Remember guys, they do give steroids to Aids paitents and others with muscle waisting and they end up with more lean mass, even without training.
I am playing devils advocate here.
In the end, it is all about choices, and those you own.
It's not just hormones that have muscle hypertrophy.

Mechanical overload seems to trigger the mTOR pathway of muscle protein synthesis independent of any hormones.

Considering that science hasn't fully got it sussed as to how muscle actually grows, or why some species of animals can hybernate for months on end without any muscle atrophy, I wouldn't put all my eggs in the basic hormone basket when it comes to muscle growth.
