90’s bodybuilding era things we miss

[tacobender]

I miss getting my monthly subscription to muscle and fitness watching shows on TV general nutrition centers, commercials 90s bodybuilders, like Porter cotrell, achim albrecht , sonney Schmidt, Al Hurley and obviously all the top pros of the 90s. I miss when they have pictures of the food groups that were essential that 90s really was the golden era.

I miss being young and stupid and believing that Muscletech or MetRx was going to change my life.

lol I agree I remember they used to say when you stacked sell tech and nitro tech you were going to gain 400% lol to be quite honest that other creatine was way better you bought it at GNC. I know the name it’s at the tip of my tongue. Phosphegen hp

Wasn't Cell Tech like 5g of creatine in 70g of fucking dextrose?

I'm surprised that shit didn't give more people diabetes.

10 grams of creatine. I think the 70 grams of glucose was based on the oral insulin tolerance test as that's the dosage.

I never thought of trying higher doses but after seeing clips on IG of people using up to 30 grams per single morning dosing to boost mental performance I've been trying it. Been taking it with 20iu of Novorapid insulin and 200 grams of sugars/quick carbs to drive it in. Diabeetus!

25-30 grams fights sleep deprivation

Miss all the supplements and their designs like Twinlab muscle fuel, ripped fuel. Ultimate Orange. The gyms were bright colored or at least had color. Access to steroid information was a secret and once you came across it you read as much as you could get your hands on. The workout gear was corny as hell but do miss the baggy pants. ESPN workout shows in the morning. And every once in a while you’d see a bodybuilding show on ESPN as well.

90s bodybuilders were like a cast of characters when the magazines came out - they seemed to all have a personality that came out of the pages. Porter was the fireman, Matarazzo was the tough guy, Flex the diva, Nasser the thinker. Good times.

I miss Muscle Phone!

[LurkerNoMore]

I miss :

Knowing all the top BBers name and contest history.  Have no clue about the current guys.  After Heath I only know Flexatron and Lumpsford as winners of the O.   Curry won too I think. 

Small stomachs

The “feuds”

[NaturalWonder83]

I have a fond memory from when I was a kid and my father would bring me to our local gym for us to get drinks from their cooler. The gym was small and had neon bright lights all over the place. It was always loud in there and I remember hearing the members yelling and smashing weights.There were always these big guys sitting at the juice/shake bar who were dressed in crazzee pants and tank tops with Ultimate Warrior hair. Lots of women doing aerobics in the studios as well.

I miss the training outfits and haircut's.

Nothing will surpass original Muscle Milk from like 2004.  Chocolate was great, but IMO the "Orange Creme" and "Blueberry Creme" versions were the best shakes ever made.

MetRx always tasted like chemical chalk to me.

Muscle Milk was delicious. Did you ever try the VPX protein bars? They were my favorites.

[NaturalWonder83]

How about Tiger's Milk Bars, Hot Stuff, and Cybergenics?

Russian Bear weight gainer was great as well.

I remember spending $180 bucks I didn't have on the 60 serving box, thinking that was going to "make a difference".

Yep, those are the ones. I definitely remember Chef Jay bars. They were so high in fat if I remember. I think Muscle Sandwiches are still surviving from that era and were similar.
