Who’s slinging mud? If that’s what’s come across that isn’t the intent. I don’t believe in his approach, that isn’t condemning him as a person.
As far as “abuse,” let’s not be obtuse. We can say, relatively, that 5 grams is far more abusive than 1 gram is. This isn’t rocket science. It also isn’t judgement. I think it’s silly, but that’s his decision to make.
Morning
@Mac11wildcat I’m a fan of yours.
Candidly I’m starting to like Chase. I wasn’t referring to you with the comment about slinging mud, I was actually differentiating between the discourse you were having and 1 or two others.
Most certainly has been some mud slinging before and after his arrival to the thread. Even incitement of it by one or two members when it calmed down.
I’m not being slow to understand anything. You make my point on “abuse”. It is entirely subjective and not necessarily objective. I find our premise that we can label 10x biological levels (up to a gram) of non exogenous hormones “safe” but somehow doing 3-5 times that is “abuse”.
Lifting is “abusive” by most people’s standards. To the skeletal system, to joints and tendons, to the organs, to mental state for some. Most extreme things are and we certainly push limits. Saying one persons limits are “abusive” and another aren’t when we are candidly drawing an arbitrary line seems a bit hypocritical to me.
Certainly it is _less_ abusive to do up to 1g exogenous hormones, but I have a hard time saying one is essentially right and one is nonsense or wrong. Particularly since people respond so differently across the spectrum.
Let’s discuss the merits. The return on investment, the why and the how. Let’s debate who is on those levels and more at the Pro level (probably a mix across the spectrum). Heck, let’s discuss/debate the impact of being so transparent to youth and the uneducated or educated folks starting out.
Let’s just not say one is “abuse” and try to pretend the other isn’t in the name of harm reduction.
