I know we've all been duped at one time or another by a so-called miracle bodybuilding supplement. I fell for Cybergenics and ipriflavone. What have you fallen for?

Cutting gel, I know what WC Fields said and it is true. Also, testrogel. I seem to have more money than sense but I am quickly becoming cynical.

4. HMB
5. Myostatin Binders- "Myostim"* (*verdict not in yet....continuing use

Ive never had much money to blow on 'new' supplements. I always waited for feedback before I bought anything, but to be honest, I bought several bottles of good ol' andro in 98 after the McGwire deal and my strength went through the roof and I gained some weight but I got a small case of gyno and had some swelling in my prostate, which was painful as hell. The prostate has subsided, but if you look close enough, the gyno is still there.... I wouldnt call it a total waste, because back then, it was popular as hell and it was the only thing I really knew. I had messed around with Sust and anadrol, but only enough to bloat me.

Admit it, you tried to make it transdermal, eh?
I was violated by Cybergenics, anything that had Weider's vile name scribbled across, and GNC's Pro Performance line, worst tasting whey I ever wasted money on..

Dibencozide sublingual...LOL what a joke (i know you some of you aged ones took it, admit it!) Cybergenics, I managed to hit my all time lowest weight on that (those multi sets of negatives beyond failure worked me over pretty good - 168lbs @ 6'1 (presently 218lbs).I also recall my tan changing to an orange tint after i started using the supps).....WOW, good times.

Nitro-Tech/Cell-Tech stack. Let's see, I was 15, I got a part time job, saved my money, bought the crap, and used it for 6 months while lifting in School. I gained squat with it.

Cybergenics.....overtrained like a mofo and hurt my back to boot! Winter of 89! Cost me going to the state meet in wrestling my junior year!
We live and learn.
Somebody mentioned Weider's Muscle Builder....I cut my teeth on that and a DP bench with concrete weights! HA! I haven't thought about that in a while.

cell tech, nitro tech, ZMA(not bad product just too much $$),a few bottles of GNC brand mega men timed release multi's, and gnc's gainer which had like 50+crabs and only 15g protien...
and i was just today thinking about buying myo-blast by cytodyne.. those before and after pics are just far to impressive for me to let this great oppertunity pass me by.

I remember that, prior to my 2nd left knee operation, a doctor asked me that same question in order to determine whether or not any medication would be altered because of the supplements that I was using at the time or have used in the past. By the time we were done discussing that issue, I had filled an entire legal sized paper. That's been a while so I doubt if I'll remember ALL of the crap that I've fallen for since 1985:
super sterol complex
dessecrated liver tabs
inosine
dibencozide sublingual (thanks Boarder1, I thought I was the only one.....LOL)
boron
Metalabol mix (what a crock)
Genesis Nutrition's Animal Pak (gave me the shits)
hmb
Cybergenics Cybercuts
Twinlab's MCT Fuel (nasty orange oil...
)Met-Rx
The only Weider product that ever worked for me were probably the Body Shaper protein mix and chromium picolinate but I also maintained a proper diet and workout regiment while using them.

I dunno, DC shovels in the Optimum pro complex which already has glutamine in it. He doesn't take glut separately...
But, who am I to speak? I never used it enough to form an opinion either way.
I've tried Cell Tech, by the way, though it was just half a jug given to me by a friend.
I've also gone through several bottles of tribulus, thinking that maybe it was just the brand I was taking...

man, all these sure bring back some forgettable trials! I tried most of these too...i plead temporary insanity about trying cell tech.

Anybody remember the Vanadyl Sulfate craze of the mid-90s? There were stupid rumors about how great it was for some reson. Everybody I knew buying the stuff up. I think I blew $20-30 for a bottle, which did nothing. I was in school at the time, so that was almost all the dough I had.
I can remember being in High School and asking for Cybergenics for Christmas. It was over $100 for all the crap, and I would've done anything to get it. I never got it, too bad because I'd be 295 & ripped by now if I had.

Lots of Pinnacle ****...ecdybol, methoxy poppers, andro poppers, juiced protein. The JP gave me the worst shits ever! Lets see...um, Betagen. I'm surprised I didn't have a fuckig heart attack from GNC's 100% Whey. all the cholesterol...Methoxypro. I'm glad I still sell this **** so I can point people in the right direction. phew!

Does this count?
Im not sure if this counts but about 6 years ago I was reading a Mens Health or Fitness or something of that nature and it said that jerking one off in the morning is a good testosterone booster for males. So I thought to myself, hey, cool now Ive got a reason to squeeze one off every chance I get and Besides the physical pleasure Im also promoting muscle growth. Well, All I can say is that had to be a load of crap because besides a few blisters, some forearm cramps, a weird addiction and a huge shower bill, It did absolutely nothing for me. But hey, Ive got to admit, it definitly was the most satisfing scam Ive ever been taking by.
I told my wife and a bunch of her friends at work about that and they havent let it down yet. She just wont admit how much she likes to watch. Shes a freak, so am I, Were perfect for each other.
Shamelessly yours,
