I actually tried the weight gainer, Mega-Gro 10,000. It had the consistency of mud but tasted OK.

What about glandulars? I get the best results using glandulars versus plain aminos...

Betagen was so damn expensive. I can't believe that I used to spend that kind of cash. Now, plain old creatine is so cheap, and the best way to go.  ;D

I was in high school when Hot stuff on the market. I never bought it, but remembering back then there weren't too many good supplements on the market.

Oh yeah, I used to remember when beta-gen was rediculously expensive too. I wasted so much money at one point.

Agreed: all are overpriced, but if you wait steadily and then hit hard when the shit get's down right dirt cheap on sale, you can't go wrong. :D...I got a 7 boxes of Detour bars today at GNC, all were 60 cents each! Shit is going on sale...I just bought all they had. Not a bad deal, they only have 30g protein so I just eat two. But for that cheap and so many, you just can't beat it.

M1T is good but very toxic... if you're going to take something like that.. you might as well do some gear... (steroids). I wouldn't even put that in the supplement group.

GNC usually only does that when things are expired or about to expire.  Check your dates.  Some bars just taste "off" when they're not fresh.

Yeah they taste rancid due to the spoilage of the fats in them. Chocolate start to taste sour.

Hey guys! What about a combo of Methoxy & Ecdy? I used to train with a minimum to no supps added to my training routine in the past and recently started to use these two in combination with HMB and NO2. Now in a few months down the road I can see noticeable difference - definitely added on some muscle.

SDI labs sucks, it's not real gear anyway. So how can you get gains from something that the product is not?

As far as the arginine goes. I will debate on that subject. I agree that most arginine supplements do not
completely do what they are suppposed to do because you body produces most of teh arginine you need already.
L-Norvalline is a arginase inhibitor-Which mean it tricks your bodys natural Nitric Oxide storages to low, so you body
will be in a state of temporary depletion. Any arginine taken during this state of deprivation will be used to increase the
"low" storages you body is tricked into believing. This will allow you to supersaturate your system with Arginine. More arginine
in the body will increase blood flow, and nutrient delievery to working muscles.

Vyotech's Nitrobolic is one of these products
The people who make muscle milk  have a product also that has L-Norvalline(just not as much arginine types in the product)

I've tried it. It works pretty well. But, a word of advice. TAKE THE PILLS!!!! The so-called "Glacer Punch" powder tastes TERRIBLE!!! Imagine strawberry Kool-Aid with laundry detergent, instead of sugar, added to it.

YUUUUUUCKKK!!!

Well I guess I don't have any supplements that I hate right now but I really do like the following:

Muscle milk is probably the best supplement ever - so far the lowest price I have found it for is at Supplements Outlet http://www.supplementsoutlet.com/cytosport.html

I really like NO Xplode but I think it works best together with Nitrix and CellMass in what they call the BSN Mass Stack http://www.performancenutrition.com/Shopping/product.asp?catalog_name=Performance&category_name=&product_id=massstack

I also recommend MHP T Bomb II.  With MHP T-Bomb II, I pretty much exploded muscle wise.  I put on almost 8 pounds of muscle and some of my lifts went up by 20lbs http://www.performancenutrition.com/Shopping/product.asp?catalog_name=Performance&category_name=&product_id=MHP-205

I also use designer whey sometimes http://www.performancenutrition.com/Shopping/product.asp?catalog_name=Performance&category_name=&product_id=NNDW

oh and Nitro Tech Protein bars http://www.performancenutrition.com/Shopping/product.asp?catalog_name=Performance&category_name=&product_id=MTNTB

wU-sOLdiEr ,
You could of got the same results using a much cheaper product.  Check main necessary ingredients on labels and compare. Prob could of saved yourself over $20 and maybe gotten better results.  Muscle tech is advertised all over the bodybuilding magazines.  Any product that advertises will sell no matter how crappy it is.  I suggest you really read labels and compare, and save your money.

Shakh,
Supplements are not worthless.  Some are.  But there are a lot that do actually help you build muscle and recover.  Anyone that works out to build muscle needs extra vitamins and protein and various amino acids for recovery. Its been proven I do not see any muscular guys out there that wont take extra protein in some form.  Vegetarians for example for the most part are thin.  Ive never seen a vegetarian body builder out there.  Got to get enough protein somewhere. 
Supplements are not dangerous everything can be dangerous too you.  If you drank tooo much water it could be dangerous.

Again, I have to ask the question: How do you think MuscleTech got all of that money to advertise? Did some rich but bored billionaire just drop a multi-million dollar budget into that company's account, and bless them saying, "Be fruitful and advertise!!"?

Go back about 10 years and look at the ads for that company. Go back about 15 and look at the ads for MET-Rx. Look how hokey they were back then; look at them NOW!!

I remember when the ads for a certain "anabolic activator" made by a then-Florida-based company, were in black-and-white. They were endorsed by local and state-level bodybuilders and powerlifters.

The only magazine that carried the ads as Florida Muscle News, now, known as Southern Muscle Plus. Within a few short years, that product (which you've probably guessed is none other than HOT STUFF) was selling like hotcakes and later advertised in all the major muscle magazine. Before you knew it, other companies were coming up with their own "Stuff".

Why certain folks are all bend out of shape about advertisng is beyond me. That's how you market the product, which in turn makes $$$ to pay the bills.

I have to agree with alot of what is said here except the NO2 on good and bad. I thought the Nitrix was horrible, but it all depends on each individual what works for you might not work for me, but Nitrix was horrible for me. However PumpTech is the best product I've ever used and its probably the best NO2 out. I also want to agree with CellTech really doing nothing at all and being overpriced on top of it. I also want to say I good product Ive used is Muscle Milk, its pricey unless you buy it online where it is very cheap. It is the only protein I have been able to actually lean out while taking it.  Usually I gain a bunch of weight and then have to double up the cardio to drop some of it off which i know kills muscle as well, but with Muscle Milk I can take that, do my normal lifting routine and only have to hit up the cardio for about 30 mins a day.

i think if you told someone they were taking creatine, nitric oxide, or even steroids and they were really taking a placebo in the form of sugar pills they would make gains... it's just mind over matter sometimes... maybe some companies are just selling sugar pills that make you have a "15% increase in strength instantly..."  things that make you go hmm? just my 2 cents.
