Title: Supplements - only dumb people buy them
Post by: Stark on February 11, 2009, 12:40:17 PM
If you really think about it, the fundamental basis of this industry and pretty much everything that is wrong with this "sport" are the dumb people falling for the most unbelievable obvious fake advertisement human kind has ever seen.

Good friend of mine (and not the sharpest tool in the box) would fall for any and every f'ing shit these cocksuckers put on the market and i mean ANYTHING, he calls me at least once a month raging about this new product that would stimulate your testosterone level (naturally ::) ) and a week later he has to admit it was all bullshit.
So all these dumb f's fall for these dumb advertisement fall for dumb promises and buy their dumb shit product.
I mean a half way intelligent man would have no problem to figure out that a product called "species ::)" produced by two of the biggest crocks in the BB industry has no f'ing chance in hell to be any good.

So back to the start, these dumb f's buy the product therefore the "Supplement" industry has money to spend on advertisement for the pros they make a bit of cash and need to do less g4p and everybody is happy right?

Wrong, because if you guys have any decency in you, you boycot these lying f'ing snakeoil selling scumbag companies and give them NOTHING, not even the cheese of your dick nada nothing, f'em and f their spokes persons and the pages that push this shit as well.

And f you dumb f' for falling for the most obvious scams

Edit: Three product that have been proven to work and are not to be included in the list above: Protein Powder, Amino Acids, Creatine.

When it comes to physiques, all that really matters is AAS + calories/protein.

In terms of OTC, I do invest in things like 7-Keto, CLA, Fish Oil, r-ALA, ALCAR, EGCG caps, a few designer pro-hormones, etc.

Otherwise yes, most everything bodybuilding related is pretty useless.  Even knowing this, a true supplement junky has to fight the urge to purchase interesting and novel new products. I still buy stupid shit now and then, its almost like entertainment. ;) Every now and then I get sucked into trying some new thermo/fatburner. I recently bought controlled labs REDuction AM/PM and was pleasantly surprised with its appetite suppression abilities. It's not all useless, but when compared to designer pro-hormones, black market AAS, t3 and albuterol, most "supplements" are a waste of money.

Yep - be like most people and go to fast food joints and gain more weight and be overweight. Yep - that is right, supplement don't work

Get real.

Of course they do.

Some of them don't but many are there to support your moderate intake of food.

That's right on the money; too many people mistake SUPPLEMENT for STAPLE.  These are the same guys who hit up fast food joints and go out to the bar 2 or 3 nights a week, then wonder why they aren't gaining like they should.  We all know the kinda guys I'm talking about.  They are same ones who spend 200 bucks a month on supps, but look like a fat bar bouncer.

I eat a big meal of "junk" food every day. I had no problems cutting down to single digit this way. It was the easiest, most convenient cut I ever made. Only supplement used was protein powder.

BTW, I go to the Asian all-you-can-eat at least twice a week. :D

Nothing wrong with a bit of protein powder.

However, I don't consider that a supplement as it's such a staple part of my diet, I couldn't bodybuild without it.

Well you could get the protein from other sources. Less convenient though.

Supplements dont work. You shit it down the toilets.

Creatine "works", it causes water retention. You stop taking it, you lose all water retention.



Lifting weights builds muscles.
Taking steroids double/triple the mass you can build while lifting weights at the same time. Once you stop them you lose all the gains.



supps and steroids are for weak minded people who feel they need shortcuts due to mental issues.At least steroids users make some improvements.
But both dont believe in important values like work, dedication and patience. Steroids users especially, are cheaters.
You cannot consider supps users as cheaters, cause supps dont do anything.

But steroid users cheat on themselves, and on the others. Most of the time they are people you cant trust.




Ron: what do you know about lifting weights and building muscles anyway?

