Title: The Old Hot Stuff scam
Post by: Never1AShow on January 08, 2017, 10:06:23 AM
At some point 30 years ago Hot Stuff had actual steroid ingredients in it, Dianabol I think.  It had such an impact it is still discussed today.  Why aren't supplement companies running this same scam to drive sales?  Adding some active ingredients here and there.  I don't think it's a cost thing, even small amounts would produce more results than the nothing from regular fart powder.  Or are they actually doing this and I just don't know about it?

I can't believe the legality of illegality of this would have anything to do with it when $$ and bodybuilding cross paths.  Look at Piano

It was called "Hot Stuff" for a reason. 

I can't remember exactly, but it contained either crushed up Halo or D-bol.

I believe the 1990 Controlled Substance Act passed by Senor Bush, eliminated the 'blurry' lines of what's real and fake , plus designer and SARMs are safer from a business/legal aspect to use

I guess what I'm wondering is despite the laws passed way back when, why isn't anyone doing this to get a buzz for their supplement lines?  Society and people's willingness to follow the law, especially where $$ is involved ain't the same as it was 30 yrs ago.

My guess is that some sups companies are doing exactly this, spiking random batches with real drugs to give some users results so they will spread the word.  Then again, there is so much old guy prescribed test going on maybe it wouldn't pencil out.

Now we need to break them down into two categories: intentionally natural and actually natural.

I had a friend whose Dad (a football coach) was feeding him Dianabol and telling him it was vitamins.  So it isn't unheard of.

Kitchen sink type protein powder, they basically throw small amounts of all the popular supplements in it, to make it seem like it was a good deal.

Rumor was that they spiked the early batches with small amounts of D-bol, to get folks coming back.

Later, similar rumors went around about the early two container MetRx (that was supposedly D-bol, plus clenbuterol). And the early batches of Phospagain/Phosphagen from EAS (D-bol).

Clen in protein powders, I don't think so. Too hard to do, too dangerous, close to impossible to dose correctly.

They have gotten smarter now they fund a study and put the guys on juice to make the results impressive, muscletech had a study where they took 24 advanced gymrats and put them on  a hmb supplement for 3 months and at the end they gained 16 pounds of lean muscle while losing 12 pounds of bodyfat and gained 36 pounds on the squat, 28 pounds on the bench and 62 pounds on the deadlift, obviously no natural supplement can do this but naive people will believe it then it sells like hot cakes.

Title: Re: The Old Hot Stuff scam
Post by: BB on January 08, 2017, 02:17:03 PM

Ultimate Orange was Caffeine, Carb powder, and Ma Huang. It might of had Grapefruit extract also, but those were the big 3. The secret I think was that the dosages weren't really all that standardized, it was like you opened a few Diet Fuel bottles, uncapped the the pills, dumped them in the jug, and hoped for the best. Also, the company's dosing parameters had you at between #50-75 Mg of Ephedrine per sitting after conversion. Add to that a gram plus of caffeine, and you can see why folks thought it so strong.

Yea what after 5-8 years of selling like hot Cakes?  And then they just shut down the company and open a new one.  I gotta believe this is exactly what is going on these days, which makes me think all those claims that supplements don't work do t really take into account that some do, at least for a while, because of spiking.

Someone here commented on Gaspari products spiking, which seems to ring a bell from a thread a while back.

Usually the spiked supplements are at the expos.  One time at the Olympia, I tried a liquid fat burner sample from this scantily clad lady and I was high and wired up like a kite.  Tried it again a few months later from a Europa Sports weekly shipment and it was more normalized. 


The reason they do this is to build hype for their products so they can get more accounts from store owners

There was just a popular pre workout on the market a couple years ago that contained an Amphetamine analogue until it was forced off the market. I think it was called DS Craze... this is why I used caffeine and bronkaid if I want a pre workout... I know exactly what I’m taking. You always have to remember the dietary supplement industry isn’t regulated by the FDA and has no one to check the efficacy of their products

They are...

A certain UK company made a fat burner that actually worked...back orders in the thousands...it contained a banned substance, in the time it took the relative agencies to get involved they had sold shit loads.  I think the fine they were landed with equated to about 10% of what they made from the product.

Sad how stims have come to replace a good nights sleep.  I have friends that abused the shit out of ephedrine in the 90's.  Now they have all kinds of health problems.  It does catch up to you eventually.

For an occasional boost, a small cup of black coffee is all I need.

Just because I want to remember it, and some might be interested. Here's the important part of the old recipe for Ultimate Orange -

Ultimate Orange -

Carbohydrates - 16g
Protein - 25g
MaHuang shooting for a standardization of 8% - 415mg (about 33mg of Ephedrine)
Caffeine was around 300mg in the form of Gurana.

Also while the ephedrine and caffeine numbers seem in line with products of the day, it also had dosing guidelines that put your average to large sized bodybuilder around 2 - 2 1/2 that per serving.

Also I used to joke that Ultimate Orange looked liked a few bottles of Diet Fuel dumped into some carb powder with a hope for the best. Well I recently found this, which adds some credence to it -

Journal of Analytical Toxicology, Vol. 28, April 2004

Concentrations of Ephedra Alkaloids and Caffeine in
Commercial Dietary Supplements .


Edit - Just search the above title in Google and the study will come right up. You can't hot link to it, but the full study usually comes up in the first 1/2 dozen links.

Wow at how off some of it was.

I tried a tub of one of the first batches that came out in 1991, it definitely had something in it, my strength shot up, but cosmetically, because of my shit diet back then, had almost no impact visually. The shit was pretty expensive, and all I could afford was one measly tub, so nonetheless, the magic stopped after I finished it. Ultimate Orange just had a shit load of guarana and ephedra. Since i was already taking the stack of ephedrine HCL, caffeine and aspirine, the UO had barely any buzz on me, and for the price, Dymetadryne 25 had more bang for the buck and at least you knew the exact dosage of what you'd take; the only bummer was the amount of pills to be taken prior to a workout, but damn it gave a good buzz...
Long Live Mighty Dan Duchaine and his crude genius back then...

Never got to use to try Hot Stuff or Ultimate Orange but did try the pro hormones when they were legal and first came out. They definitely worked. Did the ones that converted to D-Bol and Deca supposedly got good results could see the difference. Did them with Creatine was a nice stack.

I grew up in the ultimate orange arrow and whatever the fuck was in ultimate orange was in a class by itself it doesn't compare to even the potent pre workouts on the market today such as jacked or dark rage.

I never bothered with Hot Stuff much.. As it tasted like gasoline to me. As did the original Matrix actually all the metrics products taste like shit to me up until 2002 except for their original metrics protein bars of Which ion every single day for lunch in high school. About 80% where the extreme vanilla flavor the rest or some sort of chocolate graham cracker flavor later on in like 99/2000
