Better yet, I came back from vacation to this.
Guys, seriously?
The Internet being what it is, people are (unfortunately) free to claim to be whoever/whatever they like, whether that’s a 400-pound bencher or a highly experienced medical professional. But anyone with half a brain and one working eye should be able to spot bullshit when it’s laid down.
We do have a neat thing called post history, like when a member has consistently shown to provide useful advice for the over 12 years while another member openly admits to being a beginner.
Be that as it may, people are encouraged to decide for themselves who to take advice from and who to ignore. However, any member is certainly welcome (dare I say encouraged) to start a “Credentials Thread” here in TRT where the folks who like to dish out advice can collectively, in one fell swoop, let other folks know why they’re so confident providing the advice they do.
Seeing as how TRT (and Pharma, FWIW) can impact user’s health in a serious way, it’s not the worst idea in the world especially since many active members in the TRT forum tend to avoid the training and nutrition-related forums (letalone the current check-in thread), as if adding TRT without addressing diet and exercise is a lasting solution to improving health.
It’ll hopefully be enlightening to see how many “I read a lot of stuff and some of it worked for me”-types of entries there are.
