once again, dave jacobs was running a UGL in his basement and supplying to half the top pros in the IFBB.............and EVERYONE raved about his shit
i understand HG is preferable, but UG, if manufactured honestly and correctly , is just as good ................if it was good enough for branch warren and quincy taylor, its good enough for anyone
Pros can be just like any other bodybuilders - stupid. Really fucking stupid. OTOH one top pro, as in winning IFBB shows recently, told a friend of mine a while ago how he doesn't use any "UG shit", HG all the way. Now I'm sure he has to go UG for some compounds but obviously always prefers pharma gear. Another pro told me, as we were discussing his future plans and goals, "you know as well as I do, VB, that how well I do all depends on if I can get the best HG gear and GH instead of that China shit. On my level this is really the deciding factor". So not every pro raves about UG.
Do you ever go on Llewellyn's site? I can't confirm if what someone says on there regarding UG powders is true since I'm not in the pharma industry but some of these guys seem to know what they talk about. Stuff like how most powders come from chemical houses and not real pharmaceutical manufacturers. The stuff is crap (relatively speaking) most of the time.
This "Dragunov" guy seems to know what he's talking about. See this post for example. How you need a pharma licence to import the good stuff and how most "top" UG labs don't even know the basics of how to make a quality end product:

Just like anyone operating a kitchen lab like that. There is zero quality assurance despite the best intentions. I bet Jacobs was really really small fry in the UG market anyway.
