your argument is with somebody who has competed natural,and has not totally come clean with his knowledge on anabolics's yet
...whole thread few pages back he was featured...
I'm going to be a Dr.? I've had to take endless endo, biochem, and phys classes. Plus I'm a major bodybuilding nerd (no schmoes)...of course I have knowledge about hormones.
Also...my points are referring to "responsible. Reasonable doses". I'm in agreement that a pro BBer cycle is harmful. But if an HRT patient who bodybuilds (like several buds of mine) supplements with some added smaller doses, they will be supraphysiologal and yet show no negative sides or symptoms. I've seen it with my own eyes, I've done physicals on these guys, I've reviewed their blood work.
Who knows what will become of them in 20 years...but currently there is nothin to lead me to believe responsible usage in this situation is harmful.
