C'mon now. There's enough information on this board and even in this thread to more than answer the gentleman's question. I have to wonder when you say "If it was okay for us," if you even are "one of us" I never posted that he should or shouldn't add anything - just information. And more importantly, when was it okay for "us"? What you are reading from the "us" that you mentioned is what I think is experience. WE advise people to train to their max first and if they then choose to go about hormone replacement, doing it slow because we've already experienced terribly unbalanced hormones (HPGA), gynecomastia, hair loss, shrunken balls, backne, and WE have watched our friends with heart problems, liver problems, torn tendons, shoulder damage, torn quads, sexual dysfunction, relationship problems, etc. Then there are the problems you rarely see: insecurity, bigorexia, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and all sorts of unpleasant things. WE look at our friends with these problems and feel sympathy for them. WE look back at ourselves and wish we could do some things different - with more advice and knowledge. Some lucky ones experiences none of these things. Some experienced a few. The point is that there was no place for us to go to learn about these things when we first took that step. Now I ask you, why the hell would any one of us that has been there and watched for years as these things occurred all around us, then go and tell a young man or woman to whoop it up on the gear, no harm done? What kind of person does that?
