anyone remember like 10 years ago when boron was promoted as a huge muscle builder that produced dramatic gains?I remember going to GNC and buying boron and just waiting to get huge. What about vanadyl and chromium? It seems the supplement market has learned to stop promoting crap that doesnt work. People have gotten smarter and realize these things dont work .The big thing now seems to be creatine,protein,Omega 3's,and glutamine.I've tried andro,dhea,and hmb. I cant honestly say i noticed anything. The only dramatic effect I noticed was hydroxycut when it had epedrine in it. I had more energy than I knew what to do with. Thats been banned along with andro.Creatine has been proven to work by actual science. Anyone remeber Hot Stuff? I remember when I was taking that a long time ago that i was actually taking steroids.They tried to promote it like it was illegal and the gains were unreal. Being a kid you'll believe anything to get big. I think back to all the money I spent on crap supplements that didnt work,, ohh well.

When I was younger I spent a fortune on supplements also. Most of them just gave me a severe stomach ache. What a waste of money!

"It feels like Deca" - Bill Phillips. Enough said.
The only thing I felt with HMB was my wallet getting lighter.

I used to spend like 150 to 200 a month on supplements. At least $70 just for andro. Tim used to tell me it was all junk,but i didnt listen. Maybe it was the placebo effect I was paying for.

Scott,this is a post of mine from a huge thread on glutamine...if you get the time,go through the nutrition section..............some pretty good stuff in there.
I agree with Layne on this one!!
Remember how every month in the mags they would tout a new supplelement as the next big thing that would catapult your gains through the roof?
Whatever happened to the folllowing "magic bullets":
OKG
Boron
Vanadyl Sulfate
Chromium Picolinate
Ribose
ALA
Colostrum
DHEA
Liquid Creatine
And many more, that were hyped up bigtime,I might be opening a whole new can of worms with this post, as I`m sure some people here will support some of the above mentioned supps, but my point is that some are/were a lot of hype, and it`s up to the individuals personal testing on himself, to decide just which ones may be effective.......... or just a money making scam for the mags, and the manufacturers that make them !!

I hate when muscle mags print a legit looking article that you think the magazine wrote,and when you get to the end its just an ad for a supplement. |

I haste that too......I don`t buy them anymore unless there is something special in it that interests me.
I buy a lot of old mags on E-Bay.......much better than the rags out today........less ads,useful training and diet info,and coverage of up and coming amatuers....just way better all around.
