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.

I remember I read about M1T in an MD magazine, found a website that sold it and bought some thinking it was just another testosterone booster, I swear like a week after I started taking it my bench was up 30lbs, that shit worked like magic, I would stay on it for months without a break, then the government classified it as an illegal substance lol, after that I was like fuck it what else can I get

Let's see...

Gamma Oryzanol
Vanadyl Sulfate
Chromium Pinocchio nose
MetRx - the original cost of this stuff was beyond ridiculous.  The marketing was brilliant.

Then, I bought a few amps of Negma Parabolin.  It was at that point that I realized these miracle muscle supplements were nothing but BS and a total waste of money.

I think my first box of 90 was like half my fucking paycheck that week, FFS. I could actually FEEL the muscle growing while I was "on" MetRX.

Yeah, I thought something great was going to happen too.

I was easily my strongest around that time in the bench, military and squat around that time...but I knew nothing about techniques, scaling back, etc....

All of them. I wasted a shitload of money. Test boosters and pre workouts were the main culprits.

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

oh man i forgot about vanadyl and boron. Yup tried those too  :-\

I bought Hot Stuff years ago when Evander Holyfield advertised for them. I actually did put on alot of size, but I was 16-17 years old at the time. There were rumors that the original batches had Dbol in them. ;D

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.

Haha was my first supplement purchase as well. I couldn't even take those fucking horse pills back then. Now I can swallow loads of pills by the handful #nohomo

the dbal dose would not even be consistent in your body, I doubt those rumours were ever true.
Supps that have been proven tainted were just made after some UG crew made a batch or orals using the machine, lol.. Not enough dose to do anything.

Test boosters, fancy creatine delivery systems (phosphagen hp), and a few biotest products. However, I think that Indigo 3G shit is legit  :o

It wasn't from lack of want, it was from lack of cash, I remember a bottle was like $70 - 80 at my local GNC on sale. And all the smaller bottles of EAS supplements were in a locked display case, so you'd have to get a manager to come over if you wanted it, which was actually helpful, because the hassle made you forget about it after a while.

It remember the whole hustle, Phosphagen gave you Dianabol like pumps, and HMB felt like deca. While I didn't believe that, in my teenage mind I figured may be it would be like a low dose of Anavar, afterall, Bill Phillips wouldn't lie to us, he was one of us.... :).

By the time I saved up enough birthday money to afford the full EAS stack (which was probably $200 - 300 a month), everyone figured out that it was just horseshit, and I stopped caring about whether HMB felt like deca  ;D ;D.

There was a Weider product called Protein 101 or some such name. Anyway, that was way back in the early seventies and boy did that one taste good. Sweet, but tasty. Good for getting more calories in.

Shortly after getting a can of this yummy stuff all the Weider supplements were taken off the shelves. The Australian government tested some products and found that the contents didn't match what was printed

on the labels. The amounts of protein inside were greatly exaggerated. That 101 never appeared in Australia again which is a shame. Weider was fined $ and the money was forwarded to genuine research into nutrition.

I don't use or recommend supplements. Study nutrition and buy what you need at the super market. You don't need all that extra protein. A big lie still peddled by the supplement sponsored magazines.

I usually just stuck to whey and creatine and wouldn't say either is a waste since whey is basically food and creatine works (at least for me).

However, I occasionally got natural test boosters and fat burners (hydroxycuts) and they basically did fuck all despite being fairly pricey. Wasted some cash by getting sucked in by the fancy labels and marketing.

You must now explain what you mean by "legit" and then prove that you don't work for Biotest.
