Title: What dumb ass BB supplements did you get suckered into
Post by: TestDummy on February 13, 2015, 08:20:39 PM
Back in the early 2000's I wasted so much money buying every new product that came out at GNC, I think the one I really bought into was the whole myostatin protein thing

I bought some glutamine once, 2007 or so.

Not many, but glutamine, DHEA, and one of the first generation andro products (Andro Fuel) come to mind. I've bought other products over the years with various degrees of success, but those three I felt nothing from.

First supplement I ever bought was Twinlabs Amino Fuel.  I thought I was going to get so jacked it made me feel super good.  Probably just worth the money for the false beliefs as a teenager.  Studies have already shown you can grow muscle just by thinking about it.

Protein, Creatin, Nitric Oxide and some others.

Almost all supplements are unnecessary.

I purchased muscle-tech products back in the day.

I also used to take waxy maize. I actually thought it was a good product. Perhaps a placebo effect.

Only thing I ever took other than protein powder was creatine and glutamine.  I didn't take it for very long but I tried it.  Even back in the day I kept it pretty simple.

I remember I bought done creatine when I was around 15. I stared at the can thinking "I'm going to be fucking huge." Then I gain 5 lbs of water and felt like shitting  my pants  for a week.  :-\

when I was in high school I stayed the night at my buddies house, we got up in the morning and I tried a big glass of his creatine drink, everything was cool then we got on the school bus and my stomach started rumbling, then to make things worse at the next stop the hot little blonde chick I like sits by me and by that time I was squeezing my ass cheeks together trying not to shit my pants and sweating bullets, she kept trying to talk to me but I didn't even hear what she was saying I was just thinking omg I'm gonna shit my pants, finally we get to the school and I jump over everyone and run off the bus, got to the bathroom just in time.... It was a few years before I tried creatine again

They discontinued the one by FSI :( Was so pissed. But I loved it. I definitely got results from it. Creatine is the only supplement that has actually worked for me. All the other supplements were just crap.

One of the first supplements I ever bought as a naive bodybuilding teenager was this thing called FRAC - weird green tablets that tasted nasty as hell. Didn't get a thing from it. Never really fell for anything like that again thankfully and just relied on protein powders mainly.

Creatine does work though - first time I used it there were noticeable differences in strength and size. I think I'm kind of immune to it now though.

I remember I read about M1T in an MD magazine, found a website that sold it and bought some thinking it was just another testosterone booster, I swear like a week after I started taking it my bench was up 30lbs, that shit worked like magic, I would stay on it for months without a break, then the government classified it as an illegal substance lol, after that I was like fuck it what else can I get

Let's see...

Gamma Oryzanol
Vanadyl Sulfate
Chromium Pinocchio nose
MetRx - the original cost of this stuff was beyond ridiculous.  The marketing was brilliant.

Then, I bought a few amps of Negma Parabolin.  It was at that point that I realized these miracle muscle supplements were nothing but BS and a total waste of money.

the dbal dose would not even be consistent in your body, I doubt those rumours were ever true.
Supps that have been proven tainted were just made after some UG crew made a batch or orals using the machine, lol.. Not enough dose to do anything.

It wasn't from lack of want, it was from lack of cash, I remember a bottle was like $70 - 80 at my local GNC on sale. And all the smaller bottles of EAS supplements were in a locked display case, so you'd have to get a manager to come over if you wanted it, which was actually helpful, because the hassle made you forget about it after a while.

It remember the whole hustle, Phosphagen gave you Dianabol like pumps, and HMB felt like deca. While I didn't believe that, in my teenage mind I figured may be it would be like a low dose of Anavar, afterall, Bill Phillips wouldn't lie to us, he was one of us.... :).

By the time I saved up enough birthday money to afford the full EAS stack (which was probably $200 - 300 a month), everyone figured out that it was just horseshit, and I stopped caring about whether HMB felt like deca  ;D ;D.

There was a Weider product called Protein 101 or some such name. Anyway, that was way back in the early seventies and boy did that one taste good. Sweet, but tasty. Good for getting more calories in.

