1. I’ve read most of this before. Bill (or Pat, or the other Bill, or some vet/mod) has said most of this before.
My answer: Agreed. Bill (same last name as me, no relation to me) wrote an article for ****Rx where he said 75% of the same stuff as did. His conclusion was that esters do not effect anabolic effects, nor aromatization…I forget if he mentions 5aR, but if he does, he logically wouldn’t come to the same conclusion as me.
75-85% of what I said in my article has been said a million times before, in every popular ester thread. The final 15-25% is totally different. That’s the point. Esters still work in the same way, but my article shows that they also do something else.
2. Everyone already knew this.
My answer: That’s possible. But I’ve done a search on every site where somebody made this claim, and found that all of the “Educational threads” and every answer given by the members and the staff - never mentions esters influencing aromatization/5aR/anabolic-properties.
So while it’s possible that everyone knows this, and knew it already, nobody has ever said it. Neither of the Bills, not Pat, etc. Everyone on the internet, on every major steroid site, has said the opposite of what my article says in the conclusion.
3. Most of this has been said before.
My Answer: True. But the parts that haven’t been said before are the important parts.
And as a side note, most of everything has been said before. We’re trying to advance knowledge by small amounts. This was a comparative leap in our level of knowledge. But not everything has to be original to be well done…An example is Pat’s first monthly column for MD…he reviewed GHRP-6, and said nothing different than I said in my GHRP-6 profile on ****Rx months earlier (or my Hex/GHRP-6 article from over a year ago); not a single different or new piece of information. But so what? It was germane and many people don’t know about it yet.
4.Roberts is a dick. This Mod/Vet/M.D./Everyone says so.
My Answer: Agreed. But the article isn’t about me.
5. I think the article is wrong.
My Answer: Then provide a superior hypothesis. Why do we bloat more on long esters, even when the test dose is the same. Also, explain why the primary study that I used is titled “Pharmacokinetics and Degree of Aromatization Rather Than Total Dose of Different Preparations Determine the Effects of Testosterone”, if I’m wrong. Because that entire study says I’m correct.
But here’s the thing…The article has been read by thousands of people already, most of whom recognize it to be correct….so, within a year, it will be “fact” unless a better article refutes it, or provides a stronger case for another paradigm. Still, I encourage people to discuss it and its implications; I’ve even provided some answers for the common comments about it.
6. You should be open to discussion about it.
My Answer: I am. I sent an advanced copy of the article out to several people, for discussion. I discussed it with professionals in the fitness industry, bodybuilders, a Doctor, and several trainers and coaches. I’m open to discussion with them, not every yahoo on the internet. Sorry. But you can always e-mail me (AnthonyRoberts@************.com) if you have something to say.
When I write an article, my obligation is to tell the truth, and educate people who choose to read it. Furthermore, I like to come out with unique, new, and original ideas whenever I can. I do this, the article gets published, I get paid, and that’s the end of it. Usually, I read comments about it, but I don’t reply.
