So he’s the gate keeping authority that has the right to test people
He’s the oldest in the game… maybe.
Being old doesn’t mean one is entitled to be respected. It just means you’ve done the bare minimum of not dying.
He claimed to be doing this longer than Dante, John Meadows, etc.
nobody called him out on it?
He’s not a person who has done fuck all for very long. Age is a number of years but it doesn’t mean experience or wisdom.
Is it safe to assume from the little bit that I did read it was a bunch of posts of him jerking hisself off with delusions of grandeur?
If he is saying that he is 100% full of shit! Of course, his definition of 'doing this' will move goal posts to fit his narrative. If he simply means lifting a weight before most people because he is older, then he may be correct, but his impact on the community was non-existent until fairly recently. I'm going to assume since he has pride in not hiding behind a handle name, that he did not participate on any other forums until fairly recently. I 100% never heard of this guy until just years back, and if he was anybody within the field of our community, or research, his name would have been known. We all descended online from misc.fitness.weights back in the 90's (mfw), and he was not around. He was not on any of the handful of forums in the 90's either that followed mfw. He was not posting about anything through the 2000's, nothing. Why had nobody even heard of this guy if he was making an impact when all this was going on? If I am wrong on this, then I will stand corrected.
I am certain that GotGame was the first person who I read that posted about using ARB's etc for heart health and prevention of cardiac remodeling. He may have come onto ProM after Disco, but he was on WCBB posting about it, and prior to that, he was on AFboard/AnabolicFitness prior to 2010. I'm not saying he was the first everywhere, but he was the one I remember promoting them for prevention of cardiac remodeling. I'm not sure if Nandi et al ever mentioned them for that purpose on CEM, but they may have. They for sure talked about using BP meds for kidney and HTN health.
I know this thread got swayed in different directions, but there has always been mostly 2 groups of users since i've been using them in the 90's....1) Those who use (or abuse) for overall size and freakiness, and 2) Those who use for overall health, Whether it be just trt, 10mg/d (Emeric), or trt+, a lot of this stuff has been just retitled over the years. Not saying we haven't learned more over the years, but the overall jist of use has either been for size or health.
I will listen to anybody who is giving correct info, and I will honor their opinions from their own experiences, but anybody who self-titles themself as a guru is a major turn-off.
I would 100% prefer any advice that Scott Stevenson (Homonunculus) gave, he is legit AF! It's funny that somebody would try to kick down Scott. <--Assuming that it is true.
BTW...I don't frown on anybody who pops up and gives legit info, whether they are new or have been around for decades....correct info is correct info.
Anyway...i'm not even sure what i'm even getting at by this point with my post, lol!!!
