AAS/GH advice...

[Strunk]

Ok, Just a rant. Maybe I'm just getting old in my age or you could say that it's a pet peeve of mine, but it bugs me when I see people posting to threads of people asking for help with supplement help and they don't have a lot of experience with it themselves. These people are posting their own recommendations for "this and that" and they're still a newbie for the most part trying to come off as an expert or someone very knowledgeable. I'm not an expert by any means and that's why you'll never see me posting on these topics. I know that people have to learn somehow, but I see some bad advice being given at times.

I see nothing wrong with prefacing any advice with START LOW if you MUST start. It's also good to maybe name drop that "so and so" wrote such and such on this topic. I know Palumbo and Gavin Kane both get mentioned pretty frequently.

Personally, I'd rather see more people asking diet and training questions. My issue is alot of people don't even seem to have this down...

On a side note: Some of these "gurus" that people look too are also quite foolish in their advice while offering advice for TOO much stuff. I have read some things from several guys that I thought we just stupid. If bodybuilding has turned into a 15-25 compounds per cycle type of venture I think people need to wake up.

i agree with ya 100%

i think they post advice that their gym buddy told them, or they heard through the great vine somewhere.....its the blind leading the blind! there are many things i know next to nothing about and will gladly pass on to someone else who does... i bet if some of these people knew who was giving them advice they would be pretty upset....

shit, it seems as if everyone is an expert now days!

I agree...I will offer what has worked for me just to give them a BASE, but by no means would I say do this and do that...

It seems once someone has a couple months under their belt, they seem to be an "expert." MOst are lazy and want the quick fix...SPEED kills my friends. take the time to read up on things...know what you are putting into your body. just because JOE BLOW says do this and that, does not mean you should jump right on it.

Anyways, I do agree, that there are people out there giving out the wrong advice.

Strunk I agree. This is a very valid point. I believe that unless you are going to step on stage in a non tested comp, you really have no business useing AAS or peptides, unless for a medical reason. And there are damn few medical conditions that call for the use of 1gm or more of a compound per week!! But the inexperienced giving advise to those with no experience is a diesaster waiting to happen. Hell I've seen People that have only ever done one show come through my gyms and proclaim to be a prep expert. or that they actually know how to get someone a serious physique when they themselves have no real credentials or a great physique to start with. I am no expert that's for sure. If I can talk a younger inexperienced person out of going over to the dark side I will. I am still learning and like to gain knowledge. Hopefully it will save someone a lot of problems down the track. Good post Strunk.
