Title: Ever buy/try some gimmick supplement?
Post by: HowieW on May 19, 2006, 07:23:18 AM
I sure hate to admit that I have wasted some $$$ doing this.
The biggest crap I have wasted my money was :
1. various prohormones (useless, but sounded so tempting "natural safe steroids " ::)

You beat me to it; I was going to mention Cybergenics Phase I.

Actually, the weirdest supplement I've ever tired wasn't so much a gimmick in function as it was in form.

That would be Cybergenics' Infiniti 3000 weight gainer; that is, the so-called "Blueberry Cheesecake" flavored one. Cybergenics came out with a gourmet series of their gainer. There were nine (9) total, with some of the other flavors being:

- Strawberry Cheesecake
- Rum Raisin
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- Peanut Butter & Banana
- White Chocolate Mousse
- Mint Chocolate Chip
- Cinnamon Apple Pie

I can't remember the last one (I think it was Caramel...something or other)  But, I suppose those would count as "gimmicky".

I just thought of one I wanted to try, back in the day, but didn't. Does anyone remember those Weider Shock Treatment thingys, that came in red and blue plastic vials?

I thought the makers of Hot Stuff got in a little hot water, because they referred to their product as an "Anabolic Activator". They later called it a "Fitness Potentiator", whatever the heck that is.

I liked Hot Stuff, personally.

Another "gimmick" I tried was (because someone gave them to me) was those Weider Weight-gainer Chewables. The concept wasn't so bad, but you had to eat a zillion of them to get an ample amount of calories.

Lee Haney's Mass Fuel Kit was fairly good.....except for them Mass Fuel bars: YYYYYYUUUUUUUCKKKKKK!!!

Imagine a alleged chocolate bar, that's the size of an eraser and taste like baker's chocolate, mixed with sand.

Though I haven't used any...  Anything that comes in a topical spray is surely a gimmick.  Great absorption I'm sure...

NO2 (didn't pay for it) didn't work. Something that did work was MHP T-BOMB (the original one).

Cell Tech, another "wonder" supplement which would miraculously add a good amount of brutal muscle tissue to your frame.

I just stick with the whey protein as a supplement.

1-test was no joke. I'm sure a lot of guys that do gear will come on and say it's crap, but all I know that when I did it I put on over 10lbs. in about 2 weeks and my strength went through the roof. I also got so pumped it was almost painfull.


I still have a bottle of M1T sitting in the cupboard ;D ;D

I didn't buy this, but I was amazed that AST Research, a company whose marketing strategy was to expose B.S. supplements, put out pure Dextrose (corn sugar) under a fancy name for $30.00/a bottle....

You can get Dextrose from a health food store for $2.00/a 2lb bag......

I make better gains now without supplements and a better workout program than back in 1995 when I was in college and constantly buying creatine, andro (remember that one) and ripped fuel. Sometimes going back to the basics is where it is at.

Yup, I did the same crap LOL.
Now I stick with whey pro, creatine, a thermogenic along with NO2 product.
