Yes but it would have taken longer and I probably would have spent more time doing things that didn't work.
In some ways I think use of PED's gives you a faster way to see what works for you training wise and diet wise. You know within 4-6 weeks if something works or doesn't work. The progress still stops if you're not doing the right things.
The real truth is that without using some gear I may have stopped a ways back and found something else to do with my time.
With that said I can totally understand why people get discouraged with strength training or bodybuilding if they don't see results. Nobody wants to pour hours into something and barely get any return on their investment. I know that my motivation is spurred forward by progress.
