The right amount is perfect, however too much of the male hormone will mimmick the similar qualities seen in alzheimers !!

Hmmmmmm ...... They asked Ronnie Coleman about this he replied:

"Two much iz neber a bat thing! You gatta lif da big wayt to be da big man! Wat da thin you iz askin ?"

Yeah he gets to enjoy that for the next 3 to five years that he will live..... And if you think he is 'rich' then you have no idea about what wealth is.

Srg D, the study was conducted with indivivduals recieving testosterone through injection. I do not think they will ever have a big enough sample of men who will partake in a study investigating testosterone ingested straight from the tap. If they do, they know where to reach you.

its a common misconseption to think that rich people are somewhat smart... market pays most money for crap, like pop music and stupid action movies - so people who participate in there get the wealth...I would hardly call 75% of the pop/rap/rock people "smart"

And yeah, Ronnie is dumb - but he is a bber, not a friggin scientist. We come to look at his physique, not to hear him talk.

If he is dumb then I guess every accountant out there in the world is dumb too, because he passed all the same classes as them via his degree in accounting from Grambling....  but your right most college grads are below average intelligents... ::)

Grambling is not considered a top notch institution, no disrespect but its no where in the same league as NYU,Comlumbia,or Rutgers

so because it is not considered top notch that makes everyone that graduated from that institution dumb?  i mean the required classes are still the same right?  and Ronnie didn't just graduate, he graduated magna cum laude, which means he took honors classes and met all the honors requirments for GPA...

well congrats to ronnie and all, but ill send my taxes somewhere else... the study was talking about those who have taken extreme extra amounts of testosterone. When Ronnie went to school, he was not on steroids, thus no brain damage... nowadays he cant even remember when to call Dan and Chick for PBW. He does not sound the least bit intelligent, and you can notice the diffrence from interviews over the years, he has turned from sounding like Carlton to sounding like the dad from Friday.

but his interpersonal communication skills have nothing to do with his intelligents...  Most autistic children are insanely intelligent, but they don't even respond to you.

dizzleman, must you find fault with everything I post ?
So how many autistic millionaires are you familar with ?
Title: Re: Too much Testosterone kills brain cells !!!
Post by: jaejonna on September 28, 2006, 08:57:20 AM
Becoming a millionaire has more to do with character, communication skills, emotional control and persistence than pure intelligence regarding academic things.
that and some luck too

I am not intentionally finding fault with everything you post, i just happen to disagree with what you are saying about Ronnie being dumb, i mean i have met the guy several times and he just seems really quiet until you get to know him...  I am not trying to get you to take it back, just stating my opinion as i know you were...

exactly...you have to have something in your head, but other fundemantal characteristics are important...just being good with numbers or having read lots of books is not enough

Common misconception,  autism occurs in all echelons of society and has hardly a correlation with intelligence. The idea of autists automatically being 'idiots savants' is thanks to Rainman. Autists can be very preoccupied/obesessive however.

A lot of millionairs are people that had a good marketable idea at the right time. This can be achieved without having too much skills whatsoever. If you want to become a milionair via the management ladder skills become much more important, although there's always a lot of nepotism going on.

Why do people always say Once this graduated this he's smart. You can graduate whatever you want but remain stupid A good quote from classic

At the table in my study, bending low over some book or preparation, sits John Smithed, my demonstrator, a modest and industrious but by no means clever man of five-and-thirty, already bald and corpulent; he works from morning to night, reads a lot, remembers well everything he has read -- and in that way he is not a man, but pure gold; in all else he is a carthorse or, in other words, a learned dullard. The carthorse characteristics that show his lack of talent are these: his outlook is narrow and sharply limited by his specialty; outside his special branch he is simple as a child.

Indeed! In assesments of people with an academic degree (master in this case) only half of these people actually have academic skills and intelligence. Hard work can make up for a lack of skills in some cases, on the workfloor those people might fail because of slow decision making and inability to manage multiple tasks. Some people that have relatively simple tasks can have certain talents that get them into highstress jobs like flight-control-operators. When they recruit flighcontrollers they don't look for degrees anymore but for skills, they challenge you to do some tasks to see if your fit to join the program.

IFBB Pros are quite probably the heaviest users of Testosterone in the world, so it would honestly be interesting if they would (anonymously of course) take part in a study of their brain functions.

It would give extensive knowledge as to what effects the use of Testosterone has on brain function.

It would, so to speak, finalize the discussion. We would definitely know if there is any danger.

i bet the massive dosage of HGH prevents the breakdown.  i know under normal circumstances we're born with a finite amount of brain cells, but we know hgh causes hyperplasia so maybe it can regrow brain cells as well.
