any guess as to what these numbers mean?
There are 11375 threads in the anabolic forum alone. There are 11216 threads in every other forum combined (general chat excluded). This **** is getting ridiculous. Too much focus is being placed on anabolics instead of a proper training and nutrition plan. We all need to take a step back and look at what is going on here. Not saying I'm different, I'm just as guilty as any of you. Hell, I probably post in the anabolics section more so than any other section, either giving advice to newbs or just bullshitting. But either way, I believe the point is obvious. Too much emphasis is placed on 'supplementation' when other factors aren't even close to being dialed in. When's the last time anyone started a thread in the anabolics section and posted their diet? I can't name one. 90% of the time, the other members have to drag the **** out of the thread starter to post up his (sometimes her) diet. And what have we discovered almost every time.......the diet is fucked, the training is fucked, rest is non-existant, overtraining to the 10th degree, etc. There are 3 things you need in this lifestyle to suceed: eat, sleep, and train. That's it. There is no anabolic requirement nor will there ever be. You can pump all the oil, pop all the pills, or rub all the transdermals on you and in the end, you will look the exact same if those 3 factors aren't in line. I sense a lot of disgust in the senior members of this board and I rarely see them even posting anymore in this section, because they have deemed it worthless. Who listens? Very few, usually noone. Most believe there is some sort of secret ingredient to excelling in this lifestyle we have chosen and those are the ones that will not change in the years to come. They will lift the same weight, they will eat the same foods, curse their genetics for not responding to their 5x/wk arm workout, and jump on the latest and greatest super designer steroid on the market. 4 weeks or so later, they're a little stronger, little bigger, and then PCT rolls around..........gains diminish. Want to know why? Because 3 shitty meals a day and working out 6x per week doesn't cut it. Eventually, their thought process might change but for now, it's genetic blaming time.
We all see the point here. Step back and analyze other factors before jumping into any anabolic agent. If you're not gaining naturally, then something is fucked up and you need to address it before jumping on anything, otherwise you're just chasing your own tail. There are some who really have maxed out their genetic potential and will need anabolic help at some point if they wish to continue gaining. But I have yet to see anyone on this board that meets that qualification.
