Why the supplement biz is a billion $$ business..

Pic says it all (from a recent thread on babybuilding.com) to post their supplement stacks!
So glad they outlawed PH's in 2005 and gonna go after some more these kids will take anything but REAL food to try and grow.

Holy crap thats a stockpile!!! When I was younger I thought there were miracle supplements too, so I would be a hippocrite to criticize. But I never went to extremes like in these pictures!!!

 

[Jarconis]

haha I'd like to see a pic of these supplements stashes and then their owners in the same pic, lets see if this investment is really paying off

That's pathetic, and they should be taking pictures of 100 pounds of chicken breast instead of 500 pounds of bullshit.

Also, I'd like to see some of the pictures of the people who take these "stacks" with the supplements. My money says they have about 5 years of real training and eating before they should even touch a vitamin pill.

 

[jdchaffin]

those are great. I remember feeling like I needed all that stuff to grow.

Though I'll give the last one some credit. seemes like he found a few things he likes and got them in bulk. not always a bad idea if you know it works for you.

 

[nosnmiveins]

most of them like buying "before ban" and then sell 3x the cost. wise investment....but still, get a fvcking life and LIFT AND EAT...not sit online buying supps all day

These people obviously have a ton of extra money. I guess the current state of the economy is not putting a dent in their spending habbits. I can tell you this much though.......I am in this industry and so far I have not noticed a huge decline in revenue. The company I work for did switch much of the focus over to selling more health products though. Back to the topic of this thread though...."You can lead a horse to water, but he is still going to buy the NO-Xplode."

Damn, you could get soooo much gear with that $$ lol j/k.

but seriously, i was the same way at first. When I was 19 and first started getting into it I would buy everything the big guy behind the counter said I needed, which cost me like $800 per month. Then when I started eating and training hard, thats when I really started growing, and stopped all that shit, except a few like vitamins,whey,glutamine,creatine,etc...

 

[KillerStack]

MG, isn't your own supplement stash pretty sizable too? From reading your posts I get the impression you take tons of supplements of different kinds.

 

[Massive G]

hmmmmmm.
Not really that extensive.
Here's a pic of the bottles I gob in each day:
In no particular order
Carlson's oils/gel caps below
Codliver oil
Vitamin A
Vitamin D
Vitamin E (mixed toco's)
Calcium
Magnesium
Bromelain
Zinc
Acidophilis
B-complex
Ester C
Green Source Iron Free

I can post my powders as well if you guys like.

 

[hiddenbelow]

I think MG just had a ruff week and is pissed off..........

But about the supplement industry it is just like anything else man. Put a pretty face beside it and say this is how the face got there and bam we have buyers. It is the same how most of you guys are (like what is this pro taking what is that pro taking "gear wise") the majority of you would make your gear choices based upon what those pro's say.

I have maybe 5 different bottles of supplements here ... but in my fridge I have 100 eggs, 4 kilos of egg whites and 12 lbs of chicken

can post a pic if you want lol

there is no magical supp or steroid MG is right it has no sense to have all those stuff, I bet the guy who owns those stuff is not able to eat properly .. if he did he would not spend so much money in all those supps

 

[Massive G]

I don't like commercial supps guys.
Haven't used any since the early 2000's I used protein customizer when it came out-seemed pretty novel to make my own blends.
The DC came along with True Protein and I get all my powders there in bulk. They are pure and high quality.
Synthetek has a very very high quality whey protein powder as well-pure and uncut.

These days my supplementation is pretty much centered around pre and powo which is
waxy maize pepto pro Instantized BCAA's leucine glycerol sea salt L-glutamine Crystal light and CEE-if I were to supplement protein it would be a egg white/whey ion x and micellar casein mix for MRP use (supplemental protein between meals and or with a meal.) Egg/Casein/LG at night and Whey ion-x/LG in the AM

MG got me intrigued with this thread over at bb.com so I decided to take a look... the second page I clicked on made me laugh pretty hard

Guy's comment:

"keeping it simple

a box a week till i hit 300"

Was he really serious?

 

[Massive G]

Oh here is my supp stash BTW.

 

[Phidias]

But the funniest is here... he goes on right after in another post saying:

"forgot some
my bad"

 

[inoverdrive]

I am just wondering if they stole it from somewhere. I can not imagine buying that much garbage. Hell my wife freaks when i get a case of LBA's. Now if i had that much LBA and whey protein id be happy!

 

[OuchThatHurts]

That's just scary..

When I was a kid, I remember taking some kind of weight gainer 3500 or something that I could barely choke down. I think it was five scoops! And then I remember my older brother gave me a bottle of EAS Phosphagen for a birthday with a wink and I thought I was taking "steroids" LOL

I remember the gym I worked at as basically a janitor when I was 15 the had smilax behind the glass and I thought it was steroids too.

thats great. look at the ingredients of that sostonol stuff:
4-Androstene-4-chloro-17a-methyl-3b,17b-diol,
2a, 17a-dimethyl-17a-hydroxy-5a-androstan-3-one,
17a-methyl-17b-hydroxy-5a-androst-2-ene

3 methyls!!! if he's taking a box a month he's gonna need about 60cc of synthergine a day.
