Riker: Now, what's YOUR problem? Geez, I wasn't just trying to argue with you bro. But you are incorrect.
Listen; I'm on HRT and I get my blood tested often but I have to be careful not to be tested too soon after taking a shot because -- guess what? -- my T level will show an inappropriate number. It's happened before. Shortly after a 200 mg shot of cyp my T was over 2000! (And it had been 2 weeks since my last shot). They wanted to cease therepy because it was so high. Now I make sure it's at the end of the week after my shot, upon which my level is around 700.
Now will YOU admt YOU'RE wrong? Personally, I don't give a shit and I don't want to go tit for tat, but it gets really annoying to have people get on your case when they're the one's who need to get their facts straight.
Well, thats quite surprising to hear because it goes against what most people know and understand regarding esters and how they operate. I mean yes, you STRAT to get an elevated level very quickly, (the graph starts at zero and goes up soon after injection) but I would not think it would be THAT high THAT soon, with THAT long of an ester.
Hm, are we really sure that none was injected directly into the blood stream? That may have been the reason for it.
And, note, I have no problem with you personally. Its just that at times, your flat-out unwillingness to bend, even at the slightest, to admit that you even MAY be wrong, gets quite annoying and actually goes towards losing you more potential buyers of your books than it does to increase those numbers. I think thats why you take a lot of "heat". Sure it sounds out of line in terms of what people are discussing with you, but they are not reacting to the facts, they are reacting to the "tone" of how they are "talked down to".
I work in the self-help industry (among other things) and have learned that sure, its good to BE the person who has knowledge, but to present yourself as if you have ALL of the knowledge, and to act and posture as if everyone else hardly knows anything (its called being condescending) turns people off.
Do what you want. I don't care. I am not living off the revenue's of your book sales. I help teach guys to meet women - which is the reason half of guys work out anyway.
With all that said, I do have a lot of respect for you and you are very knowledgable in many ways. I do not agree with everything you say or preach, but you are far far far more correct and helpful than you are the reverse.
If you lived near me, I'd glady buy ya a beer and BS for a while. Assuming neither of us was cutting, of course. LOL
