I’m going to tell you why this kind of irritates a lot of the older guys here.
When we were growing up, two things were very different.
1. Nothing protected us from getting our ass beat if we ran our mouth off or tried to act like a punk tough guy.
2. There weren’t awards for sucking at something. You either worked harder than everyone else 5 hours a day, or you sucked and learned a little humility, which encouraged us to work harder.
3. No one spoon fed us anything. If we wanted to learn about something, we went to the library and checked out every book about it and read all night to learn.
So naturally the internet came to be what it is, we were like “what?!? All the entire worlds information and answers to all our questions are in one place?!?”
So, me, having grown up like this, use hard work and dedication as a resource to progress and learn. So when I discovered bodybuilding at 17, I read about it constantly, and when I decided at 30 that I’d like to use PEDs, I found AM in 2010. I then proceeded to read 2-3 hours a day for 3 YEARS, only posting if I needed clarification. At the end of that time, I decided I had learned enough to properly run a testosterone-only cycle, source the drugs on the internet, including ancillaries, and purchase all my support supplements on Swanson naturals. I then proposed a cycle on here, which was fine tuned by experienced vets and I took every bit of advice I could take, with my newly updated cycle plan and executed it.
So let’s say. Conservatively I only read AM 2 hours a day and only 5 days a week. That’s roughly 1500 hours of reading before I did steroids. Now, while everyone doesn’t need to do that much with where technology and science are at, but maybe it can shed some light on why we don’t want to do all that for ourselves and then have to do it for others. It would be like never taking training wheels off our kids bikes because it’s going to be too challenging and they might feel stupid or make mistakes or even get hurt. That’s part of learning and part of the amazing process of life. If we spoon fed it all to you, we are robbing you of a process that may make you great.
Smart, knowledgeable people intrigue me, because they question everything, they want to learn everything on their own, and they never truly feel they know enough about anything. That’s who I want to be like.
