So I got a question I want to ask to MG members. I see folks post a lot about 200lbs being a litmus test to whether a person takes his fitness serious. Or basically if the person is eating enough and training enough as a reason for them weighing under a certain weight based on their age and height.
So if you all saw a member who is 5'8 and weighs 155lbs and is asking for cycle advice would you automatically think they shouldn't be using gear?
Or would you ask more questions before concluding that he's a clown and doesn't eat enough?
Ive seen a lot of threads end up this way. So let me tell you about an old friend of mine called Popeboy froM another website.
Pope was a buddy of mine from back in 2011. I met him on a Src thread asking about what type of cycle he should run. Turns out Pope weighed like 125-130lbs. Folks immediately jumped his shit and told him he wasn't putting his heart into his training and diet. Well it turned out Pope had a medical issue that didn't let him produce much testosterone. He had a level under 200. Well I took him serious when he told me that. Coming from being diagnosed low t myself I wanted to help. So myself and a few others like Tread a partner of mine made friend with him and we all helped him out wherever we could.
He ran a stack of test and then some test and deck and fuck the kid changed his life around. He took food serious. He hit the gym he finally got the energy and hormones that he could not produce endogenously. He did so well he literally had a manager from his gym ask if they could take pictures of him and make him a poster boy for his gym. He could not do that without exogenous hormones. Plain and simple. AAS allows our bodies to work outside of our DNA. It allows us to process nutrients in ways we were never able to. Protein synthesis from Deca is legendary. Structured feed times shuttled these nutrients to muscles alive with saturated blood plasma. our bodies work much more effectively with AAS. Plain and simple. If not then why do all of us use gear If not to work outside of our natural limits?
Another example is a childhood friend. He is a fireman. I've known him my whole childhood til now. He's 5'7-5'8 155-160lbs 7-8% BF. anyone who knows firemen know they eat like kings. Not junk either. Lots of red meat chicken fish like salmon and halibut. Only the expensive shit too. They train everyday. The work hard everyday when theyre on a call. He eats well over 4k calories a day. Takes fitness and training serious. Former varsity soccer player and runner in high school. Played semi pro indoor soccer. He's an athlete and one of the best motors out of anyone I've ever known. But his current DNA and metabolism doesn't let him gain mass. he could gain some weight from eating 5k 6k calories a day but it won't be any kind of long term lean muscle mass. I think if he added AAS it would allow his body to process his nutrients much more efficiently and it would help with protein synthesis greatly. It would help his body work outside of his natural limits. Isn't that what gear is for? To help us achieve what our natural limits do not allow? If not then why do we use aas?
So im just looking to open an dialogue and not say which is right or wrong. I figured it would be a good conversation and help all of us understand our goals a little more. What rules apply for me might not apply for you and so on and so forth. For each of us there is a "why". Why are we using gear? Is it to be a bodybuilder? TrT? Sports? Recreational bodybuilder? Come on folks chime in and let's see where it takes us. I'd like to get to know more about MG members And what our opinions are on this topic.
