Fad drugs. Hot Topic of the Past. Forgoten Obsessions.

[Goonstopher]

Reading the board now I can't help but think of how funny all of this is. None of you will know me under this name but I've been on the board for 4-5 years. What strikes me are the fads that have come and gone over the years.

Anavar- For a while it was the be all and end all of all drugs. Everyone was doing it, everyone was bridging with it. There was nothing better. Now it is still used and a nice drug but it use to be promoted and discussed at length in every other post on the board. it was like an anavar plague

GH - Everyone was trying to get it. If you couldn't afford it you thought that anyone bigger than you had it. No one knew how to use it for real but everyone wanted it. One or two people knew how to use it and they where the experts

DNP - This one was big. Also there was Crystal DNP from dno guru which was supposed to be so much stronger. There where also the DNP "popsicles". The old article how to live comfortably on 600mg DNP was discussed and everyone was so scared of death. Now its faded and you never hear of anyone doing it.

Careo- Not so much on this board but on others. It was supposed to boost red blood cell count. Boost testosterone, boost energy. AND there was only one real place to get it in costa rica and that source was selling out at a record pace... then... BAM it was gone from the board forever.

PFG2A- Kill fat cells, simulate excorsive without lifting a weight, add 2 inches to your arms in weeks. But what would it do long term, was it safe, and how bad would it hurt. Almost eveyr site had articles on it and sources where picking it up and carrying it. Now its at best a novelty

Nettle root and Avena Stevia - The new post cycle drugs. Supposed to unbound free test and make old hardened vets grow off of low doses of test. No longer would high doses be needed and no one could do post cycle without them. BAC was baraged by bodybuilders wanting the powders. Now barely mentioned maybee once every few months.

Fina - Ok this one is a stretch, everyone still loves this, its a great tool but remember when everyone though 75mg EOD would pack on 20 pounds of muscle and shred you while eating cakes but it was only for those brave enough to risk a kidney which they very well may piss out. Still around but the hysteria has died down and reality has set in.

Bromo - This was supposed to replace leptin depleted by dieting and drive down prolactin levels. It would allow dietiers to have no appetitie but a fast metabolism all while supressing a fat holding hormone. Lyle McDonald went so fat as to write a book on this wonder drug and people bought it and discussed it. No extreem cutting cycle was complete without it. May still be a great drug but its done now

RU-486 - This is the hieght of stupidity on the boards. How can we steal and or get abortion drugs to block progesterone. But everyone wanted it. Everyone talked about it.

Injectable b12 - Increase appetite and energy. Where it gone now?

Kynosenil - A new European break though. Increase nitrogen retention though specific injected vitamins. Perfect for dieters who wanted to hold lean mass.

Bottom line is what can we count on in this game? I know from seeing it change for years that any new thing that is promoted as beeing necesary never is. Anytime something is over-hyped and over discussed it will fade. I am always hesitant now.

But wow its pretty entertaining what happens on here. I'm sure I could come up with much much more but I'll leave that open for the toehr vets...

List your own fads of the past...

the fad of dumb worthless posts.....you have carried this on

Um. Ok This is a legitimate chance for people who have been here for YEARS to reflect back and a true learning experience for newbys.

You need to learn that everything thats talked about here must be judged against the test of time and when the moderators and true vets chime in I'm sure they can add more examples that show this.

This is both a reflection on the past, a laugh at everyones past stupidity and a chance to put todays discussions into perspective of what has past.

You could learn something here so why now keep flames that are unfounded and childish to yourself

im just messing with ya......i havent been here that long but i know what you mean

 

[Goonstopher]

I understand. My name is new but I was here and registered not much after E2 and macro did. I never believed in post whorign and contribute only when I have both time and insight that I think can help. Thats all I was saying. I try not to make it personal or hijack my own thread. Everything we talk about here has to be put in persective. Becauce of "fads" like those above many newcomers will fall into "needing" something that may waste their money on or endanger their health with. I know I was once niave and burned by this. We just need to dampen our enthusiasm at time because people with tenure and who are respected can highly influence newbies into fads that hold little water or will pass over time

Interesting post... i haven;t been here long enough to know about all of that.

I guess it's just kind of like the scientific method... you start with a hypothesis and then it is tested and depending on the results of those tests its popularity will reflect that.

Avena sativa and fina are still discussed regularly around here though... and as for vit b12 its just kind of understood that its a good appetite booster- people still use it.

 

[DaddyX]

i would say fina isnt a fad tho, i think its still as popular as it always has been

 

[Goonstopher]

Yes I even admitted it was a stretch but if you had been here when people first started it you would have seen the hysteria around it. So many different wayt to take it, everyone scared to take too much, crazy claims about what it could do for/to you. It was discussed and both diefied and vilified to a level that in itself was a fad.

Ps. If anyone has noticed yet, spelling is neither my strong point nor a concern of mine. I type as fast and thorough info as possible in as little time as i can but cut corners in typing accuracy. None of this is published work.

i remember "kyno" having this big hype around it at first when i believe muscle mag had an article on it saying how great it was............doesnt seem to be discussed to muich anymore
