Admittedly with a quarter-century iron-free intermission…

I’m sure there’s a Lee Haney leg-blasting or chest-exploding workout routine in there that left me either crippled or unable to wipe my ass for a week. Starchy dorm food doesn’t cut it for recovery…

My roommate had this actual issue.

My first protein supplement. The powder was too bad to mix with anything, but I did like chewing the tablets.

What was it, like $130 in 1995 money? The workout it came with was nuts as I recall.

Found an old ad for it. Back then, they didn’t have to include the ingredients!

I’ve posted this elsewhere, but it gives a clue.

I had even less of a chest back then. :grinning:

Look at young Mike O Hearn on the cover of “natural” body building. Awesome

He looked like he actually could’ve been natural back then.

Agree. Claiming that physique is natty at like 30 Y/O is a lot different than claiming his current physique is natty at like mid 50s.

Greg Zulak. I loved his columns in Musclemag International and Ironman.
