yeah man the basics. a mulit and aminos i use too. f**k all this NO shit and P70, bullshit nonsense.

It's amazing how even some competitive, steroid using, bodybuilders are falling for this NO scam. They put some stimulants in the NO formulas so you get a "kick" thinking it is actually doing something for growth and strength when it's just the caffeine etc.

they aren't falling for it, they are helping to sell it.

I fell for it once when I got started as a kid in '92 with cybergentics.. 120 bucks, it came with the video tape and some pills and some before and after pics of "people that got huge on this in 2 months" As a kid 120 bucks is some big bucks..

Cybergenics, damn that brings back memories. The pitch man Franco Santorellio I recall, claimed "cybergenetics" helped him get big. He couldnt even get the name out right $:-\$

Micronized creatine mixed with gycerol and dextrose (grape juice) works well for me (I heard if you eat allot of red meat creatine won't due shit. I take whey, sugar and BCAA's after a work out.
ECA ripped allot of weight off me back in the day
Pro-hormones helped me take weight off my pockets
And finally when I took a real "supplement" Winstrol, it helped me bust through a platue and make strenght gains week after week but I only take it for 5 weeks at a time - and keep the strenght when go off.

Winstrol (every now and than) creatine, protein powder, sugar, and tuna is all I need

I can't believe it was still around in '92. When I was a freshman at Maryland in 1987, only one guy had the moola to do the Cybergenics scam. The recommended workout was insanely IMPOSSIBLE, thus guaranteeing that since no one could possibly follow it, no one could prove it didn't work and be entitled to a refund. I remember the jackass trying to do the workout which called for every single set to be performed to POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE FAILURE, which basically meant having someone lift the weight for you on every rep beyond positive failure. What a joke. When the Cybergenics douchebag came into the gym, everyone pretended not to see him so he wouldn't ask you for a "spot".

I think the Cybergenics guy was the same dude behind Xenadrine. At least he comes up with cool names.

Did any of you guys ever take those Joe Weider pre-work out powdered carb sticks (from ca 92-93) - they came in little bags as a powder (kinda like a pixy-stick) and you just dump all the powder in your mouth and it turns into like a gum that you chew and swallow - they didn't due shit but taste pretty good?

Hey, Special'Model-101'Ed...I knew a guy named Harry Thanos who was 'sponsored' by Cybergenics. He told me the TRUTH!!!! He was paid to deplete for 3 months...super low cal diet, no training whatsoever and was ordered to eat junk and crap and not to tan nothing.

After he went into crap mode...hairy, 40lbs lighter, off gear, hardly eating, unshaven he then was ordered to go back 'on' and start training hard. They came to take the 'After' pics of him when he was shaved down, waxed, tan, peaking and carbed-up. Took a few snap shots holding a current newspaper, wrote him a check and off to the airport.

Only in America.

NFL Rookie of the Year and SD Charger LBer Shawn Merriman claims that his NFL suspension for testing positive for NANDROLONE is unfair because it was in a supplement that he was taking.

When asked for the name of the supplement he was taking, his agent replied, "Deca-Durabolin."

Dont forget the rumors that steroids were in early batches of "Hot Stuff"... (Just so people would buy it up after Roids became illegal)..

I wonder if anyone ever bought Vinny Mac's ICOPRO line, when the WBF were around... Garbage..

This means that lobbyist will be wanting to come down harder on the supplement industry selling fat soccer moms that there are 'dangerous' and 'illegal' and 'poisonous' steroids in everything and anything that can be bought at a punk ass GNC.

Watch for the ban or call of having to be over 18 or 21 to purchase 'whey protein'.

This also shows how lawyers(except for suave pimps like the Collins firm) know dick about supplements and steroids and so does the rest of America and Washington. It's this kind of ignorance that will make US pay for it and the bold face lie by NFL'er recently who pissed hot.

Today on the drive to work I was listening to an AM sports talk station and was baffled by the 'arm chair' know it alls on sports talk radio who were saying things like..."...that's why I dont buy anything from GNC...I don't want my nuts to fall off and I like having hair" or "...yea, I used to drink those protein drinks but had to get off cuz I was getting roid rage all the time..."

You see?

Man I loved GHB. I slept like a baby. Would get it from a friend who was a pharmasist. I never asked but why couldn't you drink it plain. I tried a little and if I remember it was really salty. What made it like that

Some used sodium as a base some used Ka, the sodium worked the best, yeah back in the day you HAD to cut it because it was to strong unless you had a tolerance for it.

I actually got great results by mixing MetRx with Optimum Nutrition 100% whey protein power 50:50 ratio. I can't explain it, but for some odd reason mixing the two together gave me fantastic gains. Haven't used MetRx in a few years though, but still have a 5lb tub of protein powder on the counter.
