I am a very new member compared to most of you guys. And I know I don't
contribute a whole ton to the forum. I lurk mostly other than a couple of logs I
did. But I greatly enjoy reading on here when I find the time and I wish I knew
many of you in person. It seems that knowledgeable people are much easier to
come by on the forum. I'm so tired of the hearing the "bro science" that gets
passed around. Even personal trainers and guys on good amounts of gear don't
know what they are talking about a lot of times. It's one thing to not be very
informed, but to pass misinformation along as if you actually know it to be fact
is so irritating to me. I am by no means an expert an any subject but I will at
least use google before telling people that all white rice is bleached, or doing
sit-ups will burn fat on your stomach! I appreciate that so many on here aspire
to acquire knowledge, and that we have some high level athletes involved as
well. I find it odd when coaches or athletes will disagree with something I've
read on a forum, they act is if people on here are lying not very reputable. I
know anyone could potentially pretend to be anyone and occasionally someone
does make a fake profile or probably lie about amounts of gear usage for some
reason or another. But for the most part I think many are genuine and you can
tell by the information provided they aren't just on here spewing bs.
