+ 4 A Call to Arms
There are many, ADV,EXP and PRO's out there who for whatever reason are no where to be found in the forums. For the ones that are, you know who you are, and I thank you. I just feel that there is a lot of knowledge floating around out there and unfortunately it's getting lost in the SI pages. Maybe some of you were posting before I joined up and decided to take a break. I get that, I had to do the same thing myself. It wasn't because of the repetitive bull shit posts it was other members attacking each other.
I would just like to see more of you guys pop in every once and a while and comment or post. I understand that there are things that should not be posted in the open, but it doesn't even have to be AAS related. I know there are some diet and training tips that you guys could be dropping. Hell it's easy to inject oil and swallow tabs. If you feel like posting about gear use then even better!
There is just something about the presence of higher ranks that draws views and attention. We have a MOD here that is probably the most active person on here, and if he has time I know others do. I literally have a legal pad full of notes from this site. I hope that it is not a selfish attitude that is keeping you away, or maybe your tag wasn't really earned. I don't know, but I think there needs to be more involvement.
Hopefully you guys at least check out the forums and will see this. I'll post it on every SI if I have to, lol, not really.
I would also like to add that there are some guys out there that don't have these tags, but in my eyes do.

That so true I have people stop and want to talk to me and I never recall one person wanting to know what I eat. It always starts with a few questions and always hops to steroids.
Whats this FEAR OF CARBS! with the youngsters these days ?
I admit, I am also a little fearful of carbs, but one thing I have learned is without them my energy crashes hard. So I stick to good carbs, brown rice, wild rice, quinoa, whole wheat and steel cut oats. 8 weeks in I have grilled 110lbs of chicken breast and will do the next ten tomorrow. I think you will be pleased when I finally put up pics brother.
lol... i got the jist you were loving this one from a few comments you have made the last few days, i kept quiet purposely because i knew deep down this would be your best run ever!... we got the balance and timings with half-lives and shots perfect with this one brother.... i bet this run has learnt you more than the past two years about compound effectiveness when balanced and timed to perfection (always diet dependent) of course.
Diet is key, and still by far the most difficult aspect of all of this. I still have plenty of room for improvement but yes, this cycle I have gotten huge dude! lol. And still leaning down nicely. Not sure if I will end it with a six pack yet but progress is without question.
Now that is what i love to hear... from a cycle that some youngsters would snigger at!...... i love it when intelligent switched on guys can have dramatic cycles and safe at that, with results that rock!... it makes my existence here all worthwhile.and motivates me to keep on giving :))
Very true. There was that lad yesterday, exactly that issue. "My diets great, I eat loads of protein". He literally eats about 50g of crap carbs per day.
The supplement companies do a lot of damage i think with this whole low carb fitness vibe!... i can understand it to a point but you and me are size orientated and only cut carbs pre-comp etc... maybe its us at fault being too blinkered with purist bodybuilding ??
I think it may be the fact that most people do not understand the roll or importance of carbs. They eat bad carbs, get fat. So in their minds it's cut carbs cause they make me fat. Most people just want to lose weight, so they're solution is to not eat.
I was one of these, but it was due to when and how I was getting my carbs.
Or they say, yea that's good and all, but what are you taking?
The guys in the trenches daily helping out deserve a mass of credit, it appears to be such a thankless task for the most part I.e ignorant know it all responses and people simply unwilling to listen.
I personally don't have the years experience and consider myself unqualified to fuck with someone's health even if I have the answer/solution to their particular issue. I feel I still contribute to the site best I can and if someone pm's me for help and I can give an answer based on my own experiences I say so, if I can't, I find someone I know can drop serious knowledge and back it up.
Like I say the guys who put the time into the cycle logs deserve the every karma/credit and the community would be far worse if they weren't around but that's not to say there are others who don't help out in other ways.
Do not put yourself down bro........ you do really well here and play a key part in this community with your personal skill set!.. if you try to leave i,ll drag back with your under crackers and give you a wedgey lmfao!
Wow greatly appreciated coming from you Vike!
Unfortunately a wedgey is out of the question, I roll strictly commando! Especially in Kilt season!!
We all play a part here. You may not have first hand experience with something, but know enough to jump in and tell someone to stop before they mess themselves up. I'm not going to pretend to be something I'm not, but I'm not gonna let someone potentially ruin their health either.
Totally agree mate.
Your post on promo bashing shed light on some things. You are overdue for a comedic post also.
Thanks ;) could be one coming soon lol got some serious inspiration from a hardcore funboy in the gym today my gawd!!
It also lends credibility and usually garners some respect in the forum or post. There will always be ass-hats, but when an advanced members weighs in, it can change the tone of a conversation and can really help the member to listen to the advice that's being given. I know I always appreciate when they weigh in and I usually learn something.
I've had a lot of personal crap going on recently and my fuse has been shorter with all the stupid stuff getting posted. I will, however, make more of an effort to help you guys out "in the trenches", especially the cycles.
