There are plenty of other options around for you. 500 posts is both for your benefit as well as GC.
I understand, but things are different at my age. I'm 62 years old and way past my prime. The pic of me in my initial "New Members" post was as far as I ever pushed my body building. Back in 2005 people used to post highly exaggerated photoshopped pics of body builders that we all laughed at in the forums because they were so ridiculous. Now people actually look like that! Rich Piana and Greg Kovacs look like those frickin' photoshopped pics! ... No doubt the new guys will still want to beat these physiques, so on and on it goes.
To me, it's all gone completely nuts! Back when I was on SonsOfIron and TheSourceCheck, there was a commonly shared sense of caution and restraint. Now it's just a free-for-all. ... Everybody does whatever they want!
All I can do is what I did back in those days and offer some "dial it back" advice to the gear extremists, but people didn't want to hear it back then, and they CERTAINLY don't want to hear it now. The next ASF member who followed me in the "New Members" forum listed himself as 36 years old and had been juicing for the past 16 years. That means he started at age 20! To me, that's just crazy! Someone at age 20 who couldn't even legally buy a beer and had no idea about "life" was shoving needles in his ass. ... That's the "new reality" of body building to which I'm now an absolute dinosaur.
I refuse to spam up a forum with insincere words just to generate a satisfactory post count, and typing out 500 "dial it back" posts is like suffering a Sisyphean eternity of reading about people destroying their health for five or so years of looking totally jacked-up. ...
I just can't do that!
I really like GC because my past experience tells me this sponsor is high-quality and safe, but I have way too little to offer to meet their post requirements and I can't bring myself to post a bunch of nonsense just to get there.
... It is what it is.
