Whether they are discussing the formerly legal "pro"-steroids/prohormones, or the formerly legal AAS steroids (only made illegal a decade and a half ago) most steroid profiles are saturated in brotelligence. They are often not terribly science based in their dosing recommendations or their predicted results. They are often based on what the bro that wrote it has heard or experienced, with a but of science sprinkled on top, almost as an afterthought. Not all steroid profiles are this bad, but some are.
The reference point threads are meant to be a check on the brotelligence of the profiles. By looking over what other users have actually experienced, interesting things can be gleaned, e.g. "Hmm, looks like only 10 people out of 100 experienced the kind of effects I was told this steroid produces at that dose." Or on the contrary, if there is some steroid that is underestimated or it is rarely written about, it would be nice to have all of people's personal experiences there in one place. The latter part of the first post in the reference point thread should be an executive summary of all the posters' experiences, which serve as empirical footnotes. Compare the executive summary against the profile that just goes around in circulation, and you're in a position to start making good judgements about what to use. Rely on the profiles alone, and you either have to scour the web looking for reviews, talk to local bros, or just play trial and error on yourself. It seems to me that the reference point threads would save a hell of a lot of useless effort -- but only if people take the 45 seconds necessary to post a reply in them.
AnabolicMinds was the best source on the web for information about prohormones and "pro"-steroids. Many people will still use these or other anabolics in the future. So if you would like to make a contribution against brotelligence, Click here: The Reference Point Threads.
