Has anyone ever used the term "lunk?"
Hey John, love MD and your in-your-face style of article writing! Keep up the good work!!
Tell me though, when are some of the mainstream BB mags. (e.g. MD, IM, MM, Flex, M&F) going to tell the TRUTH that all of those "juiced/doped to the gills" pro. IFBB BBers appearing in the mags. ads hawking some BB supplement DIDN'T actually "help build their massive muscles" with all of the $$$ supplement crap that they are endorsing/swearing-by!??
I mean, the gullible kids that see these MISLEADING ads in MD (for example) get to thinking that if I spend $$$ for "The Mass Stack", I might look like RC some day...cuz, gosh, that's all of the "anabolic supplementation" I will ever need!
Oh, and in regard to your appearance and pitch on "HBO's Real Sports" about the safety of steroids...yes, possibly if a trainee juiced under STRICT medical supervision it might be safe. But John. the two of us have been around the iron-game long enough (in my case, 51+ years) to know this is practically NEVER, IF EVER, the case!!
Over the decades, I've sadly watched "impatient for BB progress wannabees" get their bags of needles/orals from the local gym's drug guru/dealer and head for home, or simply just shoot-up in the locker room. Medical supervision (are you f*ckin' kidding?!) for what 95% of all juicers!???
And, what makes this even more f*ckin' crazy is that only a mere handful of these heavy, non-medically supervised, recreational BB juicers (even 5%?) will ever compete!?? Madness...talk about impatience and insecurity!!
Maybe someday there will be TRUTH in BB?!! Which mag. writer will have the BALLS to come forth??! Wouldn't it be a "shocker-of-shockers" for a mainstream BB mag. to publish the literal "laundry list" of all of the current, and former, pro. IFBB BBer's premature deaths, and their associated serious health problems experienced(ing) which were/are very apparently doping related!
Personally, I've lost two close friends and weight-training partners to liver cancer due VERY apparently to their heavy non-medically supervised doping/juicing.
At least give credit to Iron Man Magazine...as they tried some 10 looonng years ago to help expose "Bodybuilding's Dirty Little Secret"...just the tip of the apparent iceberg!!
I get the impression that all of the mainstream BB mags are OWNED by the LYING supplement cos....say it isn't so, John!?
