Men; their job is to fix things when it comes to us women. or to help us....they are innately wired this way....any time i say to a man at the gym "can you help me" he will go outta his way to help me with a smile on his face and feel satisfied when he accomplishes the task at hand. having said that since yr husband got you involved in this, you essentially said " can you help me" so it gives him great satisfaction to help you grow & learn...so im sure if you turn around and start askin other ppl the same questions he's already answered he"ll feel slighted in a small way if you repeatedly do this....however, there are both men & women on this site who prob know more than yr husband about certain things, so you" ll have to discern who to ask what questions.

the fact that you even posed this question suggests that you either already feel you might be undermining him or he feels that yr slighting him or both....so id go with my intuition and if there really is a question he cant answer pose it to the community or if there is something he told you and you need further clarity do yr own research and discuss with him what you learned.

All depends on who is giving the advice i suppose...... length of years in the lifestyle, exp and time using AAS, how many people said person has trained and results to date so far etc,etc,...... or is the person giving advice a crass amateur that just talks the talk and has never achieved anything themselves because they are afraid of hard graft and just rely on the drugs???..... lots of people wandering around this site who foot that bill..... be carefull who you talk to would be my advice here.

It is almost always good to ask questions, perform DD and research, research, research!! The biggest thing for us ladies is to seek the opinions that are designed for and toward us. I say this multiple times DAILY, we are different creatures than our male counterparts. Doses are a lot less, gear choices and results vary and our sides are different than a man. We have different hormones therefore need different considerations.

It's difficult for men to train women, especially for competitions. Most of them FAIL because they have no idea how we should be coached and/or trained. Same goes for gear advice…..

Just my .02 ;)

PS I don't feel you'd be disrespecting him as long as he knows you trust him and you're just doing your DD.

I work in IT
I get so burned out answering, and solving every little thing that pops up...

That said, I'd be pissed if my wife took something to the geek squad to take care of something I could do.

So here's my take. It's ok to ask questions, but run what you think is the best answer by your husband before you act on it.

"Hey honey, several people online suggested I should take this, what do you think? Do I really need it?"

So is this overstepping boundaries...

For the sake of harmony it probably would be a good idea to let him know. Everyone takes things differently. This way at least you doesn't appear that you don't respect his opinion. Also there are some incredible women here who can be of great help to you. That is likely to bring less tension to a possible situation. The only reason I address this is because you wrote it as a possible concern.

I think this is how many people are,especially women.I remember when I would tell my ex wife about some great nutritional supplement and she would just kind of look at me and go "uh huh".Then a year or 2 would go by and she would come to me and tell me about this great nutritional supplement(one I had previously told her about) that a coworker told her about who heard it from her 2nd cousin that read it in readers digest.I would just look at her and go "uh huh".

I doubt he will feel embarrassed or disrespected. In fact he should be proud that his wife has similar interest and is trying to gain knowledge to better herself.

I think getting advice from a variety of people helps you be more knowledgeable. Never a bad thing.

my wife second guesses me all the time! I think he will be fine.
