Does anyone actually take supplements anymore?
« on: September 19, 2008, 08:16:49 PM »
besides whey (which i dont think is anything but for $$- just eat some fucking steak/rice after workout) there is pretty much nothing except the classic ECA stack which is worth a shit. Creatine - yea, ok maybe. Unless u are using steroids, 90% of supplements are useless. Flavored sugar in a jug. Vitamins and minerals are legit.

Supplement IMO add 5 pounds for thousand of dollars worth of supplements from Muscletech when Dianabol at 50 mg a day will add 25 pounds of mass on a dedicated natural in 2 weeks.
Am i missing something.

No! They are a total waste of money.  If you want to get big naturally, eat food.  If you want to get big and dont care about being natural, take drugs and eat food.  Supplements are a joke.

some of the post ban 3rd (4rth?) gen pro-hormones show some promise, but may not be worth the price.

Had some luck with 11-oxo a year ago, not sure if it's still on the market (and definitely way too expensive)

The way I look at it is at least with steroids you don't have to wonder if they are going to work.

That's exactly how it is. In my experience, even Creatine has no or insignificant impact. The only thing that makes sense is using protein powder out of convenience. It's an outright lie of the supplement industrie that anything other than hormones, anabolic steroids, or pro-hormones will advance you in bodybuilding. If you believe in that lie, try doing the exact same thing two times in a row, one time with a certain supplement and next time without.

Me too. For the current diet I even ditched the multi-vits. I'm pretty sure that eating enough meat, fruits and veggies provides all nutrients in a much healthier form.

i have never noticed any difference on and off creatine. used it for periods or over 4 months and when i went off i noticed zero difference in strength.

im using whey ofcourse. but its mostly cause im to lazy to cook somethimes if i could i would eat real food all the time. multi vitamin/ mineral supplement so i know im getting all that crap in..

bought bcaa and eaa now. maybe a waste of money..

are you guys trying to suggest that the scientific studies of Anator P70®™ by Muscle Tech®™ⓒ shown to increase muscle mass and strength gains by 12,066% are bullshit?

The big problem is that supplement compagny make big comercial with beautiful girl and big guy and when young people look that they think that's gonna work for them too.

Even in all magasin when they said u have to eat a huge amount of protein that's tottaly wrong but they tell u that cause they know u ll have to take supplement to get that huge amount of protein.

Just eat right and u ll grow.

Whey or other protein shakes must be okay, IF they really contain that 20-30g protein/serving. It's concentrated food, nothing more, so must be as good as meat or better. My problem is with the "IF". Sometimes I feel, it's just flavours, stabilisers, sugars, an there is no supermatrix hydrofiltered ion exchanged denaturated protein in it...  ::)

I just take a multivitamin to make up for the fact that I don't eat many green vegetables in my diet. I also take zinc and Omega 3,6 and 9 capsules. I don't take anything else and haven't used creatine in well over five years. I tried glutamine a few years back but it did absolutely nothing for me.

The funniest thing is that the biggest pusher of BS products is "no bull" radio. You can almost hear the embarrassment in Dave's voice when he has to sort of affirm John's rants about how "awesome" he feels and how much better he "recuperates" on certain supps.

I take whey, a multi vit and some fish oil and glucosamine. Looking at getting some ZMA too. Thats it though.

Most people my age who are into lifting/bb'ing take WAY more shit than i do...
No doubt about it...
