X-Tren was discontinued some time ago.

It looks like M-Drol and P-Plex will both be discontinued as well.

Decisions could be made to discontinue more products depending on how things go this week.

Past this, we really wont be commenting much until more is known.

I'm sorry, but you are not forced to do anything, and to even entertain the notion that the FDA can be blamed for the shady practices by some companies only shows lack of intelligence with your rationale of reality.

I was looking into this today, and noticed CEL's website now only has Cycle Assist and PCT Assit listed as products. Nothing else. However, I think thatwhen I looked a few weeks ago they did not have any of the newer products listed.

So I should stock up from any websites that still offer H-drol and M-drol. DAMNIT doesn't the govt have more important things to worry about. :swordfight:

I swear most guys are ****ing lazy. Bodybuilding comes from hard work, not pills in a bottle. Hell, most guys have run multiple cycles and still weigh 175 or less. Unreal.
I'm sorry for the people this post will piss off.....maybe it will open some eyes.
I don't particularly like this either, but it's not the end of the world. I'll continue to bust my ass in the gym even turning 46 in November

While I agree that bodybuilding is mostly related to proper training and exercise,supplementation does play a integral role to many people.

It seems like the above sentiment is a bit uncalled for in this thread as it is perfectly okay for people to ask if products that they like and enjoy will still be made or not.

Btw... if you start at 130 lbs like myself and weigh over your stated 175 lbs lean, thats not bad and no one should be criticized for that. I understand your point, but before you insult people in general, its important to note that different people have different starting points.

.... you edited your post, so I am editing mine to commend you on the dedication that you have at your age.

I'm sorry you feel it is uncalled for. I know this hurts CEL's business as it does others. Everyone certainly can ask any question they wish, but most guys feel this is the end of the world. Most youngs guys these days don't really know what hard dedicated training is. Many have never made gains without an oral steroid or PH. And that is what I think is a shame. Now, I do think these substances are a good aid in training just like you state good supplementation is. But training and diet should come first and that is what is not happening these days. Everyone wants muscle now and they think they can get it from a pill and that is just not true. I have taken my fair share of stuff but I still think the main emphasis should be on diet and training, be it at 46 or 26. Now granted, gains comes harder at 46 than 26, but that doesn't mean you should change the way you should eat and train. And congrats on your gains! Just because someone isn't past 175 lbs doesn't mean they haven't accomplished their goals. It was just a reference.
But I do think someone less than 175 has more than enough potential to get to that weight without taking any PH's or steroids.

I will say that dj806 does have a point about bodybuilding and how it is more than popping pills. I do believe that the only limits are those that you bind your mind too. on the other hand one can not deny the limits of genetics and some of these tools when used properly and correctly can help you defy to boundaries of micro and macro biology!! some scientific break throughs will only be used for the power elite who have no rules (i.e. politicians, lawmakers, etc.. . . .) and when the majority utilizes these same tools they are punished 8(. . . sometimes life seems so unfair untill you realize we all have a CHOICE!

i don't feel people need alcohol/cigarettes/or big macs, but i don't think the government should have the right to deprive them of these things.

I do agree that people need to understand the importance of proper diet and training. We as a company cannot make people train and eat properly, no one can. The people that are going to do that are going to do that, and the people that aren't simply aren't, whether these types of products are available or not.

I didnt take issue with you expressing your opinion on proper diet and supplementation, but I dont feel that is fair to insult people, or to criticize people for asking questions. Certainly, some people rely too heavily on ph's, just as some people rely too heavily on protein shakes versus whole foods (myself included), but either way, they have the right to ask whether products that they like will continue to be made. Hell, if they ban protein blends, I'd be the first person posting if Synthra-6 would still be made lol.

It is certainly not the end of the world from a consumer perspective, but the issue is two fold to many people. From a bodybuilding standpoint, it is about losing products that can help you reach your goals. From a personal standpoint to many people, its about the gov't making more and more rules to dictate personal responsibility and decision making.

