What is this complete nonsensical post even?

Nobody on anabolic steroids can work out at max effort without getting tired, or being able to go without sleep, you're probably thinking of meth, not AAS.

And what do kidneys have to do with processing steroids?

And why bring up Ronnie Coleman as an example when his issue was that, 2 days after spinal surgery, against all recommendations, he decided to squat 800 pounds?

And steroids increase DHT, which can be a risk factor in PROSTATE cancer, not testicular cancer.

I’ve the past several months, due to publicized advancements in LLM tech, I’ve started to read comments on HN and elsewhere with the ready assumption that these fora are prime training grounds for chat bots, and any given post may very well be machine-generated. The parent comment fits the bill completely, down to the username. Of course I can’t tell for sure, and there’s no question that real people have a proven capability for nonsensical statements, but sometimes there is a Mad Libs quality to a comment that makes me regard it as a likely byproduct of some hacker’s AI side project.
Are you speaking from experience as you have used steroids at the levels bodybuilders use or prescribed them? I have. Incorrect dosage timing i.e. taking them in the evening leads to little or no sleep.

Kidneys end up failing soon with all the associated supplements and drugs.

I merely wanted to comment about some side effects and give easy to understand examples because I did not see anyone mention the benefits yet. Thanks for going into more detail than I cared to. I think posting only benefits would be foolish.
