>chads are all 6'4+ and jacked these days>they also almost all played sports in highschool>remember in highschool all the football and wrestling dudes constantly joking that anything someone else is drinking is juice>they were all inexplicably musclebound and grew much more than everyone elseWhat are the long term implications of tons of teenagers taking a chemist's cocktail of hgh, test and various anabolics for their entire puberty? There have always been those "big kids" that are just big as shit, but they have a pituatary condition or something and are few and far between. These days coaches are pumping their players full of whatever they can to get an edge in fuckin high school sports, and every kid on the team is built like that big kid with a pituatary condition
>>80105824There weren't many kids like that. In fact zoomers are the shortest generation since boomers (gen X is actually the tallest).Possibly gen alpha or gen beta will be like that in the future. But I doubt it's a common practice even now and I'm not sure how much you can actually increase height with drugs vs. it just making kids look muscular. For sure there are brain conditions that can make people grow abnormally tall but those don't turn you into chad. They turn you into a 7' circus freak who dies at age 40 after a brief lifetime of severe pain and disability.
>>80105884>Why are Americans getting shorter?Lol because south americans and asians are short.
>>80105884white people are definitely getting talleri height mog most 40+ white guys but i'm below average among the yoof
>>80105824One of my brothers classmates growing up was built like a fucking tank. Was already growing a mustache in 5th grade and had grown out his facial hair completely by 7th. Pretty sure he went on to play football in college or something
>>80105892>>80105901That same article looked at non-hispanic whites specifically and still found a trend of decreasing height after Gen X, albeit to a lesser degree than when you include the impact of immigrants.
>>80105824The implications of teenagers taking steroids for sports is that it's a genetic crucible. A small amount will be hyper responders with minimal side effects who go on to become D1 and/or pro athletes. Most will fuck their endocrine systems up and go prematurely bald, blow out their organs, stunt their growth, then end up as bar tenders or manual laborers pining about the 'glory days.' Such is life in America. And yes most career athletes got on the sauce in high school. DBOL and football are a meme for a good reason.
