I was talking to a buddy earlier today and we were talking about our first supplements that we had tried.
When I was about 13 and started lifting seriously I got my dad to get me a kit called cybergenics and it was heavily advertised in all the mags..so forth.
It came in a box similar to a shoe box and came with about 6 different bottles of I cannot remember and some protein powder.They had it all maped out as far as what time to take the different pills and when to train etc...
To put a time on it it even came with it's own VHS tape...LOL
Than I tried something different for a couple years and that was just the old protein powder called Hot Stuff.
I can recall the Hot Stuff was supposed to be the shit back than and from what I recall it even tasted not that bad for back than.
So let's hear about the rest of you guys what did u first try and if any of you can remember what the hell was in that cybergenics kit or used it please post up and take a ride down memory lane in the supplement world.
If I remember right that system was actually a pretty good idea as that's similiar to what EAS did when they first came out which I of course took that bait as well as I was to young for gear and spent alot of time reading the muscle mags of back than.

My first supps were creatine and Ripped Fuel

[pux888]

Good old Cybergenyx, that was high-tech shit at the time. I used bategen I think it was called, that was EA's creatine supp, of course Ripped Fuel, Ultimate Orange, just about had an aneurism on that shit. Used Chromium, and the original acetabolan by Muscle Tech. Many others I cant remember the name of but 99% of em were garbage.

[Brianincali]

First supplement ever used was Amino Acids. I do recall using Hot Stuff later down the line - wow had to really think about this one.

Hahaha...nice one pux888 with the ultimate orange!!!
I use that one to which was my first time using ephedrine around 14 years old but it sure helped me as I would get up around 5:30 am to go running for training for boxing because it gave me so much energy.
It was like similiar to alka seltzer as it would fizzle like an effervescent..
That was supposed to be the the shit because I think that might have even been before ripped fuel.
I also switched to the EAS and than later muscle tech line like betagen etc....I was
I was only around 18 when muscletech came out and it wasn't cheap.
It's funny though because EAS and muscletech all followed suit as cybergenics as having a complete line of supps saying take this at a certain time time etc.
EAS had sold HMB way back than and that shit was like 50 bucks a bottle 16 years ago....what was I thinking...LOL

Joe Weider weight gainer. lol

Lol...me too. I think I took some really cheap protein powder before that but my first real supp was MegaMass 4000 or something like that,lol...

[mad_dawg]

Gosh, I hate to date myself here, but .........

Dessicated liver, Orchic and other glandular products. Then amino acids really hit the scene promising explosive growth...lol. Oh yeah, Gamma orazonal was another big one. The big Weider supplements. Oh yeah!

I suppose some of you younger guys might have to look that stuff up, hahahaha.

Peace,

Ohh come on Mad_Dawg you aren't that old u could have said something else that was around back than to like taradactill egg, brontosorous tail meat,or the mother of all protein back than tyronosouras Rex testicle meat.
many of good man died trying to get that sweet meat.


Haha just kidding brother and trust me I am no young chicken myself.
BTW what kind of bike is in your avy it kicks serious ass.
And if it yours please don't leave any details as far as drivetrain etc.
Peace Mad_dawg

[mad_dawg]

Dang, I forgot the taradactil egg protein powder...lol.

Unfortunately it's not my bike. Saw the pics years ago and always said if I won the lotto I would track it down and buy it. It's a hot looking bike. It was on one of those build a bike forums or something.

[FinaFlex]

Haha...thanks for having a sense of humor my good bud.
Yeah that bike would be a dream of mine to.
I ride crotch rockets now and have been since i was 16.
But I rode a buddy's custom and it was nice and wouldn't mind getting one one day.It just sucks because they are so expensive.
Plus I am a firm believer in if you love to ride it doesn't matter what your riding as long as your doing it.take care bud!

Funny, I have a bottle sitting on top of my fridge right now. Good stuff!

I forgot to mention one....... for a pre-workout drink, Ultimate Orange was the best. Better than any of the crap nowadays. Good old ephedrine hcl in that drink, and dosed per body weight. That was some kick ass stuff. You could only use it on heavy days or you would end up over training pretty quick.
