+ 4 HELP A BROTHA OUT !
Ok so I spent many yrs trying to figure out the secrets of building and while I had found the compounds fairly early on still didn't know the diet work et. Spent hours in the gym thinking "I'm sure Arnold trains 8 hrs a day"! Ate everything I could get my hands on and yes, got bigger, just bloated big though and not knowing diet would lose muscle in the process of cuts.
So I'm at the gym and overhear this conversation by a dude obviously on the juice and understands his diet, the whole 9. He's advising this poor would be 25 ish yr old and its all the same shit, protein shakes, creatine, eat a lot of meat etc etc. So is it that it was so hard for us to learn the real thing that we feel it should be hard on everyone? I don't know its all I ca n figure I guess, we got beat we beat our kids kinda thing! Lol i pull this guy aside and say brother, log in to eroids.com and start reading the diet info, read the whole damn site and get i n there and get the real scoop, that GNC shits gonna get a grip on you for yrs. He tries to start questioning me and again, just log on brother, I promise you, everything you need is right there.
Stop the cycle of shit we had to endure brothers, help a Nooka out and if you don't have time send him here, the spend 5 yrs figuring this out thing is not something we should pass on just because it kicked our asses back in the day. Come on now! Lol

I gotta reply to this again...it's going to focus on the GNC comments, as for me I could care less either way how folks feel about GNC. Yeah, there are ALOT of shit supplements on the market...and there always will be, especially since gear is illegal in this country; not EVERY supp is trash though. Supplements are a big business and just another part of the making money game. That's what GNC is, a business, and a RETAIL business at that...so, guess what, they are obviously trying to 'SELL' and make money. Do they really care whether a product works or not for you...honestly, I would hazard a guess saying, probably not in the long run! The employees in the retail locations are SALESMAN, it is their job and they will try AND they will succeed in selling products to anyone they think they can sell too. It's the nature of the business, and the world at large for that matter. Now, the deal here is that I don't care what anyone has to tell me, BUT certain products do reap their benefits. One is a multivitamin. Who out there can honestly say that they get ALL their vitamins and minerals and other essential 'building block' nutrients thru their diet?...and if you say you do, well then I would say you are delusional. It's just simply not possible. Second, we all know how important protein is to our endeavors in life, at the gym, etc. So, since when did the added value of buying and taking in some whey or casein become the wrong thing to do for the fitness minded? The proof is out there, research has proven the benefits of protein powders. Third, there are some other supps that are of some benefit to the athletic type, such as fish oil and BCAAS. Lastly, all the other shit in there is for the birds and can just be left behind. The vultures know who they can push to, and who not too...if they see a 'jacked-up diesel silverback mofo' strut in their store, most of the time, the smart employees know to not even bother fuckin with ya...if they do, tell 'em you aren't intersted in being sold shit you don't need and fuck off....HAHAHAHA!!! A look of shock will spin across the face....that's my take on the whole matter because like it or not, I will go buy vitamins, protein, fish oil, BCAAS, and my joint supplements...because even before I started running gear, I felt the benefits from those 'ingredients' for my cocktail of life nourishment and I consistently will from here on out. Yeah, the GNC game is pretty gay with some, and I wholeheartedly agree about the comments relating to what the clueless douchebags talk about when it comes to some supps(esp. test boosters), in the gym or wherever...they can't help it though, it's called lack of an education and poor research effort. It's a big problem, not for anyone of us to fix though...and frankly, I think it's somewhat amusing. Whatever keeps the simple minds happy...that's just good business, right?
I hope i dont blow the main fuse that allows the site to run if i give you a point for your post!
This will give you 1000 karma points!
Oh well here we go lets see what happens!
Nothing blew up Phew!
Happy 1000 Tread you deserve it,now lets have 3 cheers for the Guru folks.
dbolzWas about to do it myself good call Suzy,
Happy 1000 Tread, if anyone deserve 1000 is you brother,
Here is to 10000more :))
Woo Hoo!
dudes at my gym where GNC shirts, talk all about the GNC products, they where talking about test boosters yesterday, for real dude asked if the new line or whatever this guys taking has anti estro blockers in it! WTF test boosters with antiestroblockers? ROTFLMAO For real man they are so flipping brain washed on that shit I dont even bother telling them shit, but I can assure you they sure look at me funny when I tell them I dont take no supps! Just a buttload of meat and weights!
tread-mMy T-shirt says "GNC can suck my Dballs"
dbolzNext time just say you are a vegan mate
Their jaw will drop to the floor! Lmao at your gym dudes
sgtstedankoNice work, brother! Hope he announces himself. & remembers. Might make the people on here, seem more real (so to speak).
