I was recently talking to someone about what was being pushed in the early 90’s as far as the latest and greatest (for me that was the time I started to even pay attention to supplements, etc).
I remember L-Carnitine and Chromium Picolinate were THE things that you saw everywhere (along with LOW/NO fat, HIGH carb recommendations).
Have these two things fallen out of favor? I know there are more exciting (and useful) things today, but were all the touted benefits overblown, or are they so common you just don’t hear about them (like Vitamin C).
Any other ‘faddish’ supplements that are not in favor today?
If you were really hardcore, you bought the Cybergenics kit! Thanks to Franco Santoriello… I (shamefully admit) wasted my money!! LMAO But hey… I was in high school and would have eaten sh!t !
Myostatin blockers were the hot thing for about 4 months. Then people caught on that you needed to have the myostatin mutation from birth to see massive gains.
Interesting side-note: they’ve been working on developing treatments for muscular dystrophy with myostatin inhibitors; these inhibitors were actually injected antibodies to the myostatin protein. Work in mice has shown promise, but the only human trial I know of wasn’t hugely successful. I think there is another one in the works at the moment though.
cybergenics man I remember my buddies doing the 14 page workout that came with it. Metabolol is still around It’s one of the few I think the name is different. Met something?
