Information Trust?

Which kind of information do you tend to listen to more and find more benificial....

Articles and reports or
people's personal experiences?


I see a lot of crap articles or people writing reports from second or third-hand knowledge or biased studies. I guess I tend to listen more to 'trusted members' experiences, especially when many agree or have had similar experiences.

Experience

Care to ellaborate at all, lol.

Maybe it's a stupid Q, lol. Just wanted to see how many people out there take what they see for the truth just because they read it. Although, reading about experience is a form a 'reading' but you know what I mean ,right - lol

I'm a little loopy from the shoulder pills, lol
 
AMEN To that how many bullshit studies are done to back up a new designer drug. Which reminds me lets start a thread naming those drugs ill start:
when i was in high school(14 yrs ago) the big new drug was BORON it was gonna change your life. who remembers that crap?
 
I listen to experienced people but also if your well read you can know QUITE a bit, i myself have never used juice (yet) but know more than most steroid users.
 
I'd also have to say that any article written by author L. Rea i'd believe 100% and take his advice over anyone's on any board.
 
Boy has it been a long time since I've been around here. Anyway, I think this is a great question. Think about it. There are too many younger people (primarily younger teens) reading these boards that first of all have no NEED for AAS etc. Not enough people give their body a chance to grow naturally... that's a whole new thread all together I suppose. Regardless, I know when someone writes an article you can tell if they are writing from experience or if they are plagurizing (sp?) a journal or mag article. Hell.. way back when.. as a matter of fact like 5 years ago me another mod did a little experiment on our own regarding the absorption of tren via pellets taken orally (chewed, dissolved under the toungue). It was an article of fiction of course... but we both felt (two very different body types) that the absorption rate was MUCH higher than 35-50-or even 80%. I know for the longest time there used to always be a discussion on that topic...

What I can tell you (for those who know me from years back), is that I always told from experienced. The theories that you read are based off of scientific facts and test results on a 'study group' .. more than likely controlled.

I highly doubt that anyone on this forum is getting gains from any AAS etc in a 'low dose controlled double blind placebo' style supplement routine. I try to take the basic facts on a chemical, find out anything I can from those who can quote a book *to learn more about the science behind it*... and then talk to those who I give credability too in regards to experience/knowledge etc... then if daring enough make a sensible decision and become a test example myself... then add all the info, take my personal experience... and then if a question comes up give an unbiased opinion..

I think the key to any good article is an unbiased discussion/analysis of the topic at hand. There are pro's and con's to EVVERYTHING but each individual has thier own reasons for what they do ... good or bad. Credability in a 'readable' article comes from someone who won't put a bias specifically in the positive OR the negative... shit ... between all that... and the only thing you have to worry about is your source.. (meaning of the information). If it's an article done by someone/group that was hired by the company producing the product... that bias alone has to put a doubt in your mind...

Bottom line is, if the info comes from a source I can call credible by my own standards (right or wrong) that says alot to me. After that if I choose to follow someone else recommendation and my results are remotely similar than i'll take it as good advice.. if it's way off... i still don't call it bad advice, i just chalk itup to something that doesn't work for me, my lifestyle, or my bodytype.

and that's my wooden nickle's worth .... btw... good to see some familiar faces out here... hope everyone has been doing well... might start a thread in general discussion just freakin' find out who is still around anymore... Oh yeah.. and the board looks GREAT! Looks good Press and Crew!
 
OH yeah... and what i meant by credible is in regards to board articles/discussion not articles from pro's etc... then again, you could have ill feelings toward that person so... concider the source and take it from there!
 
I tend to research the crap out of everything before taking a dive.If I read from someone elses expirences, I also read other posts they have written as to find out what kind of expirence, and philosophy they have.Then I look at studies, then ask questions.Then I learn from expirence once I try anything out...and when trying something new, I always taper what I have been told, and learned.
 
Experience in my opinion is the best study/report you can get. But, I do think its best to use all these together so you yourself can make a better more educated choice in what you think is the truth.
 
I use all the information together to form my own opinions.

I don't put 100% trust into anything I read/hear. I think it's best to become as educated as possible, get a wide range of opinions and then see what works best for you and your goals.
