Wannabes in GNC

[jtunderdog]

So I am in Gnc buying a protein shake because I am stranded in the mall and its been 3 hours since I took in any protein and I hear this idiot in the corner. Apparently he is the spokesman for muscletech (no offense to you elite mt athletes. He is telling this 15 year old kid that he is taking nitro tech and it is like being on juice. He then say that he has a huge bottle of cell tech and he tells the guy "I promise you when you see me Ill be up 20 pounds by the end of next month" just from the cell tech. Crack head. The dude behind the counter was cracking up and so was I.

samething happened to me yesteday. so people really are clueless about supplements so they relay on GNC employees to tell them right from wrong. and yes, there are time i feel bad for the people that are getting suckered into buying a bottle of size on and a bottle of superpump for $120 :-(

yeah love that shit when they are about as big around as a pencil trying to prescribe shit. and high pressure sales people holy shit. tell them that you get your sups online for a quarter of the price they love that.

 

[jtunderdog]

Yep on the online. The guy was trying to hock something on me that I knew was way cheaper online than in gnc. He wasn't too happy when I told him the only reason I came in was an emergency purchase. It was also funny because I asked him about a couple supps and he told me a great testosterone booster that was 145 dollars a box to buy. He said he was on it and said he was getting great results. He was so freaking test bloated it wasn't funny. His arms were full of zits too. What I love is when they argue with you about crap you know is incorrect as well. Very few of those guys even notice there are isolates, casein proteins, and other issues to consider when you buy that stuff.

GNC is rape on the other hand they do use those big dollars to lobby and protect the supplement industry.

Recently ,in the new york courts, they tried to ban all OTC supplements. GNC was part of the coalition that helped shoot that proposition down.

They were opposing the FDA's efforts to redefine disease and restrict information on dietary supplement labels.
helped block New York legislation that tried to restrict the use of dietary supplements.
fought the FDA over its restrictive guidance about Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
fought state governments and private industry over rBGH in dairy products, over GMO labeling and pesticides.

They actually do a lot of good to make it possible to go online and have these things available.

So let the suckers pay high prices because we need that money to go into the protection of our rights.

Shit imagine if we had to get whey and creatine from china.lol

lol, good point. Customs got my creatine...... fuck!!! lol

 

[saturn1]

Yeah and the creatine would be a $1 a gram.......That would really suck.

When creatine first came out from california body club which bill phillips and muscle media ended up purchasing ( then established EAS with creatine as the flagship) that shit was like $50 for 100 grams.
