The easiest way to spot a roider is to see if they have excessive nasolabial folds and facial aging for their age.
Literally every roider has these signs of premature aging.

So whenever you ask yourself "Is he really natty?" if he's under the age of 50 and have ginormous nasolabial folds he's likely not natty.

Now of course Juji is not natty, but if you ever see anyone claiming natty with these folds, now you know he's lying.

Or possibly Vegan
>>
>>76804390
Correct but also not entirely. These usually show up from heavy DHT steroid abuse I've noticed among the people I know who are competing, but people who use milder stuff or T-based roids, or SARMs do not have these. I've mostly seen those in people running high doses of Mast/Primo etc.

Strongest man of all time is natty?

>>76804390
Yeah — this post is likely bait.

Here’s why:

1. Overconfidence + oversimplification:
It claims there’s an “easiest way to spot a roider” and that “literally every roider” has a certain facial feature — that’s way too absolute. Physiology, genetics, hydration, lighting, and even smiling can all affect facial folds. There’s no single reliable “tell” like that.


2. Pseudo-scientific tone:
It uses scientific-sounding words (nasolabial folds, premature aging) but applies them in a way that isn’t grounded in endocrinology or dermatology. It’s dressed up to sound factual but isn’t actually evidence-based.


3. Platform and tone:
It’s from 4chan’s /fit/ board — notorious for bait posts mixing half-truths with exaggerated “bro science” to spark arguments in the comments.


4. Emotional framing:
The “is he really natty?” framing is designed to trigger debate and moral judgments — classic bait for engagement and tribalism in fitness discussions.
So yes — it’s bait. It’s written to look smart and observational but mainly to provoke people into arguing about who’s “natty” or not.

Would you like me to break down why that “nasolabial folds = steroid use” claim doesn’t hold up scientifically?
>>
>>76805529

1. What nasolabial folds actually are

They’re the natural skin creases running from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth.
Everyone has them — they just deepen due to:

Genetics (some people’s bone structure emphasizes them)

Age (loss of collagen + fat under the skin)

Facial expressions (people who smile a lot form stronger folds)

Body fat changes (cutting fat or dehydration makes facial lines sharper)


So: deeper folds ≠ steroid use. They’re primarily genetic + aging + leanness indicators.


---

2. Why “steroids cause facial aging” is oversimplified

Anabolic steroid use can affect the skin and face over long periods — but not in this linear way.
Here’s what actually happens:

Hormonal imbalance can increase oil production, acne, or water retention.

Fluctuating body fat + muscle fullness can change how the face looks, especially when cycling on/off compounds.

Possible collagen alteration with prolonged, heavy abuse, there may be some minor skin-aging effects, but studies don’t support a unique “roid face” pattern like nasolabial folds.


Most visible “aging” comes from:

Extreme cutting phases (face looks gaunt)

Dehydration

Tanning, sun exposure, or low subcutaneous fat, not the drugs themselves.
---

3. Why the meme persists

The “roid face” stereotype is mostly a forum myth — guys spot someone ultra-jacked with harsh lighting or sharp facial lines and assume gear. But in reality:

Lean faces show folds.

High testosterone (even natural) can thicken skin or jaw features.

Many lifters using gear don’t show these folds, and plenty of naturals do.


It’s confirmation bias: people see what fits the story they already believe.


---

4. The bottom line

Deep nasolabial folds ≠ proof of steroid use.

Visible aging ≠ proof either.

The only reliable indicators come from bloodwork, drug testing, or confession, not facial structure.

there are these two huge guys at my gym who both openly say that they take roids and dont care about, they even told other guys at the gym that if they want to start roiding just aks them and they would help them get the drugs

Juji was using in his early 20's when people thought he was natty btw

>>76806174
He didn't call himself that back then, but you're correct regardless. People think picrel was when he was natty but I used to talk to him then and he was already on baby 500mg test cycles
>>
>>76805521
Genetic outliers are outliers. Dude probably takes like 500mg test. Thats all Zavickas needs. Losers like Juji (and me) need to blast 2-3 grams per week of a mix of steroids, injectables and orals and ancillaries just to not look like shit.
>>
>>76804390
I always had deep nasolabial folds and look old for my age, I'm natty for life, can only bench 100kg x 8 and would get called dyel if I posted body lol

Being ugly/looking shit for your age doesn't automatically mean you're on gear bro. Of course Juji in your example is blasting though

Based on this criteria, would you say this guy at my gym is roided? He's supposed to be 23 but his face looks older to me
>>
>>76804390
Yes Anon, definitely when I look at someone the first thing I check is their nasolabial folds. In fact I hear WADA does random unannounced checks on all Olympic Athletes where they bust down your door and examine your nasolabial folds.

Chud lines are ACK-shilly a more general sign of collagen skill issues; the wrong roids, aging, dysgenic genetics, tanning, shit-tier skincare skills, and eating to many AGEs are all different mechanisms that cause them.

Personally, I can only get Chud lines by doing a very exaggerated trollface or Cheshire cat type grin. I'm mid 30s and only roid with ecdy, do all the deranged China peels and shit that upregulates collagen.

How much of an absolute fucking retard do you have to be if that's what you're looking for to judge if someone is roiding or not.

From his face, he has an iq of a room temperature and a discipline of a kid on a severe adhd with a zero impulse control. Even if he was 70kg dyel, he would still be on roids.
