But that’s my question. I know what bodybuilders go through. I’m friends with a few pros. One was recently in the shooting of generation iron. It’s so much effort eating right. Just seems to me if that’s what you want to do why not make the best of it and grow as big as you can.
Just for health and longevity, to be honest. PEDs are not necessary anyway.
You can test for exogenous HGH and Insulin as they often have sequence changes or different glycoproteins to endogenous forms.
It seems that they look at other growth factors also.

But they have extremely short half life’s. You basically have to test for it within a few hours to catch anyone on them. You’d be stupid to take them before the drug testing. That’s why I say you can’t really test for it. The time window is too small.
You are correct it’s difficult to catch dopers. GH you could possibly test for two weeks after…Hard to prove.
I think for injury recovery, athletes should be allowed to use HGH.
Since this segued into bodybuilding, I’ll bring original topic back through bodybuilding.
That girl in the middle would be a nice friend to have (if I were single).

Been here since June. And kinda have not make new friends.
I need some actual people outside of my work to talk and hang out to. Preferably people can actual converse in english.
Anyone here? Do people here in forum meet up? Lol.
It has been tried . Not enough enthusiasm maybe? Plus it may shatter our perceptions of some online personas .

This. I used to pass by happy hours in Carnegies and they’d fill me with terror even though half of the people at them would be online friends of mine.

Perhaps i should restart using meetups then… lol
Take a yoga class
Is this similar to ‘go to a class’ of your gym?
How friendly are Taiwanese gym goers? lol.
Exactly, but maybe different types of people with different types of interests.
Not as friendly in Taipei but outside of Taipei more friendly. I think we need to start labeling Taipei people is different from the rest of Taiwan.
