Every supplement that I ever took was a scam.  Thankfully I'm not mentally retarded so it didn't take me long to figure that out.


True.  L-Carnitine for 'fat-burning'.... (oh brother...)


That shit was a huge wast of money and probably dangerous too.


The sh1t that I left floating in the toilet after taking all of this crap was a huge waste of money and probably toxic and dangerous too.



Fixed (for me)....

I'm saying I worked at GNC at the time he's referring to and the pay structure was an hourly wage plus "promotional money" for selling the house brands which were Challenge and Pro Performance. There was no monetary incentive to sell Cybergenics, the incentive was to switch customers onto GNC's brands which in that case was the Pro Performance bodybuilding kit, a Cybergenics knock off. Not saying he's lying. Possibly mistaken?

Ok, I worked for a privately owned franchise in Ohio when I was a grad student.
After 90 days , I got paid an hourly wage plus the store owner gave me 5% for EVERY thing I sold.
I saw the actual wholesale prices and the GNC brand had much better profit margins.

Corporate owned franchises may have had a slightly different policy?

Steroids were thought to be ineffective back in the day. One day you will realize that all these supplement claims were true, you just didn't work hard enough.

I agree and one more thing you forgot to add the reason why fart powders dont work is because when you fart you are farting out the air out of your muscles, if you hold back the farts then the air will stay in your muscles and you will get bigger.

Just joking.  Howard is obviously misremembering but I can also see a bit of brag-lie in there because he is old and addled and on the verge of coming out.

None.

They were always just to up the protein is all. Some, like Hot Stuff and Met-Rx, actually did MORE than expected.

Never fell for any of it. The things that I used that did work were Creatine and Prohormones.
