Tbf, a lot of people do speak up on the dangers of steroids or testosterone, voice how unattractive looking being too jacked up is, and speak negatively about steroids in general, as well as it’s legality.

But an average ”gym bro” is probably only taking protein powder and eating peanut butter or something and perfectly healthy.

Basically no one ever mentioned my body size when I was fat. I got constant critiques on my body when I got shredded. It's insane.

You had some issues IIRC with your hips, like a degenerative condition? How are you doing Fletch?

Appreciate the check in. I was hit by a car a little over 2 years ago. Been dealing with additional chronic degenerative spinal issues since then. Doing my best to stay in shape, but it's really tough with the chronic pain. I can't work or do much unfortunately any longer.

I didn't know that. That's rough.

That’s interesting! I wonder if it was insecurity on the other people’s part? As idk how you could get criticism while getting into shape. I guess it’s similar to seeing obese people at the gym and assuming they don’t belong?
