I totally disagree with you.

The statement about "every supplement made comes from BCAA's", shows your ignorance. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to sound rude or impolite.

Other than that, I don't even know where to start with your post?

Vanadyl sulfate is not popular in the bodybuilding world because it's effects are minimal at best. When you describe it as "forcing amino acids into the muscle", I think your confusing vanadyl with insulin.

Anyhow, best of luck to you with bodybuilding, and your supplement adventures.

Rick

In some studies that were done either the late 70's or early 80's vanadyl was shown to have an insulin like effect in rats. Euorpean studies with humens had mixed results. Personnaly I take rALA which imo is far more effective than vandyl, and has the added benefit of liver protection.

Natron science changes everyday. So does opinions. I stand on t my claim that VS does work. Bodybuilders have taken it for years and will continue.

I would not expect you to stop because li'l old natron said so.
Do whatever you feel works best for you. Best of luck.

Its a sad day when one person touts the benefits of vanadyl, and another person counters with "it sucks, I'd rather take ALA".

The fact is all the points have been argued on many boards, ad nauseum, and those that do not grasp it yet, will never grasp it. So frankly, its a very pointless and increasingly annoying subject to cover. AMG makes a good point that the industry is more and more about the money. Then again, it always was, or it wouldn't be an industry. And in doing so he also explained to himself why bodybuilders still use VS and will continue to. Because it will continue to be sold to bodybuilders who don't know any better.

Natron makes an even better point. No point in not using it. What supplement is really stronger than that which tricks your mind ? If you like placebo's, take them. No supplement quite as strong as a good placebo. Studies have proven that imagining you are doing barbell curls several times a week for a month can increase muscle size 30%. Even the best supplement no one believes in, can't beat the worst supplement everyone believes in.

Good things come to those who weight.

BC,do you not think VS promotes a pumped and full look?
I know it did for me and many of my friends.I don't know if it promotes anabolism,probably not,but some feel the cosmetic effect is worth it since it's dirt cheap.

For whatever it's worth it can make you feel a bit hypo.

I haven't noticed the effect, no.

I also can't say that if it did, I would recommend it. I'm in the business of creating muscle, or if you will a "Permanent" pumped and full look. Anything that does so artificially and temporarily is in fact an obstacle for me in assessing true progress.

Yes,sure,but steroids don't exactly cause a "permanent pumped look" either.Steroids give you a "look" that is very much artificial.Once you go off you may retain much of the actual muscle but you lose the vascularity and fullness.

I can remember using VS for that same effect, I started using it a few weeks prior a bodybuilding comp. Now I stay on ALA year around and cycle EQ for the added vascularity that it provides.

I can't say I agree, because if you know what you're doing then you'll get the permanent look, if you don't you'll face down on the end of roids, going back to where you started the "trip".

To me, the trainer, that's a side-effect and not a benefit.

Hard list.

Of course :

Ephedrine/caffeine
forskolin
Casein/whey
creatine
Zinc chloride/magnesium bicarbonate
B-Vitamins

Apart from that : evocarpine, [8]-gingerol, berberine, magnolol, flavanone. And probably a host of products most have never even heard about : L-arabinose, kurarinone, gamma-tocotrienol etc.

Drugs :
Testosterone, trenbolone and to a much, much lesser extent, oxymetholone (great drug, but avoid orals if at all possible).