While I am well past the 175 mark and will probably never see that weight again if I dont chop a leg off lol, I do think that there are plenty of people out there that have genetic limitations well beneath that mark without extra assistance. For example, I box and train with many amateur MMA athletes and some of the guys in the lower classes are there for reasons - they live the healthy lifestyle and just cant grow. If you train properly and eat over 5k quality calories a day, sure someone could make the argument to eat 10k cals, but come on, thats just not realistic for the average persons budget, schedule, or digestive system. I do not think your post had bad intentions towards people in that position, but they are out there, and should be commended even more for their hard work, not criticized for having genetic/metabolism constraints. (Also in reading your post again before I click the submit button, I'm not saying people that are smaller cant get to that general weight, I'm talking about quality weight).

Thank you. That was one of the points I was trying to point out in my above post. There are many things in life that people dont 'need', but as responsible adults, they dont want the government taking away their decisions. I view that in a way that the gov't would be saying I wasnt smart enough to choose for myself, and as a tax payer, that irritates me just a little. I am a big believer in personal responsibility - grown adults should make themselves informed of their actions, and the consequences thereof, and make their decisions accordingly.

exactly, ph's today. what will they decide is 'best' for us tomorrow. after 8 years in the military defending the american way of life i would hate to see overambitious politicians take away our freedoms. i love this country, i just don't care much for the people running it right now.

Agree 100% with the portions I placed in bold! My max ceiling with diet and training topped me out at 148lbs (151lbs in the military when I didn't have to spend so much of my own money on food.) Most times I was walking around between 135 - 145 lbs. So when you have messed up genetics like me you need to get assistance to breakthrough. I jumped up to 167lbs through cycle, pct, diet, and training this summer / fall. I am sad to see the ph lines go for companies, but still hopefull they will be around with the remainder of their supplement lines. Cycle assist is a staple and still good use for it if not on a cycle!

Congrats on your progress and hopefully it will continue. Even when the ph's are gone, we will do our best to provide products to assist people in every way we can.

Again, I did not critisize anyone asking questions. I'm all for that and that was not my intention. If it came off that way, I apoligize. My statement was reflecting upon guys who depend on Ph's to gain size. You can take PH's, but the DIET AND TRAINING still have to be there to gain size. If not they will do you no good. Unfortunately, this industry has proven not to govern itself properly (as in putting out supps that are compliant with current FDA guidelines) and are now having to suffer the consequences. We wanted a quick fix, some supp companies provided that, and now it has come to an end. I'm all for freedom of choice, but it's like speeding. When you speed and endanger other lives, the cops must step in and give you a ticket. When we can no longer control our actions, something has to give.

I'm turning 49 in a few months. I have not been 200 lbs since I was 21. Training, diet and Genetics are requirements to take you so far. If someone wants to go beyond that its completely up to the individual. This thread is not the place to drop a bomb on how you feel about said " enhancments". Talk here was wishing the folks at CEL the best, as they have always been Honest with the products they provide, unlike others. If you can't make a comment in that direction, don't comment! Good luck with your new products this fall guys!

To the best of my knowledge, you may still be able to find some products here and there, but we will not be continueing to make anymore ph compounds.

We hope to have a full lineup of non-ph items out in the very near future. I think we will have some things that people will be really excited about. (And before anyone even asks, we will not be elaborating until the products are closer to release, so feel free to let us know what you want, but we wont be confirming what things will be)

Maybe something to help the body use nutrients better so we can possibly eat LESS food but still get what we need. There was a time in the mid 80`s when there was an anaolouge of aminos in pill form(Alpha Keto Analouges). I had great growth using these and cut back on protein shakes. I gre without all the calories. I would have liked to have seen a DS(before all this crap hit the fan) with a fat burner included in the blend that wouldn`t spike blood pressure. Maybe something growth oriented with a fat burner? Maybe a drink mix with an optimum muscle building blend of protein/carbs/fat/nutrients? Something that would actually replace one or two meals without losing the whole food advantage over a shake.

People who know me never suspect I have used "designer" legal stuff...everybody assumes I'm always juiced...truth is...last year and a half all Ive used are PH'S and designers......they have been great.

Grrrr..... it just had to be you that asked since I said I wasnt going to elaborate lol :p

JK

I wouldnt say basic stuff as in I dont think that the product formulations will be basic at all. But category wise, they will be for the most part, especially at first. I doubt you will ever see a protein from us though. I would like to see us do a lean gainer at some point, but not a protein.
