Did anyone else have this "Supplement Ban" when they were in school?

I remember I was slagged for taking Celltech in 6th year, but people didnt know half as much as they do now in sch, and that was only 2004...

Nah when I was in school supplements weren't banned, but they were never supported either.

I remember a letter was sent home to all the parents making claims on "supplements and adverse health effects".Was absolute shite,just laughed after reading the thing.

ehh....and where were their references???

My school did the same thing, "apparently" creatine causes kidney failure and ya die, the letter was pretty blunt... It tuk some convincing to my parents that i wasnt going to end up on the transplant list for a new pair of kidneys...

And the cheek of my GP, i wasnt feeling the best around christmas, and i asked wud supplements affect the antibiotics, and he said he "didnt agree with all that rubbish"... That was good coming from him, the man has trouble walking up the stairs he's so overweight...

ya we got the former doctor to the irish olympic team in to give us a talk on nutrition etc in 6thyear. he didnt mention supplements as such, more of a anti - steroid talk. didnt stop the school banning the use of supplements tho.

i queried why were people still allowed to supplement their vit C intake with berocca and fish oils etc and i was told, 'sure they could put rat poison in those tubs you have and you wouldnt know'.

i get fuckig annoyed just thinking about the stupidity behind it

I wouldnt even care that much if only protein was allowed! Because personally i dont think it is setting a great example for the very young kids taking much else in public!(no,creatine etc)

Can any one reccomend a good pre work out supp to stack with smartgainer and whey?

venom got a few new ones in. Black powder is 1 of em supposed 2 be very good, as with Dorian yates one. Either of them or no shogun u can't really go wrong.

Id go VPX No Shotgun, seems to be the best ive tried so far, its got every thing ya need in it... Take it 30mins before you hit the weights...

Im tryin no shogun tomaro but my friends were tellin me its amazing but they can get very dizzy and feel sick wit it..ive never tried pre workout supplements before; is this the case wit all pre workout supplements.

Some people react diffently to them, No Shotgun suits me, thats why i got it... Just suck the water into ya when ur working out...

ya water is essential to stop the dizziness. i take it 10 -15 mins before i work out, that works best for me. shotguns probably the most complete supp out there its savage

I tried shotgun today...to be honest not too much more intense then usual but for the first 5 mins i felt very hyper! Dist really get the pump....but i did go 30 kgs above my max deadlift to 150 so maybe it was the no shotgun!
