It is important to keep one thing in mind.
Hormones should be used as a last line of attack, as the cherry on top. There is a phenomenon which is commonplace amongst naive kids. They'll inject testosterone into their asses but they don't eat and keep a crappy lifting routine. As a result you get a lot of guys who have ran several cycles yet they look like they have never step foot in a gym in their lives.
Then to slow down aging & reverse degeneration, the very same applies. If you use hormones to cover up a defective diet then there is little point. Because the net overall imbalance you introduce to your body is going to throw it into more chaos, not less. When we manipulate bodily systems we need to induce a kind of controlled chaos, a decisive imbalance which we carefully manipulate. Any chink in your armour is a wide open entry for death. So for example you might be using HGH to keep your tendons sharpish. But what if you're not stretching regularly, getting your collagen/MSM, getting your vitamins and eating like crap? Then the hormones are lost. It boils down to one philosophy: don't use exogenous ingredients to seek mediocrity.
Become great of your own accord, reach your maximum potential both bodily and in knowledge, and
then use exogenous things to become superhuman (e.g. all the old school BB legends like Arnie). You can take drugs to cover up character flaws yet those very same drugs can be used to throw you into ecstasies that a flawless character could not reach alone.
Also keep in mind that there are no natural testosterone boosters that will support any vague level of increased muscle mass beyond your natural limit. As far as I know D-Aspartic Acid is the only one that has been proven to do stuff. Even that won't do it in the long run. The important thing is an average test level; all these herbs & foods will not really push it anything worth talking about as regards muscle mass. However they will definitely keep your drive and determination up, which of course is more than enough reason to eat them.
It seems that people need to get their delusions about steroids broken. Steroids are not just used in higher athletic circles. Steroids are EVERYWHERE. The Olympics are a shameless facade of a drug-induced performance exposition. An outward pretence of natural competition, an inward reality of needles going into butts left and right. If snooker was an olympic sport, the players would be on 2g test a week. The chemists are always conveniently one step ahead of the drug testers.
Everyone and their dog is juicing to keep up with the Jones'. I love shattering people's illusions about the whole thing, not least after mine were shattered in very much the same way. To take the red pill of knowledge feels great. This facade is idiotic. Those of us who are natural will
never keep up with users of P.E.D. and to maintain this farcical bullshit is disheartening. As a natural athlete you could give it your all and 10% on top and yet you'd feel like you were genetically defective, as that other dude is chomping down fast food all day long yet outsprinting you silly.
It does more harm than good to pretend steroids do not exist, ironically the most harm is to natural athletes. Natural BB competitions are rife with juicers because the air of taboo & disquiet is fertile for such dishonesty. Also, it makes for great advertisement: "Look how 1 scoop of Testostadroldurabotren Force Activator Prima XoX made our athlete build 250lbs of 100% natural lean ripped mass in just 6 DAYS! (insert before picture of Auschwitz escapee, after picture of Arnie in his prime)".
Check out the
100m sprint record progression over the last century. In 3 generations humans did not suddenly evolve NOS boosters for their legs. We did learn a thing or two about biochemistry though.
Also, I do believe that irrespective of how realised a being is, they should refrain from talking about things they don't know of; "I know something you don't therefore I know about everything you don't and also everything I don't". You don't hear much about Zen monks on the subject of molecular genetics so perhaps they should maintain their regal silence when it comes to entheogens too instead of pretending that self-realisation gives you the ability to open your mouth about things you've never actually experienced as a human being.
Anyway, not everyone wants to live long, not everyone cares. For some, it's a case of full YOLO in one's youth. I much prefer the story of Li Ching Yuen though, that seems much more like the way to go. Supposedly he lived 250 odd years. Without HGH in the mix. The wonders of Taoist living, collecting herbs and practising Qi Gong. If you are looking for longevity & flexibility & good tendons well into old age, then practice things like Qi Gong and yoga. 80 years of Qi Gong goes a long way to say the least. Throw in some HGH for good luck.
