Do certain programs only work for lifters that take anabolic steroids? If you do 5/3/1 or Westside or 5thSet, do you need to take performance enhancing drugs to get stronger or bigger?

The truth: there's no such thing as a program designed only for natural or non-natural lifters. If there is, Dave hasn't seen it. Virtue of the fact that the majority of lifters are drug-free, if a program becomes popular, you can immediately know that it works for natural lifters. Otherwise, it wouldn't be popular. Only programs that work, and work for a lot of people are going to become popular.

In this Table Talk video, Dave discusses the concept of training programs for lifters on steroids. Should a program change if a lifter is taking steroids? Is there such a thing as a "natty program?"
