So... was he asking money for info or not? If not then it makes no sense for you to complain about free info, if you don't like the advice given, don't follow it.
Again, you posted your angry posts about people trying to provide you with info on a public forum thread, people responding and giving their own opinions is to be expected. No need to get so angry about it
Thought I was pretty clear: I offered him loading pattern excel based auto-calculators for FREE. He seems to think I have an ulterior motive, LOL. Do I sell books, formulate supps for certain companies? Yes. Does that make me a bad guy/someone out to dupe people out of their money?
Hardly.
If I was, I'd be a MAJOR player in the news stand mags paying HUGE money to the mags for multi-page, glossy "advertorials" LOL, have "pro's" endorsing the supplements I formulate and have fancy labels/drug sounding names and/or "better than steroids" claims in my ad copy. Speaking of "pro" endorsements: Do the 15/16 yr old young men getting into this great sport REALLY believe these "pros" got that way, by taking "SuperSupplement X"? I think we knew this, when I was 15 LOL.
So today, "university studies" are offered as "PROOF" SuperSupplementX will make you HOOOOYYYGE! You can see this playing out today, with the "second coming" of "feels like deca". This new version was found in a UNIVERSITY STUDY to build OVER 16lbs of LBM in 12 weeks! And oh, they added 170lbs to their total (SQ/BP/DL)!!! That's OVER 3X's the placebo group!!!
Their are pics of guys will rippling muscles, graphs, charts, scientific reference etc. And one of the biggest supp companies on the planet is pushing it. So they have the "studies" everyone (luckyo? - he seems big on studies), everyone is looking for..
Of course I don't play these games, but this guys seems oblivious to it. The auto-calculator/loading patters that I WAS going to give him for free, would take him (anyone) further than any bottle of pills, powders or potions. The younger generation has been conditioned to believe this just can't be, but let him find out the hard way. He's just starting in his powerlifting journey. Maybe after he wasting thousands of dollars, time and incurring injuries that prevent him from becoming elite he'll figure it out.
Don't bank on it though. He's too paranoid. ANYONE offering to help him (and asks for nothing in return, like me), is suspect. OK I asked for his email address. How else am I to deliver an excel based auto-calculator? Snail mail it to him??
After decades of dealing with these people, it's best to let them go man. Most of them, anyway - see below. Some just can't be helped.
He's one of them...
