Idk if this is the right place to post this, but I'm asking because I got banned from the r/gainit sub for pointing out that some 19 year old guy was almost certainly on PEDs - going from skinny to huge in 6 months - despite not admitting it in his post.

The mods were banning and taking the piss out of people like me for 'being small' because we're not on gear, and saying we're just jealous of his progress.

I'm starting to think that most people in fitness subs are on PEDs, and it's basically just normalised and even encouraged online to take them.

I’m 18M, love to workout, I’ve posted some progress pics of my body a few times on fitness subs, and every time I get a bunch of gay guys flirting with me and sending me unsolicited nudes and stuff in my DMs?

I’m kind of flattered, but I’m not really gay? Should I just ignore them?

Been lifting 18 months. 4-day upper/lower felt good but not quite enough. 6-day PPL feels like too much and I don’t think I recover well enough to push hard every session.

I’m thinking of trying a 5-day bro split for a few months. Main goal is hypertrophy, mostly chest/arms/shoulders, and I like the idea of focusing on one muscle group per day.

Is it actually worth trying, even though people say it's trash?