Shortly after getting a can of this yummy stuff all the Weider supplements were taken off the shelves. The Australian government tested some products and found that the contents didn't match what was printed

on the labels. The amounts of protein inside were greatly exaggerated. That 101 never appeared in Australia again which is a shame. Weider was fined $ and the money was forwarded to genuine research into nutrition.

I don't use or recommend supplements. Study nutrition and buy what you need at the super market. You don't need all that extra protein. A big lie still peddled by the supplement sponsored magazines.

I usually just stuck to whey and creatine and wouldn't say either is a waste since whey is basically food and creatine works (at least for me).

However, I occasionally got natural test boosters and fat burners (hydroxycuts) and they basically did fuck all despite being fairly pricey. Wasted some cash by getting sucked in by the fancy labels and marketing.

Actually, now that I think about it - 2 "sups" I also used that I believe definitely "worked" were:

Dymetadrine 25, or something like that.  Think it was ephedrine.

19-nor 3 Andro by AST... Did one bottle of this.  Went to do another a few years later but got spooked and threw it out (I am an admitted puss when it comes to this kind of stuff.  If I every feel dizzy, etc..i just stop using stuff,warranted or not).

Yes, and very high quality.  My training partner at the time got hooked on it... worked up to taking 75mgs pre-workout.  Took it this way for years.  I told him not to take this much.  Today he has many problems with his heart and neurological issues.

Some of the early 19-nor stuff was pretty good, but for me it did what deca would do: killed my libido. Since, at the time, I was attempting to get jacked for the chicks, it didn't seem like a good trade.

I would use it on heavy squat days, then loved the euphoric feeling of having the body feel totally wiped by the mind racing.  Then, one day I got dizzy driving home and flushed the bottle down the toilet.

In the past 15 years I tried every herb, vitamin and mineral. Worrying when I walk in the shop and generally cant find anything I havnt tried once. Good thing Im not a drug addict.

I tried plenty of stupid products, there was this sublingual slime i tried from Biotest or Gen, cant remember exactly but it was some unfertilised chicken egg embryo extract from Russia. Didnt do anything.

Ditto.  And it came with a crazy diet and training regimen that I figured was designed to prevent you from seeking the money back guarantee because you'd have a hard time saying you actually did what they said to do.  I give this whole scam credit for opening my eyes to all the scams and also to learning the importance of watching exactly what you eat.

1) The owner writes fake reviews, see the first in the list. No legitimate company does that.
2) Check the ingredients, besides the very small, almost insignificant amount of yohumbine, this thing is complete waste.
3) Check this guy's social media and you will understand why NO ONE should support them.

1Complete Fraud!
ByAmazon Customer "Shoppers for Free-Shipping Director"on June 23, 2013
Verified Purchase
Here's the skinny on this item, it's a complete fraud, an expensive one at that. Not only does the manufacturer refuse to disclose their ingredients but if you contact them about the product they'll try to make it seem like its your fault you havent seen any results. I contacted the manufacturer to let them know the only thing I had gained from their product was a lack of sleep and an allergic reaction. They wont hear a word about a return or a refund so buy at your own risk. They claimed the product never claimed to help u loose weight or lean down when their description "Maximum Strength Fat Burner with one thing in mind, results! When you step foot on the beach or the pool we want people to stare and wonder how the hell you got soo damn lean! SHREDZ along with diet & training will get you there. BENEFITS OF SHREDZ Leaning down and dropping body fat is enough to accomplish, but SHREDZ doesn't stop there. SHREDZ will give you clean, smooth energy." as you can see clearly claims to do so.

To be clear I actually doubled the amount of daily cardio while taking this product, and increase the lenght of my workouts, not because I had gained any energy but in good faith to try and make this product work. I never felt so tired all day as I did while taking this product.

STAY AWAY!!!!

The company that makes this product uses fake reviews to generate interest. If you notice nearly all of the 4/5 star reviews came in on the same date. The ingredients in this product do not work and it is overpriced.

Look this up if you don't believe me: The FDA does NOT regulate supplements. So, these guys can put anything they want in this bottle, call it something else, and sell it for outrageous prices. That is what they are doing, on top of the fake reviews.