tread-mYeah I do too, he knows who I am is the only downer given this post but its all good, just keep your mouth shut Nooklet when you stumble on this cuz T can find you! I'd hate there to be "a terrible spot accident" on the local news! Oops. I'm looking forward to see what the eroids shirts do for the recognition. Just gonna tell everyone I'm the site diet man come find me I go by Sgt....Nooka said whaaaaaat?
sgtstedankoYou go around posing as me. 1st you better be on your best behavior, 2nd share your wealth of knowledge, & 3rd better get that penis girth implant like the wife's been begging for! I'm talking the old belushi snl skit (where he goes into the bathroom, stuffs, comes out looking like weapon of mass destruction)
I'll find it
tread-mBrother, I don't have any best behavior. My wife says I need anger managment classes but I'm no quitter! No just kidding, I don't have anger issues except 4 days a month when I'm asked to leave the home for my own safety! I hate motel 6 ! I really don't have best behavior though, the whole family tells me I'm too loud and rowdy in public , its my only flaw but its a big one.
sgtstedankoOK, I can totally see that : ) Damnit, I just spent the last 45 min searching for the skit I was telling you about. Couldn't find it : ( Did however, find this info on it. I'm sorry that I let us down, brother...
I'm gonna have to buy the whole season : (
Amazon.com
The Bulge is the name of the skit and it has been banned for the most part. I have been unable to find it. It was on Youtube but was removed. It was season ten episode 1 aired on 10/6/84. I saw it when I was ten and still remember it.
Saturday Night Live: Thompson Twins (#10.1)" (1984)
Features part of the monologue, Ed Grimley, Synchronized swimming and The Bulge
Bob Tischler: I don't remember ever, ever having any network interference at all. You know, except for things that we couldn't do because of censorship.
[ cut to Jim Belushi in barroom men's room, watching as Gary Kroeger stuffs toilet paper in his pants in "The Bulge", 10/06/84 ]
[ Jim Belushi follows suit, and endlessly stuffs toilet paper in his own pants ]
[ cut to Jim Belushi ]
Jim Belushi: We had a film piece. Sasaying, "you can't do that! That's a penis!" Ebersol went and fought for that piece. And this is the way he negotiated -- "Okay, as long as it's not smooth."
[ cut back to "The Bulge", as Jim Belushi emerges from the men's room with 6-foot padding in his pants ]
Jim Belushi V/O: So we had this 6-foot thing with all these bumps on it. It looked grosser than it would smooth. Ebersol had a way with the network.
I hope this answers your post
tread-mLmaoooooooo...brother I saw everything SNL ever did 70's through 80's, much since. It has a few moments now but nothing like in the day! Miss little Rossane Rossanna Danna and Belushi of course the best there ever was. My next favorite had to be the obvious given the love for Belushi...Farley, who was modeled after him start to literally finish. Still watch a lot but nothing like then, always looked forward to it but through the period you're talking I had to see reruns and even watch them now on rerun. Reason being, I was 19 in the year you mention and the drinking age in my state 18 so its was bar night (again) and since my friends nicknamed me PGMF at night in addition to my Treadman day name, I had shit to do! Lol
sgtstedankoLol... No! : )
I will tell my mail man about roids if they will talk to me about it. I talk like I am not on them just know a little about them. Hell I even asked my local cop what he would do if he found out I was using steroids. He said nothing. lol
Shit I asked my local 5-0 what they thought of steroids. I was told to share!
tread-mHell I usually pin at the police station, stay away from the donut shop though! Thats where all the real crime is apparently!
My bro asked his detective buddy basically the same answer. He said they really don't enforce that they just pick guys up that their told to pick up.
now if I can only figure out his supplier :))
I found this site a couple of months ago searching for sources. I thought it was a scam at first so I lurked around for months just checking out sources seeing who got what where and how fast. I've been away from the scene for a while including the gym itself but I love hoarding gear back in the day. Even though I'm not ready to get back on I figure it's always best to be prepared. So i took the plunge made some orders and wouldn't you know they all showed up. I always waited for the questions I wanted to ask to just pop up which they did. After lurking I said F it time to start asking your own questions. And what I got was great advice. I could ask ?'s on any level no matter what and everyone is eager to help. I especially like how the vets that have been aroud the block step up and tell it how it is from experience. Sorry for the book but I thank-you for sharing and making it comfortable it feels like home.
