Title: Just went to GNC...
Post by: Adam Empire on December 21, 2006, 06:13:15 PM
to see if there was any stuff on clearance.  As I was walking by the counter the employee asked if I was "all stocked up on Nano".  I lost it and started laughing so hard.  My god, I can only imagine some people going "Well, no - is it any good?"  Followed by a GNC commission check to the employee.  What a racket...

lol, I remember having a similar experience at GNC.  They were like such and such is the most sophisticated supplement on the market.  You'll get gains like never before.  2000% better than usual.  Are you ready?! but you need to get such and such also in order for it to work!  Needless to say, I cracked up in that dudes face.

Here is a little more info on Nano.  Do they get somebody from Mad magazine to write this stuff?



The Immediate Pump-Inducing Effects of Nanoparticulation Technology*

Nanoparticulation is the process of reducing the size of a compound for lightning-fast absorption. Collaborating with Team MuscleTech, the leading experts in nanoparticulation used pneumatic and jet milling systems (the very same ones used by leading pharmaceutical companies) to reduce a precise portion of the active compound in naNOx9 to a size that is up to 7400% smaller than the arginine found in regular nitric oxide products. To achieve nanoparticulation status, the active compound in naNOx9 is verified using laser light scattering analysis. Unlike regular nitric oxide products that take too long to show results, the key components in naNOx9 are designed to enter the bloodstream extremely fast. This rapid absorption triggers anabolic musclebuilding effects for out-of-this-world gains. We guarantee you will never experience pumps as fast and as powerful as you will with naNOx9.

True indeed!!!

It's all about the markdowns, which you can combine with the Gold Card.

Usually, the ones I get are the RTDs and, at times, the GNC products, like the jar of Anabolic Leucine Stack (GNC's powdered version of Leukic), I got for $6.

Why are you surprised at the complexity of their wording, when you know damn well that Muscletech spends millions, and millions, of $$ in research.

You don't think that the tub of Anator is $80 just for no good reason, now do you?  ;D

So let me weigh this out.

Pay three times as much for this "nano" nonsense.

               OR

Take a regular No2 product 10 minutes earlier.

The last time I bought some Anator, I got TWO jugs for just over $20. I believe it's been discontinued (probably due to its ABSYMAL taste).

I thought you were gonna say......."just went into gnc.........and before i walked in, i looked around and saw it was completely empty with not even the employee in sight, with balls of hay blowing by just like a desert". Place is always empty or there might be one other person in there besides the employee. You can easily steal shit from there. I use to have the "five finger discount sale" everytime i went there. ;D

I absolutely hate going to GNC. I go sometimes to pick up a ripped force, or some other stimulant drink before a workout, and there is always some 125 pound twink that couldn't be older then 20 working the front, and I don't even finish walking in the door, when he says "Hey is there anything I can help you find? Are you trying to build muscle?"

I'm not claiming to be a jet-setting millionare playboy that is 300 pounds with abs, but I do possess a decent physique at 5'11 250 pounds...about 12-13% bodyfat. The point being, is that I obviously must have some idea of what I am doing, and shouldn't be bothered by such inane nonsense when I want my damned bottle of Endorush!  >:(

And, now with MuscleTech coming out with its "Pro Series", the old items have been marked down BIG TIME.

4-lb jugs of the old Nitro-Tech Hardcore are as little as $15 ($12 with the Gold Card). Had I not already bought another protein powder (ON's NitroCore 24....LOVE THE STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE!!), I would have grabbed that.

But, the Nitro-Tech Hardcore bars are $0.30 each. So, either way, I got my quota in for the month!!!

i worked at a GNC and still bought all my stuff  CHEAPER online (besides the shit i stole). and when customers told me they were looking to "bulk up" i would first ask them "ARE YOU LIFTING WEIGHTS???" before even recomending a product. half of the answers i got were "NO" ahahahaha

often times i wanted to say "well here, try this gnc brand creatine bar that has been sitting on the shelf for 8 months. studies show your bench press will dramatically increase exponentially to your # of bowl movements per day while on gnc brand garbage"
