It’s been a long, long time since I read Testosterone Magazine, but I went to read up a bit more on Hypertrophy Specific Training (a bodybuilding protocol I recommended to my younger brother-in-law), and I found myself reading the most recent Atomic Dog column, which attacks government regulations with a peculiarly amusing example from France:
A few years ago, in France, politicians became alarmed because French street gangs were using pit bulls to attack or intimidate rival gangs. [...] To put a stop to this, the French Government banned all pit bulls. It became illegal to breed them and any existing dogs had to be neutered, tattooed with a serial number, and kept on a chain. This is exactly what local authorities tried to do to me, but the bill fell a couple of votes short in the State Senate. But I digress.The French thought they had solved the problem. Wrong.
French gang members simply looked for an alternative and the alternative they found was the Barbary ape. Imported illegally from Gibraltar, Morocco, or Algeria, the apes are known for their powerful limbs, sharp teeth, and extreme aggressiveness. What?s more, they regard smiling — showing your teeth — as a sign of aggression.
They also regard other males — even human males — as rivals and will sometimes attack their sexual organs.
Which all brings us to ephedrine and pro-hormone regulation…
