I can’t drive long distances without getting pain in my hip and a completely dead left leg. That’s why I ride a motorbike every damn day of the year.

It’s really just to drive clicks and attention. Money follows attention, that’s never been more true than in our social media age. Contrarians get a lot of attention.
Skeptical attitude, nerdy glasses, ultra groomed beard? Many Clicks!
My favorite contrarian is so contrary that he even wrote an entire book CONTRADICTING HIMSELF!
Some guys are even think they know better than Sir Isaac Newton!
After a front squat PR yesterday my abs and obliques especially are really sore. So sore that it’s making going to the toilet extremely difficult.
Metamucil + coffee. It’s like rocket fuel
In retrospect I should have posted his first set and not the last…. Since signs of fatigue are pretty obvious.
On top of that posting it on my part is overkill since I probably already made my point. But , in my defense being that I was raised in a farming family I learned that “ One ,never leaves a job half done.”

Confession: I tell myself every day that I won’t and sometimes I get to two or three days, but I cannot beat my addiction to 2x 750ml bottles of dare iced coffee
If this is how people feel having an addiction to cigarettes, alcohol or tren idk but fuck me sideways, I just can’t break this habit…

Today is the wife’s birthday and I remembered presents, for the kids to make cards and even remembered to pick up a nice cake on the way home. I give myself 8/10 this year, would have said 9 but the ride home on the motorbike mangled the cake a little bit !!!

Caffeine in energy drinks is what has me beat lately. The more tired I get and the less willpower I have when I get to smoko the more chance that I cave for a quick fix.

That’s a funny way to say “I am not very good at counting calories.”

I wish that were true
Follow up confession: I count meticulously.
I actually sit in an office all day is, I think, the real problem.
But wow what happened to flame free?

I think in a few post that I have mentioned that I take a rational point of view regarding the use of Anabolics , based on my own reading and observation of friends whom are heavy into their use over the years. As I have state I am good with it within reason. Problem is I see people whom have based a opinion solely on very little fact or or on what someone else has said and are just going along with that mind set to be part of the crowd. I just read the most ignorant view point else where and I just have to rant about it!!
What really floors me is I cant believe guys want to actually lump TRT when prescribed by a actual Doctor (not a shady clinic) say a urologist or endocrinologist for treatment of actual diagnosed issues like Hypogonadism and so forth. these natty zealots will wave the Natty banner and condemn someone , The exact same way as some damn Gym Bro whom is taking in allot of cases 10 times that amount what a actual Doc would prescribed.Old friend of mine had cancer and lost both of his testicles… Yet some zealots would say its wrong for him to go on TRT? Give me a Break!! Ironically no one ever questions the need for someone to take insulin for medical needs when it is also anabolic in nature .

I agree to a point, but to me it actually raises the question over the validity of the banner ‘natty’.
Should someone with Hypogonadism be taking TRT? Hell yes, likewise if your bloods come back and tell you that you have the T level of a 90 year old woman, get on TRT, I have every intention of doing so myself if / when the time comes.
However, say you are an average man, with a very average Testosterone level, lets call it 400 (on an arbitrary scale of 0-800 for arguments sake, 800 being the highest end of naturally attainable T levels.), and someone with low T, say 200, gets put on TRT that means he cruises at 700 going forward.
Would this not be a huge advantage over the ‘average’ guy?
Certainly not saying anyone should be condemned for their use, but does raise valid questions over whether people on TRT should be considered ‘natty’ or whether their results should be compared as such.

@Pinkylifting actually you make some good points and I believe their have been threads on here about that.
My view point what does it really if a guy is Natty or not? Unless a guy is actively competing in organizations where use of PED’s are against established rules. The annoying thing is allot of guys on line whom get uptight about it either do not compete at any level or have no plans on doing so in allot of cases. For guys whom compete or plans on doing so…yeah they have every right to be uptight. I guess what rubs me the wrong way is when you have these guys who do not even look like they lift and they know jack and shit to begin with wanting to beat the whole NATTY thing to death.

You sound surprised 
As for the rest of your point, couldn’t agree more. Hence why I question the catchall banner ‘natty’, and why do we need to have that line in the sand outside of, as you say, competitions.
As for people who don’t even look like they lift beating to death the natty topic, I work on the assumption that they see the bar of ‘good physique’ as being too high, and therefore try to lower the bar rather than raise themselves. If they can achieve mass consensus on the idea that most people who look like they lift are on steroids, then they don’t have to achieve all that much.

This has been the assumption I’ve been running with as well. I don’t really get hot and bothered by the subject because as Bulldog said:
…so I try not to get intertwined with their shenanigans.
