Back in the early 2000's I wasted so much money buying every new product that came out at GNC, I think the one I really bought into was the whole myostatin protein thing

Hulkotron · « **Reply #1 on:** February 13, 2015, 08:22:01 PM »

I bought some glutamine once, 2007 or so.

BB · « **Reply #2 on:** February 13, 2015, 08:32:27 PM »

Not many, but glutamine, DHEA, and one of the first generation andro products (Andro Fuel) come to mind. I've bought other products over the years with various degrees of success, but those three I felt nothing from.

Gainers Fuel. Probably pure sugar

First supplement I ever bought was Twinlabs Amino Fuel. I thought I was going to get so jacked it made me feel super good. Probably just worth the money for the false beliefs as a teenager. Studies have already shown you can grow muscle just by thinking about it.

Hot Stuff and some kind of 3000 calorie diarrhea inducer.

agenda21nwo · « **Reply #6 on:** February 13, 2015, 09:06:10 PM »

Protein, Creatin, Nitric Oxide and some others.

Almost all supplements are unnecessary.

Got suckered into buying Smilax in the late 80's.

I purchased muscle-tech products back in the day.

I also used to take waxy maize. I actually thought it was a good product. Perhaps a placebo effect.

Pray_4_War · « **Reply #9 on:** February 13, 2015, 09:27:27 PM »

Only thing I ever took other than protein powder was creatine and glutamine. I didn't take it for very long but I tried it. Even back in the day I kept it pretty simple.

Master Blaster · « **Reply #10 on:** February 13, 2015, 09:44:27 PM »

original Hot Stuff. Could swear that shit made me grow, maybe I got one of the special batches.

Pray_4_War · « **Reply #11 on:** February 13, 2015, 09:53:14 PM »

Oh shit, I used to take Ultimate Orange sometimes before training. Usually on leg day. Sorry heart valves, lol.

I remember I bought done creatine when I was around 15. I stared at the can thinking "I'm going to be fucking huge." Then I gain 5 lbs of water and felt like shitting my pants for a week. $:-\$

I had pretty good results from creatine effervescent by FSI.

I will say one thing about effervescent creatine, I always got a really great pump when I used it.

when I was in high school I stayed the night at my buddies house, we got up in the morning and I tried a big glass of his creatine drink, everything was cool then we got on the school bus and my stomach started rumbling, then to make things worse at the next stop the hot little blonde chick I like sits by me and by that time I was squeezing my ass cheeks together trying not to shit my pants and sweating bullets, she kept trying to talk to me but I didn't even hear what she was saying I was just thinking omg I'm gonna shit my pants, finally we get to the school and I jump over everyone and run off the bus, got to the bathroom just in time.... It was a few years before I tried creatine again

They discontinued the one by FSI

Was so pissed. But I loved it. I definitely got results from it. Creatine is the only supplement that has actually worked for me. All the other supplements were just crap.

a lot of supplements. all worked.
and i supported the industry = double win

devilsmile · « **Reply #20 on:** February 14, 2015, 02:10:13 AM »

I bought all of them.

I found out that only Star Nutrition's octane amino acid powder is useful

And ANY product from Driven Sports

Driven Sports = truth

Ron Jeremy · « **Reply #21 on:** February 14, 2015, 02:18:50 AM »

Vanadyl (v2g) , boron, glutamine. All shit. Only product that ever worked was ephedra/ephedrine and cheap caffeine pills (.67 cents for 100) from Walmart.

Darren Avey · « **Reply #22 on:** February 14, 2015, 02:33:16 AM »

All of it, I always believed the ads, oh yeh I ll put 60lbs on my bench with nitro tech cell tech stack! Didn't happen! all I got was a bloated gut. I gae the shit away to someone even more gullible than me.

JasonH · « **Reply #23 on:** February 14, 2015, 02:57:09 AM »

One of the first supplements I ever bought as a naive bodybuilding teenager was this thing called FRAC - weird green tablets that tasted nasty as hell. Didn't get a thing from it. Never really fell for anything like that again thankfully and just relied on protein powders mainly.

Creatine does work though - first time I used it there were noticeable differences in strength and size. I think I'm kind of immune to it now though.

I am pretty sure I tried absolutely every bottle of snake oil that hit the market since 1984 in a vain effort to avoid the dark side.
