Title: At what age did you realize that....
Post by: Tennisballz on May 01, 2015, 12:11:31 PM
Supplements are all bullshit?  For me it was my mid to late 20s.  I take nothing now.  Just food, water and coffee.  Occasionally beer.  I notice absolutely no difference in terms of performance and my blood pressure and blood work is perfect.  The only thing i do everyday is drink a massive vegetable shake with mostly greens.  Perhaps it's worth noting im natural, not a mass monster or "one of the bigger guys" here nor do I ever want to be.

I was about 17 I think. I still trained for 8 mire years before hitting the sauce srsly. It payed off - I'm a lot stronger than most juicers. And training naturlly taught me to train smart, try diff. techniques, etc... So I haven't got any injuries even tho I've been liftin at my max all the time.

Some supps do work; there's a noticeable difference in the number of reps you can do with creatine. I think creatine is the only supp worth taking though. Maybe one of the preworkout pump products, but you could just take viagra for lower cost and same effect

Absolutely agree!  Although arginine most definitely does increase blood flow.  Whether that vasodilation increases muscle growth is very subjective.

I fell for loads of the shite


mumie - the russian secret

chloropyhll- the green steroid

smilax

beta-sitersterol

primasorb

cybergenics phase one (I later progressed to the cybergenics full kit- they were both equally effective) along with Infinity 1700

davina weight gain 7 day plan- this was ace- you started it on day one weighing yourself in on an empty stomach then weighed yourself the final night and low and behold you'd put weight on. as you had if you weighed yourself at the end of night one.

I used to hide my protein powder outside the shed in the yard as I thought it was like drugs- this was at age 14 though.

Maybe a 1 1/2, 2 years in. I knew they'd never match a real steroid stack, but I thought if you got everything right, maybe you'd match low, low dose Dianabol, or Anavar. Then I got to know guys that were really into the scene, and realized that was bullshit too.

Although I find their lifestyle to be disturbing and repugnant, it's clear that those two homosexuals really love each other. I am happy for them.

Not a supplement per se, but I've found ephedrine and caffeine the only thing that truly does what it's claimed to do.   Everything else, protein bars/drinks, pre-workouts powders, etc, just makes for expensive urine.

Fart powder (which is food IMO), creatine mono, and stimulants. Everything else is pretty much garbage

Some supps work (ultimate orange, ephedra, creatine, prohormones) but you wont get much of anything out of them (except Superdol and things like that).

(http://lgisupplements.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Alpha-1-MAX-by-blackstone-labs.jpg)

This is one of the strongest prohormones not just from Blackstone Labs but on the entire market!

Get Ready for unprecedented Strength gains and slabs of rock hard muscle! This is a bulking prohormone and your strength and power wil be drastically improved!

Combined with hard lifting and good diet users have regularly reported 12-15 pound gains in just 4 weeks!

Don't worry about Estrogen Conversion as this compound cannot aromatize.

Cycle should not exceed 4 weeks due to the potency of this Prohormone.

Take a good PCT and On Cycle, this compound is Strong!

Get ready to become the Alpha Male you were supposed to be! Get Ready for the Next Level!

I loved the old adverts for different creatine formulas, the newer product being 200% stronger than the last...

Good advertising for the young and uninformed, I always feel like running into supp stores, hitting various poses then ushering the young men away and giving them money saving knowledge...

About 25. It's also about the same time I realized looking at pics and contests of oiled up men in thongs was a bit gay.

I discovered most supplements were bullshit pretty much when I joined Getbig and the harsh truth came out.

I'd never been one for spending loads on supplements anyway, just a good protein powder and a bit of creatine here and there is all you need along with boatloads of food and gear.
