I don't know the risks. Maybe I'm just health conscious, possibly overly so.
I've be going to the fitness center for 10 years. I've been dragging my feet about taking testosterone. I've had no gains since my first or second year just trying to make overall health a priority.
Maybe I should just say it isn't for me?

They said stand upwind, and they had us open up a tank first. It still seemed a lot to me, though.
I once trained for a gasoline delivery job. I didn't particularly care for all the fumes in that job, either. In the end, pulling those supertankers in the snow and going to desolate gas stations at night, without a gun... I didn't last there, either. -
