Hi everyone. I've been a member for a few months. Until recently I had yet to take the time to read everything about rules posts ect. Much to my detriment. Had I done so from the start I probably wouldn't have lost the karma points I have for ignorance. I must say though that this (eroids) has been one of the most benificial things I have ever been a part of. I have always been strong and fast. I played D-1 football for a well known school for 3 years. Starting on and off for that time. My father passed away my senior year and I moved back home to take over my families farm and grain buisness. Fitness needless to say tool a back seat. Although I picked up the weights from time to time I never could regain the strength and form I enjoyed in my youth. Even after coming back home to work I kept my form with little effort. Enter 30. It all started to fade. I became very angry with myself. My relationship with my beautiful wife suffered, my families buisness suffered as well. I believe for people like myself self confidence is interwoven with how you percieve yourself in the mirror. The way others act and feel toward us is greatly influenced by this also. Rightly or wrongly that's just the way it is. Eroids has given me back what I view as the most important thing in my life next to my wife. My self confidence. I feel and look like the man of my youth. Hell I could whip is ass. Ha! Thank you to everyone who has helped thus far. Through advice or a review of a source I might have tried. Or not tried based on what I read. Thanks to the guys that told me I was an idiot when I need it. I am definetly one those that does not need to be handled with kid glove. I've found I don't have to worry about that here! I look forward to being a positive member of this community for a long time. Also to keeping what it has allowed me find again. A reflection in the mirror I once again enjoy looking at. Thanks Eroids.
