case in point, my pic in the now and then thread. takes me years of hard work to get where i am. others eat like shit and get their pro cards by the age of 21. hormones play a huge part. some can gear up and have the best cleanest receptors in the world and grow like a weed, others can gear up with the same exact shit and not gain an ounce. is the gear bunk? no…some respond well to gear, some great and some fucking amazing.
