Why do so many people bash on Joe Weider? Why do people call him a crook?
joe weider came up with some really crap supplements in the mid - late 80's that were really useless but promoted them in his publications like muscle & fitness as being the greatest supps out and that all the pro's used them to achieve greatness
there were products like frac, inosine and his anabolic mega packs that were just sh*t but lots of newbs including myself bought into the hype and just got ripped off badly, eventually people stopped using weider supps as you can see they not commonly found anymore but back in the day they were everywhere!!
he set the template for companies like muscletech that are still doing the same to this very day
he also had images of him drawn that showed he had a decent physique but in reality he looked like crap!
his publications were just glossly brochures for his crap range of supps
