What, you're saying you don't want to hang out on a board where the typical post goes something like:
"What kind of pill can I take that will get me all hyooooooge and ryppped?", or
"Hey! I've been lifting weights every day for 2 whole weeks now and I'm not getting any bigger! What's wrong? Am I a "hardgainer", or should I look into taking steroids?"
Good point.
Magazines like Muscle & Fitness and Flex are to blame. Deceitful and manipulative.
Its sad how a publication can feature page after page of bodybuilders spending an extraordinary amount of money on pharmaceuticals, yet the only mention of steroids is the occasional scare-tactic where they lead readers to believe that bodybuilders use them sparingly and are thoroughly educated and aware of the longterm health risks.
Only to then publish an article "Big Arms In 8 Weeks" that consists of machine and cable curl variations.
The ignorance is somewhat comical but is only perpetuated by a shameless industry intent on selling false promises.