There was a Weider product called Protein 101 or some such name. Anyway, that was way back in the early seventies and boy did that one taste good. Sweet, but tasty. Good for getting more calories in.

Shortly after getting a can of this yummy stuff all the Weider supplements were taken off the shelves. The Australian government tested some products and found that the contents didn't match what was printed

on the labels. The amounts of protein inside were greatly exaggerated. That 101 never appeared in Australia again which is a shame. Weider was fined $ and the money was forwarded to genuine research into nutrition.

I don't use or recommend supplements. Study nutrition and buy what you need at the super market. You don't need all that extra protein. A big lie still peddled by the supplement sponsored magazines.

I remember an old school 70s bodybuilder once telling me that Hoffman and Weider used to go into the factories at night and lace the powders with sugar.

Got suckered into buying Smilax in the late 80's. 

so did I...you're not alone...about 20 years ago I bought a small bottle of SMILAX about three times for $35.00 each.....I thought I was using it wrong or not enough the first two times it didn't work.........what a SUCKER....My wallet is STILL saying ouch to that one.....

Also bought Nitro-Tech because the adds had me thinking I would look like Lee Priest....what a let down.....however,

Cell Tech actually worked for me the first time I took it.....I was bigger, stronger, and really hard.....

Gaspari's Creatine worked well too...was really jacked!!!

The old Hydroxycut was awesome too....lost a lot of weight on that...

Also bought ZMA...didn't do shit for me physically but WOW..slept deeply and had some fantastic dreams that were really colorful and vivid..like being on LSD

when it comes to supplements or protein and if one uses on,i try to use a company that has no flashy gimmicks/ads/or outrageous claims..most trusted brands like Beverly internatational,ON,DYNAMATIZE,OLYMPIA LABS,have basic or no advertising.

I had the same experience with ZMA. In the end, it wasn't worth the cost as I was sleeping fine without it. I didn't notice any "gainz" on it or anything else.

The only way to tell if a supplement really works or not is if the government bans it.....when the Gov't gets involved then you know it works

Methoxy pro Protein (I think that's what it was called). It PROMISED a 30 lb weight gain in 4 months or your money back. I was so excited about the potential of all this stuff new muscle, I had order three 4 lb containers to get started only to find out that was about a two week supply.

I quickly realized that my superb genetics would have to help cover what that methoxy pro that I didn't have wouldnt, the 12 pounds would have to last me a month,  I thought even if I only gained 15 pounds that it would be a decent amount.


The diarrhea was so intense I only made it through 2 containers.

One odd night I took:

5 Dymetadrine - 25
about 5 jager shots and beer
weed
And, for no reason at all, dropped acid on the way into a concert because someone handed it to me as I walked in (which I subsequently forgot I took, and didn't realize it until hours later).

So.  Fucking.  Dumb.

I was fortunate nothing happened to me.

I remember vanadyl.  Stuff was so toxic for your blood and of course the notorious Vanadyl farts.  Worst smell you could ever imagine, probably from the sulphates.

Only things I ever bought was whey, casein, bcaa, creatine, multivit/mineral, glukosamin/msm. Never fell for any of the crap loaded with sugars or stimulant bs.

All these have scientific backing so not really a waste of money. Alltough I don't seem to respond to creatine. Maybe because I eat alot of meat anyways.

Driven Sports stuff actually work, like actually work. If it claims you'll grow a horse dick, you'll grow a horse dick. If it claims you can deadlift all day without getting tirred, you can deadlift all day without getting tirred. If it claims strength gains, you fucking get strength gains! All natural too.

when I was in high school I stayed the night at my buddies house, we got up in the morning and I tried a big glass of his creatine drink, everything was cool then we got on the school bus and my stomach started rumbling, then to make things worse at the next stop the hot little blonde chick I like sits by me and by that time I was squeezing my ass cheeks together trying not to shit my pants and sweating bullets, she kept trying to talk to me but I didn't even hear what she was saying I was just thinking omg I'm gonna shit my pants, finally we get to the school and I jump over everyone and run off the bus, got to the bathroom just in time.... It was a few years before I tried creatine again

Great story would love to see the sequel
