Any one try the new HOT STUFF?...is it any good at all?....I was thinking of trying it out......what do you guys think?
I haven't used that in almost 20 years! Basically, Hot Stuff was bthe NITRO-TECH of the late 80s/early 90s. It was/is a protein powder, mixed with about a dozen of the most popular supplements at that time. The concept was that Hot Stuff was a one-stop supplement. Instead of buying Boron, Smilax, Orchic, Ginseng, OKG, a separate protein powder, etc., you could just uy Hot Stuff. As more new "wonder supplements emerged, they got thrown into Hot Stuff.
In two short years, Hot Stuff went from being advertised on cheap B&W flyers in gyms and local GNCs in Florida to becoming a nation-wide smash (I remember seeing the flyers in Bally, back then). Other companies started making knock-offs (Real Strong Stuff, Hot Body, Flex Fire, Muscle Stuff, etc.).
National Health Products, the company that makes Hot Stuff, used up-and-coming NPC amateurs and powerlifters from Florida to market their top seller. They did get one IFBB pro as an endorser, Steve Brisbois.
But, their marketing campaign with him consisted of a two-page confessional, in which Brisbois claimed to have sworn off steroid use, after witnessing the death of his friend, Mohammed Benaziza, just after Benaziza won a pro show. From that point, he planned to compete naturally and looked for a company with the best supplements to aid his quest, which of course was National Health Products and its top dog, Hot Stuff.
When MET-Rx came on the scene, Hot Stuff's popularity waned, and eventually, it faded into obscurity, despite numerous revamps. As I remember, the legal troubles came, because Hot Stuff was called an "anabolic activator", which peaked the curiosity of the FDA. To ward off the dogs, NHP simply changed Hot Stuff's category to "fitness potentiator".
