The "weight Qualifier".

Valid points to be heard here..I think that it is kinda like "like father like son" syndrome.By that I mean most everyone gets put thru the ringer when they try and enter the world of AAS. Sooo therefore they feel it is almost like a right of passage that you must go thru the guantlet,if you will, before you are worthy/ready to recieve help.Not saying that this is all bad s it gives the newbie a chance to do more research and take a second look at thier motives/goals.

I started doing them when I was about 155 bear in mind I am 5'6" was I a little early? maybe. but I would never suggest a 140lb guy do a cycle I think its ok to assume a ht/wt ratio when it comes to natural ability within reason. I am now 195 and usually I keep most of my gains.

This really seems to hit home. I was jumped all over about my first cycle, jumped all over about my 2nd and current cycle, but I"m 43 and know how to do friggin research. It is pretty damn annoying when some 23yo is making a bunch of assumptions about what I do and do not know and effectively talking out their ass in an immature way to me while offering their 'advice' or 'guidance'. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and I do not ignore input, suggestions, cautions, etc, particularly if they are put to me in a mature way. I might decide to not follow the specific advice in the end but I sure as heck won't dismiss it out of hand, especially if it was something that I was not already aware of as a potential concern/risk/etc.
