Lou Ferrigno 1973 Diet/Training protocol

[Aikman56]

the worst was the weider weight gainers sold in small tin.

I remember those… That was the first kind of protein shake I ever tried… It clumped up then got really powdery, and would not dissolve, no matter what you mixed it with!

I remember my Weider shakes from the late 80s even.
Sand with sawdust for flavor.

Early protein shakes were disgusting.

My first one was Metabolol. Could blend that shit for 5 mins and still had this weird ass sludge at the bottom of the glass

Ah hell yea. Metabolol 2 and Hot Stuff. That was the ultimate muscle building stack.

He was able to maintain 280 pounds of lean mass on THAT diet? His dinner must have been massive.

Maybe not... They didn't eat like pigs back then, like they do today. No distention, etc.
The food is way 'over done' these days, and many of the physiques show it.

They didnt have to rely on things like Clen, T3 and things like that. They ate less...
Again, today is a joke as to what it has become...

Metabolol was delicious compared to weider super protein

Damn @hawkmoon I could not imagine how terrible it would be then.

Makes me wonder what sort of shit we were ingesting. Obviously testing these products was likely never happening.

Did any of you guys eat protein bars from late 90s. They were like steel. I'm amazed I still have all my teeth. I would bring one to work for my $5/hour job at a batting range and try not to eat the free hotdogs and candy bars. I was disciplined and ate my hard as concrete protein bar. Looking back any muscle or benefit they offered were totally not worth the jaw workout.

I think the first good tasting protein I ever experienced was Joe Weider’s Mega Mass 2000, circa 1992. It tasted like ass (that’s actually not true, my wife’s ass tastes like strawberries and sweet cream) compared to what we have today, but back then, that thing was gooooooood! For all the sugar it had, it should have tasted good!

I’ve always read that the Golden Era guys actually drank Rheo Blair’s protein powder. I’ve never personally tried it but they say it tasted really good. They would mix it with whole cream and milk together.

Disciplined?

That was when we got protein and vitamins from handfuls of dessicated liver tabs.

[tenny]

the Parrillo's were the worst....the animals not too bad.

they just compact them so hard, a human stomach can digest them.

Do you remember MLO?

 

[alfresco]

About a year ago I was digging through old posts. As in from the first month of the board.

ExcelBeyond “the elder mod” ect.

It’s all there.

Thanks for that, I think I figured out.

Vince Gironda was a big proponent of desiccated liver tabs. So I started eating them by the handful and I got the worst farts you could imagine, they would knock a buzzard off a shit wagon.

i do remember MLO, they made an egg white powder that was excellent...like custard.
i think they still make shit....