I'm on comp prep, so cutting calories and full of tren. I therefore apologise in advance for being more "direct" than usual as a result ;)
Bro, you don't have to apologize for shit. You're here dropping knowledge everyday.
I honestly got tired of seeing all the idiots posting up stupid crap and not listening to me or anyone in the thread .. I just got burnt out for a while .. I'm by far not the smartest guy on here but I know a little something.. That even goes for the noobs I've seen a few of them give better advice then some vets
Guys that are active are coming up fast bro.... to name a few i can think ***PIN, BIRDBEAR, CHAMPION ETC........These guys are gonna be running the show very soon because they are keen as mustard to do well here....... Pro-active and a positive forward direction for eroids.... elders like Catalyst and Rusty are like the glue that keeps these guys together.
Thank you Viking, It means alot coming from you brother! This place is awesome and there's so many cool people with great knowledge to share!! It's all about helping others and inturn you help yourself!! +1 My good sir.
We're tryin vike
thanks for the props brother
They are deff up and coming.. as I will be out like and old cow that's no good anymore for anything and sent to the glue factory.. lmao
haha.. packed away in the shoe box under the bed.
x2, I've blown Birdbear's inbox up with PM's I have no problem referring anyone to him, same goes for Champ.
Thank you pin for the recognition brother; It really feels good helping others bro... it really does.
Ive been through birdbears stuff with a fine tooth comb to be sure he is spot on.......... and the good news is that YES he knows his shit for a younger member, and has the proper attitude to boot!... honest and reliable, i like him a lot.
I value what you say. guys that show knowledge rank up fast. I don't think that tags should be taken lightly, yea karma is just a number or whatever, but new people just joining don't know that, they'll look to the higher ranks it's just human nature.
I agree but I've met a lot of stupid guys with advance tags or high karma ...
Most high rankers that built karma in the cycles/anabolics sections know their shit well and deserve big tags......... others on the other hand have been buddy tagged in the SI threads and have never given info ever!... its clear to see who is worth listening too imo and the jokers can go fuck themselves......... ALL pin-cushion is asking here is for some big tag/high karma menbers to at least give a little pay-back to the community for the karma that they ALL had a passion for at one time or another.
SIDE NOTE!..... another thing Hllywood and myself have been discussing is that in the future when we see the comment "I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT KARMA!" we will be knocking said member back to zero... no matter who he or she is..... BIG FAT 0 should make these ungrateful bastards really happy then..... Promos will then be a thing of the past etc etc etc............ INPUT = OUTPUT..... Thats life.
You are correct .. And I think those guys should be given respect they earned it. There are several members I respect and of course there on my friends .. I agree we should be more active and not leave it to a handful of guys to carry the load..
My point also, maybe some don't post because their level doesn't reflect their knowledge. I've not had much interaction with them other then the ones that are in the forums. But you don't get a PRO tag for just posting gear pics. I would like to hear more from some of those guys.
My PRO tag allowed me to build "eroids street cred"...... i worked hard,look what it gave me!
Just a lousy T-shirt, lol Seriously though, 3020 karma and instant respect and a huge following. I know you had that before this internet forum, but when you speak we all listen. Knowledge is power, and you use your power for the greater good. Like the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.
RustyhookerWe're still here. I'm midcycle so trying to not jump into bees nest anymore than necessary. You and others have been doing great helping folks simplify and redirect. The spring madness is over so the "once a year" cyclers will disappear. Shoukd start seeing all the hard work posted soon in summer post cycle pix. That's when the headaches become worth it all. Seeing your advice got some dude on point, happy and saying thanks.
Same here, 2/3 the way through a cycle that for me has brought much new real experience, I am also very busy with work so I haven't been on as much. Today we were rained out so I will see if there is anywhere I can help. I admit I was getting a little burned out with everything as well, that combined with this cycle has me way more short fused to the point that I type things out and then erase it. Good post Pin Cushion and I will make an honest effort to bring what knowledge I do have to the table.
Cool, that's what it's all about sharing the new experiences. I understand we all have personal lives. I usually only post during work cause I sit in front of a computer all day,lol. When I get home I barely have time to take a dump without someone needing something, haha
You are one of the ones who are here day in and day out. I didn't wan to mention names because I knew I would leave someone out. If more were in here then so few wouldn't have to carry the load. When you are not posting there is a big void to fill. I appreciate the compliments, but I am limited in what I can advise.
Limited but honest is good
Limited but parroting is bad :(
you keep doing what you are doing bro..... absolutely nothing wrong from where i stand :))
X2
Know where you can add value and where you can't. I know EQ cycles and deca cycles better than most, but if you want to know anything about primo runs, only ask me if you need to know how to cock it up!
Thanks. It's all from personal experience and collective knowledge of guys around here. I know you understand where I'm coming from. I think this is something you would like to see more of also.
Thats why i am engaged in this thread now bro............ see if i can "tug a few chains" for you
