MAGA in a bottle -

The Beast was way more jacked than the Russian Bear -

Wasn’t the guy on the Russian Bear supposed to be some beloved Soviet strong man? I remember how much sugar was in it and I think the scoops were huge.

Mr America 1964. He also claimed a bunch of odd records, like best table top curl, and stuff like that. It's been said that he wasn't even Russian, and his real name was Val Valentino. He was great at small time promotion, constantly pitching his products.

Pretty sweet fake bench press in this little vid -

I think the ads ran in musclemag or ironman at the time. Could have been cybergenics or met-rx, but the owner's photo was prominent in the ad. He was in his mid 40s I guess.
But he didn't look muscular at all, does anyone know which brand or owner it was?

"Does cybergenics work?" Of course, it was one of musclemags biggest advertisers

Huge money maker. At one time the owner had one of the biggest high end guitar collections in America. He later owned Cytodyne (Xenadrine, Taraxatone), another huge supplement success.

I miss the training outfits and haircut's.
The 90’s was action packed, str8 iconic. People on the streets knew nothing about gear, just protein shakes. I'm 61 know I'm still a natural guy that been lifting since 1973. That's when mother first bought us the 100 lb workout gym. I still own all the magazines, from the era. Btw, is there a market for the golden era magazines? Hit me up @ mackbrown@duck.com. I'm looking for STRONG HGH. BTW IS STEROIDSHOP LEGIT?.?

All the stuff that I couldn’t afford and am now glad I didn’t waste my money on. Sure I bought lots of fart powder and something at GNC here and there but some guys wasted thousands of Daddy’s money (like Hankins) on worthless shit before realizing it was all a scam and only gear works.

Oh, and the purveyors of all these lies belong in jail or sent to Iran

Hankins has repeatedly said testosterone is not a steroid!  Get it straight.

Seeing guys looking small in their tracksuits, drawn faces and then they walk out on stage and their physiques just explode. I just miss the conditioning of the 90s guys. This new modern fat face full full look just doesn't compare. To easy to hide weaknesses with the lack of conditioning of the modern guys.

I should have had him as a coach back in the 90's.

In the late 90's, Durateston was going around these parts.  Brazilian sustanon basically.  Best testosterone I've ever used.
