Beta blockers hinder muscle growth?

Recently been using 50mg Atenolol and just tried 10mg Propranolol yesterday to wind down.
I'm always on edge when on cycle or PEDs unfortunately

(300 Test, 140 Tren, Adding 200-300 Mast within the next 2 weeks)

But I've been doing research and see that beta blockers could possibly inhibit muscle growth? Atenolol keeps my RHR and BP in a good place so I'm unsure if this applies to me

Chatgpt says:
beta blockers reduce adrenaline and lower heart rate, which blunts maximal muscle fiber recruitment and power output during sets. that means even when you hit failure, you’re not activating the highest-threshold fast-twitch fibers as effectively — those are the ones that actually grow the most. plus, the lower adrenaline signal reduces the body’s drive to adapt, so recovery doesn’t translate into as much strength or size gains.

Does this even matter? I'm hitting muscular failure and training hard as hell still. It's just that my heart rate is capped, but not capped to the point where I can't push hard. Am i overthinking it? I feel like anabolics would still cause insane growth even with this small roadblock.
