my point exactly.if you are good at something (and you clearly are good at getting big) you cant really see things from the pov of one not so good at getting big. you dont even realise that you are good at it, you think its all down to work ethic

I’m not sure. How could I be? PX is in USA and Ive never met him. But I do know that people who succeed at things usually have a talent for them. Its not all down to hard work

Actually, I don’t know that it really was a mistake, but I could be at risk of talking out of my ass now.

After consulting a couple of docs about TRT, it seems that an unassisted early 20 year olds androgen levels would be about what an assisted late 30’s to 40 year old would be trying to achieve.

To many unknowns to speculate further, but Cortes and Frank could very well be in the same ballpark, androgen level wise.

But you dont know for certain as you said that he is talented in BB, so why then claim it all came easy to him? Isnt that making a conclusion based on a assumption?

You’re underestimating what hard work and determination can do, bud.

Am I the only one who thinks that Frank doesn’t really need advice?..or is that assistance? :wink:

I personally think he was “asking” just to be polite. It’s an Asian thing. Oh wait, I think that was racist…

Although it’s impossible to know Frank’s androgen levels without blood tests, it’s much more likely that he meant assisted as in taking TRT, not someone actually cycling (or blasting/cruising) steroids. I also don’t know what Cortes does, but in nearly all cases, a 30-40 year old steroid user (not one taking TRT due to low testosterone, but one taking anabolic steroids for the purpose of muscle/strength gain etc) will be taking a much higher dose of testosterone than an unassisted early-twenties man produces.

No, not really. An increase of 6-700 ng./dl. over the entire volume of blood in a large adult male requires a significant, and depending on half life of the substance being used, consistent dosing schedule.

How DARE you post something relevant to the OP?!

Haha seriously, Frank is a very different, but very impressive human being.

I’m with ID, let’s get this thread back on track.

Prof X, you are continuing to follow me around. Truly I am flattered but you are dragging his thread and forum down with your childish ways.

Please stop your attempts at patronizing me with the “Greggy” thing. You’re supposedly a professional and are clearly not carrying yourself in that manner.

Please stop following me around to nitpick my every post. This is getting old.

Nice accents to the room. Definitely adds ambiance and enhances the aesthetic appeal of the furniture.

Goes quite nicely with Franks poop video.

Frank, can you please explain the purpose of this video? Frank Yang - Suicides (Sprinting while eating 20 bananas and a gallon of milk) - YouTube For mental toughness, humor, or did it serve some type of purpose that isn’t obvious? Also for some odd reason that made me hungry…
