At the risk of hurting someone's feeling's, I'm going to respond to your #2. Have you seen that guys avatar? I'm assuming it's a personal pic of himself, considering his face is blurred out. Ok, I TOTALLY not trying to be an asshole but...I look WAY better than that guy and I've been natural for 15 years up until last month. It's difficult for me to take anyone seriously who gives advice yet looks like they do little more than pound pizza and beer. Again, I'm not trying to be an asshole and I apologize in advance if my comments are over the top, but c'mon bro...how can someone advise a 20yo kid who barely weighs a buck fifty to start runnin' all that gear when you're built like a 50yo cab driver???
