Blast from the past supplements ( Pics )

still til this day the most rancid tasting supp I ever took. However it must have been spiked cause 2-3 weeks in I was absolutely shredded!

When I saw that picture, I could taste it. The taste of what you would imagine battery acid mixed with throw up tasted like haha.

Do you remember the ephedra version in the red/yellow/blue? That was the one with the taste above and worked crazy good.
 
VPX had some cool labels lol, use to take their meal replacement bars and the pumpkin flavor was super underrated, ate those throughout high school.

Their bars were definitely underrated.

Their original Micellar MRP was way ahead of its time. The graham cracker flavor was great. I still miss that one.
 
i think vpx is owned by bang energy drinks now, or vpx changed their name to bang

Bang Energy is owned by Monster now.
 
Damn, a graham cracker protein sounds awesome
APS has the honey granola flavor which is pretty good and tastes more like graham cracker to me. Definitely worth a try if you haven't tried it. Axe and Sledge peanut butter and honey is still my fav though. We carry both at Strong as well.

 
Did any one of you guys happen to try Meltdown v2 by VPX back in the day? - it came out a year or so before Clenbutrx around 2008. That was the first sup that really got me really shredded in just a a few weeks!
It was definitely a high stim product but it seemed to contain 3 different versions of Yohimbine ( Alpha Yo, Y-HCL and 11- Hydroxy Y) and also they had some obsession and with Methyl-ing everything ie. Methy-synephrine, Methyl-TTA , methyl- PEA, and I’m not sure why? - still, I suspect it was spiked with something !!
 
Did anyone take black beauties? I remember in the early-mid 90s guys were taking these in the gym and I bought quite a few bottles. Unsure, but I think it was basically meth. You'd stay in the gym for 3 hours sweating balls and never wanting to stop lifting, then proceed to grind teeth for the next 8 hours wanting to hump everything. LOL, at least that's how I remember them.

yes they were amphetamines/dextroamphetamine. more than likely by the time the mid 90's rolled around there was other designer stimulants in some batches from many sources

Yall had all the fun good **** back then!
 
Pretty sure the OG Clenbutrx was before meltdown as tried them both. They did reformulate and it was more of a cinnamon taste where as the original was just rancid. Ohh, and don’t get me started on Black Pearl! I got a bunch of non lifting guys hooked on that.

Vpx at one point made bang must have sold once it got big

I remember when they first came out and they had vpx on the can I thought “ wow the company that once made a “sterile 1-testosterone oil oral solution” is now making energy drinks
 
1-AD
 
Anyone remember that Omega nootropic type supplement that was all the rage? I remember the first batch either forgot to flavor it or wasn't flavored and the shipments came with a flavor pack taped to the top of the tub.

Wasn't it called Ultima or something like that? I remember buying that well trying to take a break from stims.

Omega Sports was a great brand. All of their products were solid. I remember Ultima, FlashOver, Strive, Burn24. Cre-Ethyl Thunder was the first supplement I ever purchased. I remember the caps used to stick together but that's what got me started.

2015 .. ahh best deals on net
 
if it was still avail I would be looking for methyl tst and trn. those were fire back in the day. I remember Omega and alot of other brands that have left. And some legit phera
 
Anybody else remember AEN? They had a pre called pre-surge? that was legit. I know alot of the pre's back then had ractems in the mix and if I had too much, I would just get lethargic.

oh yeah they were quite popular .. esp their intrabolic supplement along with caps of intraXcell .. slick bottles

at one point I think it was called pre-surge unleashed, in like a red and blue bottle, was surprised how well it worked. I think it had DMAA in it? Can’t remember exactly
 
This stuff tastes awful but was an amazing pre workout
I hated it, it made me puke almost every time I used it. But, because the old advertising used to say that the anadraolic state supplement was the equivalent to a gram of test lol, 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

So I took it everyday, and puked 7 out of 10 times lol
 
first prohormone i tried in 2014 was called halo 350 ( halodrol)- dont remember the brand - but i picked it up at my local supplement store back in chicago.
i remember being so hungry during that bulk, i went to either tacobell and got the quessarito combo or to white castle every night after the gym, got to know the cashiers on a first-name basis
the muscles were so full!!
- i yearn for that first cycle

Yeah, I didn't remember that ad campaign but I did think it worked well. The original flavor definitely turned stomachs

It wasn't the flavor, although it tasted terrible too, it use to make me puke mid workout, probably too many stims. I'm gonna look for the add lol. It was ridiculous
 
Around the same time, iso mass Xtreme gainer was a really solid looking gainer for that time, honestly, it's still not a terrible gainer

I remember taking Anadraulic State GT & doing preacher curls so hard in this old hot gym one summer that my abs cramped up from being dehydrated. That stuff tasted awful, but it did get you going & placebo is a helluva drug.

I didn’t even know Anadrol was a thing at that point; the name made no sense to me 😂

VPX originally owned Bang and grew into a mass market energy drink. Unfortunately, they then got into a legal battle with Monster Energy, who ultimately wound up acquiring Bang after some of the lawsuits didn't go Bang's way.

Jack Owac, who owned Bang/VPS, started another brand of energy drinks awhile back, but I hadn't tried them.

Yes, until recently I still had a completely bricked up, unopened tub of this stuff sitting in my cabinet. Finally threw it out. It had made it through at least one or two house moves...

No lie, I still have a tub and a half of LG Sciences Postal. That stuff also tasted terrible - like chalk/dirt. Might just have to try it for science.

LG science made some legit stuff back in the day. Not sure about their sarms these days
 
Trying to remember which company produced epistane first, mainly because it plunged my HDL so low that my doctor thought it was a lab error.
 
Havoc was RPN. i think the first epi was IBE if i remember? Black and green bottle, first batch was rumored to be a little trenish

My first cycle was Epistane; I gained 6-7lbs in 4 weeks while leaning out. Put 30-40lbs on all my lifts using 20-40mg/day.
 
This wasn't their best product but I couldn't find a photo epilogue. Olympus used to make some good stuff

I dont know if it was mentioned but maybe 8 months or so before the PH ban of 2004 they came out with MOHN (17a methyl 4 hydroxy nandrolone). Never tried it myself. Think it was dosed in 4mg caps or tabs
 
We use to carry a lot of the popular PHs at Strong Supplement Shop before the ban!
