I tend to believe that PE with an unloaded tunica will allow greater overall gains, but thats just my guess.
(1) And the “type” of guys who would submit themselves to the most extreme forms of PE are also the guys least likely to take any type of break….unless they break their dicks.
(2) I agree that it is safer.
(3) I also agree.
And…(not to sparkyx)…….regarding the comment that “academics” were debating whether or not steroids “worked” as late as the 1970’s…….????????????
Academics in what? Horticulture? By the Olympics in 1972, people around the world were crying in protest about the ferocious, manly East German “female” swimmers………tall, with rippling muscles, they destroyed the competition from non-Soviet Bloc nations.
Indeed, since Paul Anderson last won the Olympic gold in ‘52 or ‘56, the Soviets and/or satellite countries were winning all of the gold medals in weight lifting…for decades.
Arnold & Sergio (& others) were complete freaks in the 1960’s. Steroids were always known to have “worked” - for decades. Only the long-term health consequences were not as well understood early on.
