Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Testosterone Replacement Therapy is a newer similar scam in that the Free Testosterone number means little when you don't take into account that different people have varying levels of androgen receptor density that affects how they respond to testosterone. There are men who are clinically "low-T" who have no symptoms because they have high sensitivity from their genetics and still grow muscle easily, hence why they tend to blow up like crazy if they go on PEDs. On the other side there are weak responders who have such poor receptor density that you can pump them full of test or PEDs and they still stay relatively weak.
Also don't forget that going on either essentially makes you an addict as your body will shut down it's own testosterone production and potentially make you dependent on the TRT for the rest of your life to maintain normal levels. If you go off of it you muscle quickly starts to waste away like all those former Mr Olympia who don't look anything like in their prime while lifetime nattys can hold onto their gains all the way into old age. That's why we have the saying that "roid gains are rented gains."
