misc section in the bb.com forums is the best way to waste away hours everyday p.s. not for the mature
Until now, I had no idea how much we (the ET members posting in this thread) have in common! Amazing! Glad to see the old days of Testosterone being at the "root of evil" is an antequated bullshit theory! Heck, I'm grumpier, and moodier when my levels are low. When normal, or high normal, I experience good mood, no depression, good libido, mental concentration elevated, and just a better quality of life. I am NOT recommending everyone jump on 1,000-2,000mg's of Testosterone per week. LOL! That would be a problem. That's a bodybuilding dose. And yes, too much of a good thing can be bad. i.e., heart disease, hypertension (from the water retention), acne, gynecomastia, etc., Just know that after age 30, you could be running on a low tank, and that's not good. If you feel depressed, tired all the time, can't think straight, can't focus, don't want to "get it on" with the wife as often, are gaining adipose tissue in the abdomen, etc., Get a blood panel from a doc who isn't in the "I"m scared to write you anything club, but will write Testosterone for a Woman wanting to become a Male." No shit! Women wanting to grow facial hair, lose their tits, and literally mecome Male (their clit grows with Test injections sometimes up to 3" :eek: ), can get all the Testosterone they want provided by a doctor. But, a Man wanting to be normal again goes through hell trying to find a doc who isn't scared his patient will start playing pro baseball all of a sudden. There are informative sites out there for US MALES who have questions about Testosterone Replacement Treatment. Some legit, some not.
Testosterone is a beautiful thing. I laugh when some jackass tries to make it evil. They want men to be a bunch of androgynous fucking waifs running around with their razor scooters calling their boyfriend/girlfriends on their sidekick. I knew it all was over the day I saw American Eagle selling extra small shirts in the men's dept.
Crazy stuff. I guess you shouldn't tell your Dr that you work for the post office or are a daytrader as well. My step dad who's in his 50's was a prick before and after getting test injections. Maybe he just needs a lot more to help his mood.
So true!! I notice the kids that are friends with my Sons are these "stringy" skinny looking dudes, with bad hair cuts. LOL! I guess the 110lb soaking wet look is "in." In my opinion, the 70's and 80's were "The Days" for budybuilding. I get strange looks when I go out in a t-shirt, as I guess I'm not "in" in 2008, since I love the Bench press, dead lift, and squat as my core. I think I'm going to go into American Eagle this weekend, and try to try on one of those extra small shirts. It should be a riot! If it's not a stretch shirt, and made of cotton, I'll be paying for a two piece shirt before they ask me to leave the store. (Just kidding. I'm rather civilized )
All you need are those 3 plus some military presses, bent over rows, weighted dips and chins to make up 95% of your routine. I wish more people knew that. Watching people spend all their time doing 5 different types of curls makes me laugh. YAAAA FEEEL THAT BURNNNNN
LOL!!! Yes, and their legs look like sticks, no traps, no chest, no lats, no delts. Just a set of over trained biceps. LOL!!! You're absoultely correct! I wish I had a dollar for every strange bicep workout I see in the gym.
I'll never forget the time I saw some jackass and his buddy shadow boxing with a cable machine. They had the handles in hand, and were punching and dancing around with the plates just clacking up and down as the cables were jerked. LOL One of the funniest things I've ever seen in the gym, workout wise...people wise, well that's a different story. There are some great stories to be told there.
