They also sent other booklets on strongman stunts, self defence, how to pick up girls.

I never needed help in any of those areas.

You're like a fourteen year old schoolbitch who sees a picture of Kate Moss in a fashion magazine and wants to become a model

Ha ha ha. I think you have to be over 40 to recognize that.

Did those silly ads run on the West Coast too?

but thats better than being bullied as a kid and go into bbuilding as a reaction to that.

no, it's not. it's a healthy reaction to an unhealthy situation in your life. you may or may not end up being a long-term drug user like a lot of people on this thread.

going into bodybuilding because you saw a picture in a magazine, means you are highly impressionable. And while this may be normal for teenagers, I suspect that adults who retain this trait will be equally suggestible to a plethora of other areas in their life.

Maybe you'd like to get extra cash by selling Grit?

Although I never tried Cybergenics I can't believe I used to fall for those ads when I first started training.
