I, Bodybuilder Phase 2

I know I have said this before, but I will say it again. I don't know how guys like Thibs can stand to look at themselves in the mirror. Maybe they believe, like some in the religious fringe, that you have to lie a little to be able to spread THE truth.

I work hard as a parent, and teach my kids right and wrong. I know I can't just run my mouth - I have to practice right and wrong in my own life.

I have no problems with supplements, or supplement companies. But I do have a serious issue with people stealing money with insane claims. These guys build trust and then they use that trust to screw people. That is the worst kind of predator in the world. It reminds me of how child predator's work.

I hope they all go bankrupt.

Right now if I wanted to I could turn this site into a freaking circus, allow trolls, write articles to entice new trainees, prop myself up as a guru, start my own supplement line and lie to make $$$...on and on. Any of us could do this if we wanted to. It's not that hard.

I learned to not only avoid people like Thibs, but to avoid people who roll with people like Thibs. T-Nation has jumped the shark.

Your very welcome. On the flip side, thank you, to you! It's very hard to find a place like this were integrity is expected as the norm. I'm totally with you about leading by example. As parents we know all to well that our Kids are watching what we do. Not to mention repeat to our Wives what we say.

I know it's not easy on your side of the desk. You've got my number.

Serious, advanced lifters wouldn't because they bust their nuts for a handful of pounds in a year's time.

They prey on young guys because the gains come easier and they believe anything is possible. That's one of the reasons why so many young guys have a hard time believing that naturals can only get so big.
