i have wasted just about as much as anyone on junk supps:
Weider Chewable Aminos, 1987-1990
FRAC, 1991
boron, 1991
mega mass (mega GAS), 1991-1993
that sublingual SHIT suspended in alcohol and propylene glycol, supposedly made your endogenous GH levels raise, 1992
metabolol II, 1993-1994
HOWEVER......
that was an exciting time for me, growing up in the world of bodybuilding. i learned so much in that time period, i wouldn't do anything different....well, maybe the way i trained. I believe that all newbies should be given a few years to struggle at natural bodybuilding to see what kind of base they can acheive. I know much more about my own body and limitations due to my natural years.
PS....thank god i knew better when EAS products came to town! whoever said that about bill phillips needing his ass kicked was right.
