refinement of steroids, there were a minority of athletes in professional wrestling, and a lot in bodybuilding, who were able to develop and drop muscle mass fairly quickly when obeying a strict diet and regimen. These athletes stood out, and to today's generation, many would look like steroid monsters. The best example was Bert Assirati, a strong man who was active in bodybuilding, gymnastics and wrestling in the 20s and 30s. Assirati stood a mere 5'6" (only an inch and a half taller than me), yet he achieved a huge 245 pounds of bulk...and not from eating sandwiches, lol.

Damn! let me google that real quick!

A good way of telling if someone is using steroids is that they start to get pimples on thier arms for some reason. If you want to get the advantages of increased testeroserone naturally in your workout is to start hitting the weights at about 5:00 a.m. Your body has a natural spike in testeroserone, hence "morning wood." Sorry if I made any of you ladies blush.
