I wish I can go back just a few years when ephedra was available in every gas station and corner grocery store...now I have to make my calls, leave text messages and pay triple what I used to pay to get it. Also...1-test products were fun to!

Where you at Block? I'm in a small town in Canada and this stuff is sold but 5 mins from my house.

In the US it is banned, not sure if any other countries jumped on the ban-wagon....

In Chicago.

Peep this yo...I can buy ephedrine hcl with the whole guifenesin thing at this local gas station run by Arabs, right?

It's like $3.99 for a packet of 12 gel caps. You can only buy 1 every 24 hours and you got to sing this sheet. The Arab guys are cool though let me me buy 3 or 4 packets at a time and they letme put in fake names/addresses...so anyway the moral of my story is...

I know all these people who just dont know ephedrine can be bought under that label so they ask me if I can get them ephedrine so I always say..."yea, man letme make some calls...that siht is BANNED all over Illinois and Indiana...I have a hook up who gets it imported to him from Utah(just made it up...Utah sounds cooler than Iowa) let me see how many he has...I grab my cell and pretend to call "my hookup" and have a fake conversation with "him" in front of whoever asks me to get them ephedrine so I'm all like..."yea,...you have any left...oh, good...yea I need...48 tabs...yea, 4 packets...thats cool...okay I'll drop by your place tomorrow night...okay thanks...yea, thanks I appreciate it...cool...alright I'll call you tomorrow..." Then I tell them..."Yea you're in luck...he has some left he's waiting for another shipment but he isnt sure how long it will be...he charges $15 a packet.."
So they give me $60 I turn around and spend $16 and some change at the gas station by my work and deliver the goods the next night...cha-ching!!!!

Early 70's - Sergio and Arnold at their best. Draper still looking big, Nubret, Casey Viator coming up... some crazy years.

And Sergio Oliva was simply put... The Myth.

Bob Gibson's ERA of 1.12 in 1968. The year of the pitcher. Oh, you mean bodybuilding era?

From Ghetto to Glory. I met Bob Gibson back in high school. He went to the same high school as my friends mom. He was in town for something and went to go see her. She called me and I hauled ass over to meet him. He a giant to me. I wrote 3 book reports on his book

Early 90's rule. Lee Haney, Rich Gaspari, Lee Labrada ect.. QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY.

JaggyShortBuff · « **Reply #36 on:** September 12, 2006, 08:11:37 PM »

The 90's had balance and conditioning...and many of the pro's of that era competed at several shows a year...The top ten of the 90's Olympias were a tough crowd to beat....

I met him when I was 8 or so. My childhood best friend was cousins or perhaps nephew with someone on the Cardinals at that time, Julian Javier I seem to remember.

For me it would be the 70's. You didn't have to deal with half the bullshit that's going on today.

80's and 90's the people were so much more genuine and the whole scene was bigger than life . admit it we all had baggy pants and string t's and hair!

The 90's followed closely by the 70's.

So when did bodybuilding get to what is is now? Because in the 90's atleast everyone respected everyone. And many of the top pros trained together even if they were competing for the same show. big paul and priest were roomates. Now its like cut throat. WHERES THE LOVE.
