Lower testosterone is probably a big part of it. Look at 23 or 24 year old enhanced bodybuilders. they look like theyre 35. For whatever reason peoples T levels have been going down about 1 percent per year for the last 50 years. Its bound to have an effect.
How much testosterone you have is not directly related to how 'masculine' you look. It's far more complicated than that. There are people with baby face that have very high levels of testosterone, and people who look very masc that have low levels.
Source?
thats dumb it literally changes your bone structure rapidly, adding bone to your brow and jaw. GH will cause all your bones to get thicker too.
I wasnt talking about masculinity, i was talking about apparent age. Test converts to DHT over time which in turn causes male hair patterns. Beard growth, receeded hair line, etc. Other than that though, it just makes you look older.
examples :
sam sulek before/after 3 years of roids
natural example : eddie hall looking like hes 25 at 16
