+ 8 Eroiders, get in where you fit in.
There has been a lot of discussion on what can be done to fix some of the issues we have on this site. Things like how to and when to give advice and who should or shouldn't receive it. What should or shouldn't be advised as a cycle choice. What is ok and not as far as compounds. What can be done to repair the karma system and how do we show our true level of experience etc. Some of these issues are being worked out now. The karma system will get a makeover soon. I have an idea on a first step in the right direction. That score under your name is nothing more than a popularity contest IMO. Most of the active members DONT carry the tag that fits them as far as real world experience and knowledge. Myself included. My tag should say Jedi master. ;-)
Anyway, I'm asking everyone who sees this post to leave a comment putting the appropriate number next to their name.
Just an unofficial poll. Im not keeping score and nobody is going to have to prove their claim. We want to get a basic idea of which group you identify yourself with. It would be nice to have some kind of demographic.
1)•Competitive bodybuilder (I eat, sleep and breathe bodybuilding)
2)• Non-competitive Bodybuilder (just enjoy lifting and watching progress)
3)•Endurance athlete (fighters included). Amateur of pro. Isn't relevant.
4)•Testosterone replacement therapy patient
5)•Power lifter/ strong man
6)•Average Joe getting in and staying in shape for overall health
7)•None of the above.....(please elaborate)
Again, this is nothing official. Just a little something to give a better idea of how everyone identifies themselves. Grazie
Of 181 participants, these are the results thus far. I think it paints a pretty accurate picture of the demographic.
1)•Competitive bodybuilder (I eat, sleep and breathe bodybuilding). 18
2)• Non-competitive Bodybuilder (just enjoy lifting and watching progress). 73
3)•Endurance athlete (fighters included). Amateur of pro. Isn't relevant. 12
4)•Testosterone replacement therapy patient. 22
5)•Power lifter/ strong man. 13
6)•Average Joe getting in and staying in shape for overall health.39
7)•None of the above.....(please elaborate). 4
I think this is right.

Please elaborate, oh, you did... that category is 7
Is this some sort of sarcasm? Should I have just not responded?
Greg speaks three languages fluently. English, sexual innuendos and sarcasm.
God forbid you get some combination of the three, consider yourself royally fucked.
6/2
2/5 like looking good and being strong

2 for me
The only category I find doesn't really apply if your a member here is #6. Let's be honest, we can run cycles appropriately, get bloods regularly and take all the proper measures and precautions but no one is going to convince me that using more than a TRT dose is healthy. We use steroids to enhance our appearance not because it is healthy. Plenty of people look really good, are very fit and extremely healthy but don't use steroids. If we were so concerned with our health we wouldn't use steroids... At least that's the way I look at it.
AnonTrue
I'm surprisingly in decent health according to this years check up
Maybe "health" should be replaced with "feeling of well being and aesthetics"
That is a damn good point.
Agreed. I think a lot of people confuse feeling/looking good with being in good health.
I'm a 2 and 4 type with intentions to do physique next year.
Where my fellow competitive powerlifters at..?!
we are a dying breed apparantly.
We like to lurk in the shadows. Save the limelight for the bodybuilders
Id be interested to see an option for non-competitive powerlifting, just as there's non-competitive bodybuilding.
Us powerlifters don't get the same lovin' that the bodybuilders get ;)
haha, I can see that. There's about 3 categories for BBers, and only one for power lifters... Half if you wanna get technical since you share it with strongmen.
AnonHahahaha that's a good one
Lmao good point.. We're allocated half a catgegory.. What gives Nitti >;)
Thats because while the bodybuilders are counting calories we are counting slices of pizza lol. I still eat whatever I want and push myself to the limit with the rack and stay at 16% BF where i am really happy.
I believe a famous BBer once said.. Errybody wanna be a powerlifter but don't nobody wanna eat all this pizza. Wait, that doesn't seem right.
lol That is as right as it will ever get.

AnonWe're over at the imporium
2 and 4
AnonI use to be a 3 when I was fighting but I am and have been a non competitive bodybuilder and have been for years thru trial and error and have used most compounds numerous times
And I am also a trt patient
I would say 2 and maybe 6 but I am maybe a lil better than average lol
5.
DCHI13 and 6.
So maybe 2 and 6 should be somehow grouped together. I was considering someone could want to be fit and healthy without being a bodybuilder. If you think you can lay out a different set of categories, i'm all ears.,
Now I'm moreso a 2, whereas before in college I was a 3 & 5...
4 & 6. Used to be a 2 when I was younger, but those days have past.
2
stunnerhr2 and 5.
2 with a 7 as well.
I enjoy studying cycle logs and trial runs. I considered a master debater lol of the "juicer " community in my area. Meaning when someone is willing to engage in a debate about steroid usage I'm glad to help educate them about the pros and cons of the lifestyle and if someone more knowledgeable educates me as well awesome. Also use myself as a deterrent to younger guys wantin to get in the game too soon. Everyone should be like that but not everyone is able to deal with the ignorant responses you sometimes get.
2/6 and nothing more.
3 and 5...tried to be 1 and 2 when I was younger but I'm not aesthetic enough....now I enjoy lifting big without too much emphasis on my aesthetics thus the 5 for powerlifter and I also enjoy cycling (there's a joke there somewhere) and use to ride in events but now I just due it for enjoyment and to combat bf as I get older and my metabolism stops keeping up like it use to

2/6
I am 3 and 4
I'm 6 leaning towards 4.
7, since I fit into 3 4 5 6. I am in it now to feel good and to make sure those young gangster wannabes fuck with the wrong person. I'm thinking of fighting again next year since one of my good friends hosts fights in my neighborhood for cash prizes.
RageMonkey2 4 5 6 ;)
All these numbers described me lol