Like you I lurked many sites gathering info and reading between the lines to find the truth. Never joined a single site other than this one. To me it just seems like a lot of smart intelligent people on here and less bullshit. All the other sites seem to have a majority of people with bigger egos than brains.
tread-mI know its weird as hell but its a family type environment once you really get locked in. Have so many people here I can turn to for help and have really made some good friends here. A few I will likley stay in touch with for a long time. Some kinda hit you wrong at first but behind everyone you think you can't get along with are some things in common and pretty soon those common things make you forget about what it is you don't have in common. The more interaction you have the tougher it gets, if I'm away all day hell I want to talk to my friends here and on occassion I will come on for that purpose alone. Especially Goth, Fer pulled me in his web and now I have to worry about him knowing he's one step away from just gling off at the mall and killing everyone in toys R us screaming "I NEVER HAD TOYS!!!". BELIEVE ME, i've had to talk him down many times on that exact point alone! He hates the ones that show up at 3 in the morning when the new games come out and he drags ass out of bed at noon and wonders why he can't have on...wtf right? Hell After last years "incident" when skyrim cam.e out and he beat the living shit out of a 12 yr old over a game I can't stop worrying! His excuse was "but Tread, this Nooka was wearin his colors man, staight up gangsta just agging me on with my leather jacket and patch." Ok first up there is no "Hells Nooklets" so your jacket is silly and second this kid had on a Barney shirt bitch, how the F is that "gang colors"? So the kid had his cap on sideways, shits in style bud!!! Anyway, yes, great community with very few assholes when it gets right down to it and I can't get enough of it and encourage anyone in our world to come see the knowledge and great group of people here.
Hey bro!!! Family type environment is where it's at!! Man, I was thinking the other day that if my REAL family keeps remarking how husky I've gotten and subsequently begin to ask me the dreaded questions..."R U on steroids?" and such, that then I would just show them where the support is and hell, see if maybe they wanna join up too!!!....LOL....Well, U guys were always wondering what the hell I was doing always draggin around my laptop and phone and shit...so here is what I've been doing all along and don't give me no shit because if it wasn't for this crowd, I'd be a sad sorry sack of bitchtits!!!...HAHAHA!!! No I really think they are afraid to ask cause they don't wanna know the truth. They are just happy that I finally got myself back on track and staying away from Ole' Johnny Law. What I enjoy the most about being on here is the appreciation of each other and everybody, when in truth most of us probably don't even know each other in the physical realm. I was real reluctant at first to even join and then to even start commenting alot because I was wary that I was going to get bashed for being a new guy....funny though, it never happened. It was quite the opposite as I was welcomed in like I've been here for years and we are all just old neighborhood chums connecting again, decades later over the wire!! I was just commenting about this somewhere else, in a different sense. I wouldn't trade this for anything....the thing is, can't take it for granted though either. The information age has made it so easy on us in some ways while also dragging us down in another....but that's a different subject.
All the wasted money at gnc....that i lost. A good whey....chicken...meat beef me up fast and cost 1/3 as much. Paid trainers at my gym still promote that oddball betaexcedysterone(moth moltin) crap. So yes....when asked i help.
I give everything i have freely brother you know that well,i do it to firsly to keep people safe secondly for people to achieve personal goals,info i input must be working because my guys are sending tons of PMs and they all seem to be growing or cutting well,it makes me feel pretty good when a couple hundred brothers are hitting personal targets.
tread-mI know you do brother, all the trouble I had may be why I am so passionate about helping and may be your deal . I don't have a jealous bone in my body either, I want these guys to have some reward for their hard work!
Im 5-4 195lb midget. I expect my trainees to fly past me in size and strength. Or I've failed as a trainer.
So underground back then it was untrue asking for aas info was like trying to steal somebodys wife!
tread-mIT WS WORSE THAN THAT, I was stealing wives at a 10/1 ratio compared to finding AAS! Lol
Asking back in late 80's was no different than buying a beer. The best part was everything was genuine pharmacy human grade. I was still too young(18) and growing fast to buy/try em. But it was easy and inexpensive real deal gear.
In uk it was near impossible to get hold of unless you were well in with the gym owner lol.
Which to me seems odd since laws seem more lax there. Always politics in everything. Lol
biggerthanyouI tell my dumbass friends to get on here all the time but theyre too fucking lazy to do the necessary research, pisses me off to no extent. Then they have the nerve to ask me advice on a cycle. Ppl these days bro i swear
tread-mWell and if they just won't take advice them Fugg'em! Lol...Nooka tried!
