The point was, that steroids don't grow muscle on their own. Of course, all that will change if they can develope a good myostatin inhibitor.
You're talking about tissue repair, which is exactly what happens post workout. If there was no damaged tissue, then there would be no repair, let alone the building of new tissue.

You are looking at things from the wrong perspective. I don't think that anyone here will argue the fact that a neuromuscular stimulis must be generated and an adaptation phase must also take place in order for an increase in strength and performance to occur. That's a given, but you must also consider what happens when particular anabolic androgenic steroids are included into the basic equation of training, nutrition and rest.
In general, androgens such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) do play a significant role in regards to strength. The impact of DHT on strength is more profound due to its impact on the Central Nervous System (CNS). Various parts of the brain are saturated in 5 alpha reductase (5AR) enzymes. Testosterone metabolizes into DHT via the 5AR. Basically, DHT amplifies the androgenic signal of testosterone and therefore increases neurological efficiency and resistance to physical and psychological stress, all of which are directly related to strength.
