Yea no shit. A-Rob was kickass.

A bunch of soy boys got there panties in a bunch here when they read on how he trained a female BBer. That may have upset him. Who knows.

Im bummed I wasn’t around for John Davies though.

A bunch of soy boys? Give me a break man. A 20 something punk gets out of jail, copies a bunch of material off of legitimate researchers, calls it “his” book and he is an expert??? You guys kill me. Here is a guy that openly claims to use over a gram of anabolics a week non stop and his pictures look like he barely even works out? How much of an expert can he be? Look at his website hell he may be 190 at best. No I don’t think everyone has to be 250 plus but if you even have half a damn clue what you are doing and use that amount of anabolics per week you could not help being larger than he is. I have no personal interest in any of it but it just freakin kills me that someone is an “expert” because ummm well he says he is.

Yeah, “soyboys” sounds about right. This site gets worse and worse every day. It’s sad that an author who isn’t afraid to write about drugs gets criticized so much by people on this “Dangerously Hardcore” site.

In my opinion, he was a great resource.

A. Researching various laboratory studies and applying your own personal experience and compiling that information in a book IS legitimate.

A.1. After all, how many books other than pure fiction are composed of completly original thought. Exactly. People do research, weed out the bad, find the good, add some original thought, and make it a book.

B. One does not have to be huge to justify being on steroids. If a powerlifter in the 198’s is on roids does that mean he know’s jack shit about them just becuase he’s not HUGE? I believe AR has said that he plays rugby. While I don’t know shit about the sport, could it make sense that he needs to be a certain size for a certain position?

B.1. Perhaps the juice is necessary for recovery due to strength training and practice/competition from rugby?

C. Generally, if one has done enough research to write a book, and has taken steroids, they would be more expertlike than the average T-Nationer or person in the general population.

In sum, I don’t know why the fuck you all hate on AR so much. I know he doesn’t need me to “defend” him on here, but it’s annoying to read all of this bullshit.

I’ve met Anthony Roberts. He was one thick SOB. I was about 180 at the time and he was much larger than me.

Yeah…that’ll shut me up.

fuckwad.

too bad the childish line of reasoning stayed.

a lot of people with far more experience have stopped contributing to this board due to his blatant self promotion and arguementative style. while it is fine and dandy that he can write a decent book in a field where previous authors include the likes of nelson montana (who doesn’t know anything about steroids other than they are great) and author l. rea (who can’t spell), it is the least one could expect of an english major.

for the question of his extreme use of chemicals (extreme due to lack of results vs. risk), hey, you follow whatever guru you want, but dr. phil wants to know how that’s working for you. i on the other hand know how it’s working and could care less.

I Agree. Thanks for saying it.

Agreed. A-Rob doesnt need us defending him, but I’ll say it again to the haters above. Fuckin Soy Boys, all of you.

Again, here we go about size. Maybe some people here are overcompensating for something they lack in size in other areas by bulking up to extreme sizes in muscle, but how hard is it to understand that us athlete types dont want to be huge? Deal with it.

Guess what? Lots of medium sized people use AAS for other reasons other than packing on huge amounts of muscle.

27

LOL. Calling people who don’t like someone, “soy boys” is ridiculous.

I read nearly all of his articles and enjoyed them. His articles were “too hardcore” for us mere mortals- I don’t know where you guys pull this shit from.

His responses to criticism were not well received, and he got childish and combative. This had happened before. As a consequence of the ridiculousness, he doesn’t really come around so much.

When you get stomped at a bar, you don’t keep going there- you go somewhere you’ll like better and where there won’t be problems. Same principle.

I respect DD’s opinion though…but hating on those of us who didn’t like him is kind of dumb.

I disagree.

There have been many “authors” here before him. Cy Willson, Brock Strasser, I think Bill Roberts was on here for a while…they provided helpful info/articles in the same way AR did/does. However, none of them caught as much flack or caused such a shit storm. The RJ feud aside…AR’s self promotion and atitude caused the backlash…not his “work” or physique, or goals behind his use of AAS. seems kinda elementary to me.

Again, I’m sorry that I haven’t been around. Essentially, when I first started writing here, I only replied for the 24 hours following my article’s publication. Then I replied a bit more, as time went on…then I got an authors locker room.

Currently, with 2 e-books on the market, and a print book, plus online consultations, my time to post is limited, and I therefore must limit my posting to only a couple of posts per day, out of the numerous sites I’m on. I post on EliteFitness about once a day, Steroid.com a couple of times per day, here about once a week, and MesoRx once a month. Other than that, given the ROI from my making posts on the internet, I find it more beneficial to only post in my Blog, and on my own site:

http://www.anthony-roberts.com/

It’s nothing personal against anybody, just an issue of ROI, in this case.

Tee hee, I’ll be growing my boobs any day now from my massive soy intake of ~3g/day…

Haha. It must be true, it’s on the splash page.

Funny, I like my sources on dangerous pharmecuticals to be factually correct.

Your statement is true. However, as some pointed out on the figure competitor thread, much of the information was inaccurate. Filtering the information you collect correctly is required for legitimacy.

Very few these days, even in the fiction.

That’s the issue.

For what it’s worth, I agree with you completely on this idea. Anyone who disagrees with him just because he isn’t hyooge is an idiot; someone’s publications should be based on merit.

Funny thing is, he attacked many of his critics (who were criticizing the actual work) because they weren’t huge or elite athletes.

True, but it was mostly his responses to other smart people that led to his lack of credibility. Couldn’t seem to discuss things based in fact in a calm manner.

Maybe the type of people in the forum have changed too. They got upset by a little article, and annoyed a author… So what?

I love the drug articles, something ACTUALLY different and often very progressive then alot of other topics. I mean lets face it, Waterbury’s and CT’s programs have given me over 2 years worth of training info, if i try to fit it all in. Nutrition is pretty simple really, now the chem… Allways changing, allways new things… I actually miss Cy’s column…

Id be happy to read more of Anthony’s things. Whether you agree or not he is in the feild doing alot of work. Take it or leave it, he’s to stay.

The only thing that would offend more people would be a column on how to be a pretty boy male model…

O.K. I have used them all, all of the products worked as they were supposed to,I have used, clen, dostinex,t-3,cialis,meridia,a-dex and femera. Packages all arrived via Priority mail within 6-7 days.

The only problem that I have ever experienced was the guys at chem one deleted my order accidently.Now before I finish let me say that with my Chem-one order I gave the wrong billing address.When I realized my mistake and e-mailed them I recieved a reply within the hour and problem solved.When I noticed after 6 days that I had not recieved my order I again e-mailed the guys at chem-one again I recieved a reply within the hour with an honest explanation of the erroneous deletion and a promise that my order would go out next buisness day,it did and I recieved it in 4 days along with $100.00 worth of free dostinex!

Apologies for the long winded and ill written reply however I am seeing in the research chem pissing matches that go on here that chem one has a bad rep for customer service and quite frankly that was not my experience.Did they make a mistake? Sure who doesn’t? They also stepped up admitted it and generously made up for it.The short answer? I’m going with chem one from now on,better prices, good communication, that’s enough for me,just my .02

I couldn’t find the artcle on Women and AAS on the MesoRx website. Any chance you’ll be posting it here also?

Yeah. I didn’t see it either. It’d be interesting to read.

AR is certainly no more childish than many of the posters here who went out of their way at every turn to instigate, or egg him on and cause trouble. Egg him on whether it was or was not relevant to the topic at hand. The only difference is that as a contributor as opposed to a mere forumite he was probably expected to meet a higher standard.