Humans don't need any supplements in order to have a healthy balanced, normal sized diet, even in today's hectic society.
Most supplements are only mildly beneficial, if not completely redundant.

the only generally useful sup in my view is protein powder. It gets me enough extra protein, whilst I can avoid stuffing my face with dry chicken, cans o tuna etc (which would ruin the satisfaction of eating)
Title: Re: Supplements - only dumb people buy them
Post by: Awesomo on February 11, 2009, 04:13:22 PM
In my opinion only 3 supps worth taking:

Whey - i take it all the time. I just the taste and it is fast and easy

NO - Not sure it gets me any stronger but I get a sweet ass vein in my bicep when i am on it and that is all i care about

Creatine - I put on a decent amount of water weight and can lift a little more so I do it every once in a while when i'm on a bulking phase, but I could definitely do without it.

Top 6 things that every human should do that is very cheap...

1. baking soda to help alkalize the body. 1/4 tsp. twice a day.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar with the "mother" to alkalize the body. 1 Tbsp twice a day.
3. juice from one lemon...Just one a day...
4. get rid of your toothpaste and brush teeth with regular all natural white Soap or     
    use a product called "tooth soap".
5. Food grade hydrogen peroxide in your water...Cycle this stuff something like 12
    weeks on, 6 weeks off...

6. Bright Light Therapy every morning for 20 minutes.

Especially this supplement shit are you KIDDING ME! What exactly do you know about vitamins and minerals, anyway? I mean deeper than just the "you heard Vitamin C was good for you" understanding.

People taking whey is such a fucking joke.

Seriously, most hardcore bodybuilders I know that eat 6-7 meals a day, most including a large portion of meat - do you really think thats not adequate? You just gotta rush that fucking whey shake within that magical "1 hour postworkout window"  ::)


LOL

So say you train around 5-7 pm. Well, assuming you were awake since 7 a.m, and got around 4 solid meals in with chicken or fish in each, you really think your body has already used that protein? Gee... here we go again.

Supplement. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Supplements your diet. eg whey, a convenient method of boosting protein intake. By no means a replacement for every potential meal.

I don't disagree that by eating clean and ditching junk food will help weight loss though.

Protein powder is more convenient for some people but not necessary. It's a food replacement not a supplement. Creatine has a small effect on some people. All other supps are useless for body composition IMO. There is no such thing as "junk" or "clean" food when it comes to body composition. All that matters for optimal body composition is enough protein, weight training, and rate of weight change as setup by overall intake and activity.

Bullshit Ron, and how can you tell? You don't look like the kinda guy who would use them very often, apart from the obvious and long time used Supplements like protein and creatine the rest is all snakeoil, like all these natural testosterone boosters ::) get off it Ron you know it's bullshit.
And btw not taking any supplements doesn't mean you have to grow fat and become a couch potato there is also the option of living healty.

Fact is Ron these crock companies are tricking kids and dumb people in believing them that they as well can look like the Pro's it's complete horseshit.

There are various studies that say exactly what we all know - that supplements work, at least the main staples. Others do to, but on each supplement and type, you can debate for a whole thread, and they do. 

Vitamins and Minerals is a whole different ballgame. We are talking about sports supplements, whey, nitric oxide and a myriad of others. Each has its own benefits to some people. 

For example, Glucosamine works, and I know it works. Two of us here have used it, and swear by it. Especially when my knee was hurting, but again, you can debate one by one.

Supplements are convenient. Especially when you can't eat clean nor have the discipline or time to do that. I guess we need to break down 'supplements', and which are healthy or more on the cutting edge... but yes, I would rather take some protiein powders and drinks than go to a local restuarant and eat their 'so called food'.

Really - because I am not in shape now. When I worked about, I used a lot of whey powders, and various products, creatine and more.  They work. Not everything works, and that is the problem, that there are fly by nights that promise and never deliver, but many products do.

I was never a bodybuilder, but during my college years and afterwards, we liked to hike. Trying going up the Twin Falls in Yosemite with a 60 pound backup on your back.  That was strength and stamina.

I agree with protein powder being convenient for meeting higher protein needs for preserving muscle mass. But what's so awefully wrong about restaurant food? If it's a good restaurant, the food is healthy, delicious, and will provide you with all needed nutrients. On my last cut, I almost exclusively ate at restaurants, best and easiest cut I ever made.

here we go again!! Everybody says Franco Columbu's nutrition book is "outdated" and useless. If you actually read it, He says don't waste your money on "wonder supplements". But you guys are too smart to listen to a ex mr. olympia. Seriously, just take a multi, some vitamin c and eat high quality food. With the ecomomy bad, who the hell can waste money on bullshit supplements. Remember, if your not training like a friggin madman, your pissin in the wind.

