Would you mind explaining "low quality muscle mass"? That doesn't seem like a real thing. Do you know how steroids typically work? They allow you to work out more and recover quicker. You're putting on "real" muscle, just faster than you could un-aided.

They also act as anabolics, so you could argue that the muscle mass gained due to their anabolic effect is "low quality" (that's not what I'm doing, though).
