CG you're talking about Muscle Tech, when you were in your teens, MLO was the big product. I remember a couple of my older cousins using it.
When I started (80's), Weider, Twin Labs and Ultimate Nutrition were the big companies. Ultimate Orange became the go to pre-workout drink. Razor Ripped was good too...all ephedrine based. For straight caffeine Turbo Tea was good...a lot of caffeine and a lot of sugar! (This was the 90's). When I started working out, Lee Haney had just become Mr. Olympia. I got to train at a very old school, hardcore gym...it was awesome! Three racks of dumbbells...5 to 50, 5 to 50 and 5 to 210lbs. Off the top of my head I can remember 5 members who were benching 500lbs back then...pretty good considering the bench press record was just over 700lbs. Good times, good memories!!
The original Ultimate Orange got banned - think it had clen in it - the original was the bomb. The copy cat was crap.
Could go to GNC and get GHB and clenbuteral.
That didn't lady long at all.
The gym I went to - the girls and kids all shrugged over 405 for reps.
I have a pic some were of Arnold- he came to my ymca to do a lecture- think it was 30 years ago. Think I was 20 or so
I used too love the old gyms 40 years ago - they were the bomb.
We used to pile into one of the older guys police car and drive to the pharmacy to get our juice.
Then later on we had the doctors prescribe any thing wee wanted. one of my buddies would get cases and cases of juice from the pharmacy - it was crazy.
Later on in the 90'sw had some girls that worked at a pharmaceutical warehouse - she would steel every thing - if there were 30 bottles of anadrol - she would take every one of them.
We would get cases of anavar - the 2cc bottles of deca had I think 24 bottles in each case- I used to get them for $20 a case
Anadrol was $20 pr bottle
Anavar - she had like 30 bottles- My buddy said - watch this - he looked art ther bottles and said - why would you get this - I don't want it - being it back.
She almost shit and gave it all to us .free.
Was going to save them all for the next show - my buddy offered $400 pr bottle - I told only if you buy all of them.
Crazy days
Crazy strong people.
Man i could go on for ever. But don't think I'm making sence any more
I started in I think 1983
