Hi Donn369
My only thought is that the guys from Cleveland know what they are talking about and if you are having pouch issues, maybe go a bit easier on yourself.
What it comes down to is if the weightlifting and hormones cost you your jpouch, requiring it to be removed one day, would you be ok with that? It may never come down to that, but sometimes you need to consider the worst case scenerio and think about how you would feel if that actually came true.
I'm all for living the life you want, just know there are consequences (good and bad) to everything.
