    I like the professionalism and matter of fact message. I also liked the use of references because it gives validity to everything AR said. The use of references lets the viewer know that its not just some made up dogma that is being spitted out of AR or BC's mouth. This is also good for any None Pro Steroid viewers watching, (Doctors, Lawyers, LE, ect) because the message should really be intended for those who are ignorant of the Pro-Steroid position.

    So i vote for more referenced videos so that when the validity of the message is in question, someone can easily go and find the informations themselves. Thats what makes this message different from the mainstream medias interviews with "experts" that give people the spin on information to put steroids in a negative light.

    What I didnt like from a few videos ago was the use of profanity in the video. I know that it was an april fouls joke and I personally found it hilarious. Having said that it doesnt show professionalism and can cause a complete loss of credibility with views that are not frequent visitors to the Forum. Later on down the road if these videos make an impact on the mainstream media. Videos like that could be used and most certainly would be used negatively by whatever media outlet that chooses to try to discredit Steroid.Com. They would simple say "look at these meatheads that cant even act civil, See perfect example of roid rage," or some unfair crap like that.

    Just my humble take on things. I am 99% happy with the all the videos except for that one thing. Not trying to stir the pot up, but just trying to give a take that a nay sayer or a skeptic would to help those who make the video's out.

    Good Job, keep bringing the messages out.

    I agree on that post completely. Some jokes are fine to have in the video feeds IE: Anthony placing third in the office pool, brought a grin to my face.

    I'm noticing lots of threads get made up and usually half of them are because diet is really out of sync. Perhaps a video is needed or might help on how steroids 'Are not the end-all-be-all' miracle drug for those trying to gain weight, but taking proper care of yourself (diet, sleep, no alcohol) is?

    That is an awsome idea about making a video about diet and AAS not being "magic beans"

    The side notes are way too much of a distraction. I can prove this, too. My question to everyone:

    While the fun fact about Anthony placing third in the office pool was up, what did Anthony actually say? Can you truthfully answer this without going back and watching the video again? I'm guessing probably not.

    Feeding the audience two seperate pieces of information, one funny, and one serious at the same time can detract from one, or both messages entirely.
    You can't have Anthony talking statistics and trying to inform us while there is something funny on the screen at the same time. This is especially true when you're trying to bring truth to people that have been fed lies about steroids for so many years.

    I think the posting of the sources however was brilliant and brings much more credibility to everything said in the videos.

    In all honesty, you guys do a great job on the videos, but you really do need to keep the jokes out if you want these videos to hit a mainstream audience to educate them.

    I also have to comment on this part in bold and agree with it 100% as well.

    I'm assuming the upcoming Anabolic Review series will be along much more refined and professional lines, with well thought out over all presentations.

    I think they are great... pick apart the media and "myths" of anabolics one topic at a time to give a different perspective.. A lot more impressive and creative on the topics and information than I had initially anticipated.... We know all the bad publicity out there and with these videos basically grabbing one thing at a time and debunk the myth with credible information.

    Excellent work!!... I still think you should consider a topic once a week.... Add maybe another minute or two longer on the videos so that you don't run out of topics and you actually have the opportunity to maybe hit on some of the important subjects a little more in depth... I was just thinking you might start struggling for topics yet, still have a lot more to say about certain things already covered....my 2cents

    Overall I look forward to them all the time... THANKS!

    Life as perfectionist and very competitive. Anthony was finishing up his sentence when the pop-up came to the right. Subjecting a small dose of humor into a serious report honestly gets me paying attention a lot more rather then just statistics and facts pulled. I've presented plenty of seminars and many of the best don't just go fact after fact after reference, as quickly even the most dedicated student or person sitting will start to dose off. Humor is a bit of spice, it works well and I found that with the case here.

    I'm not bashing at all what your saying, but gotta remember many people think of "juicers" as those hardcore scream-o guys at the gym who have no life, humor or understanding. We are created to intimidate and eat, and shoot needles. Humor breaks that ice and closes that gap between a mainstream audience and those who use AAS. Just my 2 cents

    Has any form of PCT been discussed for that matter? Or ANY of the steroid profiles gone over? There's a true plethora of information in our libraries that can be transferred to video for insightful watching, IE: Pick a steroid, discuss what you can expect, what you may not expect (acne, increased aggresion with certain AAS, hairloss or DHT ect..) There's so many video's to be able to do here guys, keep it up!

    There will be 2 profiles done per week. Anthony is summarizing them all up into 3 minute video profiles currently. Every profile will be done, as well as the major articles on the home page.

    I agree too that humor is great when presenting a speech or seminar. The humor must be properly timed too, though. If you truly and honestly watched the video without reading my post about conflicting messages with the humor, then you're a far greater multitasker than I truly will ever be
    I honestly had no clue what he was saying and was concentrating far more on what was coming up on the sidenotes.

    For me, when there are facts being presented and humor simultaneously, I'll pay attention to the humor. The video was kind of like seeing Anthony talk about steroids while a stand-up comedian was performing next to him. I was listening to the comedian!

    Again, you're completely correct about humor in presentations, it's just the humor in the video wasn't timed properly to coordinate with getting the message across to the viewer (for me at least).

    My feelings to the tee. Vids to represent us to the mainstream with absolute professionalism and vids just for us to educate concerning importance of proper diet and such, and all that.

    Keep up the great work boys cause it can only get better from here on out...
