Slightly different, but I'd say "pumping" is worse in the way that the dudes with the
favourable genetics do ANY CRAZY CRAP in the gym, grow like crazy, and therefore
conclude that whatever they do should be endoctrinated. So, many dodgey theories
are born. I lived it! I worked in gyms for 5 years, and all the young guys would ignore
me (because I was only 80kg) and do whatever the big guys told them, no matter how
back-breaking it was.
