Words of wisdom... I've been working around a shoulder injury for 25 years that I incurred the first week I was ever in a gym. My friend had been working out for 6 months, and I decided to get under his bench press weight and push like my life depended on it. One stupid mistake at 14 years old can stay with you your whole life.

And yeah, I used to fall for those ads in the magazines back then. I remember starting one of those 2-page spreads thinking, "Hmm, what's this?" and by the end of it thinking, "I absolutely must have this stuff or it will be impossible to grow!" That's how powerful it can be if you're inexperienced and not thinking critically. Like you said, it's fabricated "science."

Thanks for coming by, Jay, and for the kind words!