Simple but true nonetheless. "Supplements" means: I don't eat what matches my needs. You d'ont need to be eating 4000calories aday to get plenty of what you need even if you work out like a beast. Even the multi you can do without ideally.

Some supplements definately work...

ZMA - I respond well to ZMA
6OXO or the Gaspari test booser

and of course protein powders.  I use syntha-6 and ISO-100.

Of course ZMA and over the counter test boosters are worthless if your using AAS.

i'd also say that intra and post workout BCAA's combined with some Gatorade or other simple carbs work very well.

Yep - be like most people and go to fast food joints and gain more weight and be overweight. Yep - that is right, supplement don't work

Get real.

Of course they do.

Some of them don't but many are there to support your moderate intake of food.


Ron, bullshit most of the stuff raising test levels is DHEA and is labeled as something like trianabol.  I'm calling bullshit.

If you really think about it, the fundamental basis of this industry and pretty much everything that is wrong with this "sport" are the dumb people falling for the most unbelievable obvious fake advertisement human kind has ever seen.

Good friend of mine (and not the sharpest tool in the box) would fall for any and every f'ing shit these cocksuckers put on the market and i mean ANYTHING, he calls me at least once a month raging about this new product that would stimulate your testosterone level (naturally ::) ) and a week later he has to admit it was all bullshit.
So all these dumb f's fall for these dumb advertisement fall for dumb promises and buy their dumb shit product.
I mean a half way intelligent man would have no problem to figure out that a product called "species ::)" produced by two of the biggest crocks in the BB industry has no f'ing chance in hell to be any good.

So back to the start, these dumb f's buy the product therefore the "Supplement" industry has money to spend on advertisement for the pros they make a bit of cash and need to do less g4p and everybody is happy right?

Wrong, because if you guys have any decency in you, you boycot these lying f'ing snakeoil selling scumbag companies and give them NOTHING, not even the cheese of your dick nada nothing, f'em and f their spokes persons and the pages that push this shit as well.

And f you dumb f' for falling for the most obvious scams

Edit: Three product that have been proven to work and are not to be included in the list above: Protein Powder, Amino Acids, Creatine.

If you really think about it, the fundamental basis of this industry and pretty much everything that is wrong with this "sport" are the dumb people falling for the most unbelievable obvious fake advertisement human kind has ever seen.

Good friend of mine (and not the sharpest tool in the box) would fall for any and every f'ing shit these cocksuckers put on the market and i mean ANYTHING, he calls me at least once a month raging about this new product that would stimulate your testosterone level (naturally ::) ) and a week later he has to admit it was all bullshit.
So all these dumb f's fall for these dumb advertisement fall for dumb promises and buy their dumb shit product.
I mean a half way intelligent man would have no problem to figure out that a product called "species ::)" produced by two of the biggest crocks in the BB industry has no f'ing chance in hell to be any good.

So back to the start, these dumb f's buy the product therefore the "Supplement" industry has money to spend on advertisement for the pros they make a bit of cash and need to do less g4p and everybody is happy right?

Wrong, because if you guys have any decency in you, you boycot these lying f'ing snakeoil selling scumbag companies and give them NOTHING, not even the cheese of your dick nada nothing, f'em and f their spokes persons and the pages that push this shit as well.

And f you dumb f' for falling for the most obvious scams

Edit: Three product that have been proven to work and are not to be included in the list above: Protein Powder, Amino Acids, Creatine.

What's is wrong with liquid vitamins?

i'd also say that intra and post workout BCAA's combined with some Gatorade or other simple carbs work very well.

Agreed, I use to add luceine to powered Gatorade and mix it up.  L-Luceine does not mix does mix very well.  Luceine is the main thing that starts protein synthsis.  Most supplements are over hyped and over priced.  Buy bulk in Luceine, BCAAs, or EAA's is the way to go.
