So true. Any time someone ask me about going on gear my first question is “what does your blood work look like?”
It’s always “my insurance doesn’t cover it”, “it’s too expensive”, or “it’s complicated to order.”
Then proceeds to turn around and spend a grand on gear and figures out how to get it and all that goes into that. Sadly, I think it’s because a lot of these guys are just scared of what they “think” it will say.
Hate to tell them though… just because you don’t see your bad bloodwork or blood pressure doesn’t mean it’s not real.
Not trying to derail my own thread though. Compete responsibly and do it because you love it.
