Another night and another post can you tell that im bored yet but as most of my other post this one is spurred on by todays events. The people at my gym are really starting to get on my nerves, between the accusations and pure ignorance lays me and a few other of the body building ways. The story of today is of accusation but is a rather short one because i stopped it before it got out of hand.

Its chest day and my training partner and i are on the flat bench doing our sets, the problem is that a little while back i put a tear in my rotator cuff and subsequently was not ablt to goes as high on my chest exercises and shoulders, within the same time frame my training partner ripped his chest muscles rather deeply and they took a while to recoperate. As you can see i am drawing a picture that puts our bench press well below what it was at one point in time, to us it was just a natural set back to be over come but to the wankers of the guy (see previous posts) it was a sign of something else. We got through our day and went for the post workout shake and shower, while we were putting our shakes together, 60 gram protien isolate, 10 gram monohydrate, 10 gram glutamine, one of the wanker enters the change room and starts educating us on why supplements are bad for you. The typical argument ensues between us until the accusation, he said to us "well i guess its natural to think supplements arent bad for you after being on steroids". At first this was a complement to me, wow i havent been accused of being on steroids since high school, but than it got out of hand when he started saying that he was going to call the cops on us and all this other shit that wouldnt have made a differance in our lives even if he did follow through on dumb ass threats. We got him to leave, or as some of you would say, we tossed him out, and went back to our business.

The point of this is that i am really starting to realise how little people actually know what they are putting into their bodies and what it does for them. The easy thing to debate here is that supplements are bad for you. The fact of the matter is that as long as you stay within the general outline of how to use them, they will not harm you. Think about, do supplement companies need lawsuits against them, they will tell you how to use the product so that nothing can happen to them and they can gain the most profit that is possible. Even if you hear about a lawsuit against a company you would at least consider not take their product. This i didnt spend to much time on in my mind, it was the steroid accusation that made me think.

Steroid are arguable the safest illegal drug out there. When used properly and with proper counter-effect drugs that can be procured from your doctor legally almost all risk is taken out of the proceedings. This is of course if you are takeing pharmasutical grade drugs, which brings me to another point, the only real reason why steroids are dangerous is because its made in underground labs and so forth when it is also made labritories under safe condisions. Up to this point is what i would think most people would understand so i think im going to stop now. What i am going to say is that is very hard to sway my opinion and that no i have never been on steroids but if i had the opportunity to do them safely i would.
