Old Man Thoughts And My Trusted Adviser

[Poppy]

I tend to drift into deep thoughts and cogitate the what ifs and what next stuff. It helps me sort through the day to day to tasks and make some sort of plan for the distant and near future.

I’ve come up with some hair brain ideas over the years that looked good on paper and in my head… they turned out to be total dumpster fires when put into action. Some ideas worked perfectly and/or better than I imagined.

The difference being is: bouncing the ideas off of a trusted adviser after you’ve hatched your scheme. This will let a second party provide their opinion and maybe point out a crack in your plan that you might have overlooked.

The BIG caveat here is you have to trust your adviser. If they say scrap it all together then you gotta take their word and walk away from it. Hence the title TRUSTED.

Almost all the advice given in this community is laid out with genuine good intentions. The difference is whether the receiver of said advice will read and heed and make adjustments as advised or go forth with a (possible) flawed plan.

This is not calling out any one individual or topic…just some general thoughts I’ve got floating around in my balding head.

PS… ultimately you own your decisions. A trusted adviser is not responsible for the outcome of anything. We’re all adults and responsible for our own actions.

This makes me think f when my friend called when I was away at college. He said the guys are betting me to drink goo gone. I replied if your calling me you may as well of already done it cause that sounds like a great idea. I used to be horrible ideas leads to good stories guy so of course make the bad decisions. I’ve change my ways somewhat. Like today I made right decision to come into work on off Saturday. A I have no life b I’m making money and c the chick on first is now pretty much guaranteed to sleep with me cause whe wanted to see if I would actually show up today

This is important. I find that a lot of people post with an idea of the answers they want already in their mind. Then they wait until someone validated their idea and that’s the only input they adhere too.

We all come from different backgrounds. Different goals. Different philosophies. If @Dirtnasty and myself can function on the same forum having essentially opposite philosophies for how we will construct and run our cycles… then anyone can join the discussion.

If you are looking for input. Be open to all the input, then seek a trusted adviser and come up with a plan that fits your goals.

 

[Dirtnasty]

We generally agree on a lot of ways of doing this I just throw that knowledge out the window and push it hard. I would never tell anybody to do what I’m doing

 

[NeuroRN]

very well said. You’re correct.

It’s called confirmation bias, and it is rampant in today’s culture

That’s the bottom line. The current generation of liberal douch bags like to blame others for anything and everything they do that doesn’t go the way they had planned. We are all adults. Unless someone has a gun to your head, it’s on you to make intelligent decisions and accept the consequences of your actions.

100%! They just keep asking until they get the awnswer they want instead of accepting the reality that whatever it is they were looking for was flawed

However when you comment on what you do….being so far outside the Bell Curve, may weigh evenly to others advise which could skew a persons decision.

 

[Dirtnasty]

I haven’t seen anybody on this board yet say we’ll your doing that much maybe I should. I’m sure somebody could read and think well he’s getting great results I’ll give it a try. That said I don’t think most people would have ven feel ok on the amounts I run. I know if I start to feel like something isn’t right I have no issue dropping a compound or lowering. And I do get bloods that show I’m handling it fine there I probably need more test to see how everything the bloods don’t show are though

There’s also you’re a ~300lb man…relatively youngish. Your dosing probably wouldn’t transfer to a budding 160lb 20yo.

Although I’m very sure there’s some kids that would think so.

Ha ha well here ya go big boy,I want to do as much as you do,I’m just smart enough not to

@Poppy When exactly do you drift into these thoughts,right before bed? During sex?when your lifting? When your walking around?

 

[Poppy]

Yes

 

[Cluster]

You know when you start answering yourself its time to hang it up

 

[herrubermensch]

Hello, Mr. Hume!

 

[NeuroRN]

Your philosophy knowledge still surprises me after all this time, even with the Uber mensch title.

 

[johnjuanb1]

While pooping most likely. That’s the best time to ponder life.
