what bother me most about MT is their advertising. Not necessarily because it's all bs, but because the claims are so outrageous (for products that are barely effective, if at all) that it's clear they are deliberately deceiving the consumer. There's a difference between creative marketing, and just plain lying. Creative marketing is a great business strategy, especially in the supplement industry where it's nearly impossible to break through the noise. But to make such outlandish lies, just to goad unsuspecting consumers into purchasing a grossly overpriced product, is appalling and wrong.

Ethics, in my opinion, is a huge responsibility in the health and fitness industry. You are not just messing with peoples' money and time, you are messing with their lifestyles. Yes, people should be held somewhat responsible for doing research and making informed decisions, but LBJ put it well by pointing out that there are people out there new to working out (and veterans as well) who will be deceived into buying MT, and it's because MT does not hold themselves to any standard of truth in advertising that people buy and rely on these products.

Long story short, what MT does as a business is wrong. Their operations are based on lies and deceit, which are practices that should NOT be tolerated!

great post half secon I believe the same thing. People who sell supplements I feel have a responsibility to help people make the right decisions. Reps coming your way.

thanks guys and Teamorbit for the reps, I'm glad to hear that it is as much of a concern to you all as it is to me. I'm also glad all my tuition dollars are actually going towards something! lol

of course, after people stick up for Muscletech and other smiliar brands in threads like these, they are never heard of again. and rightfully so.

because they are not real men. they are nerds.

Fun Fact

Did you know Muscletech products provide some of the highest paying commission to GNC employees, I would know, I am one, but that still doesn't mean by any means it lives up to the "10 lbs in 2 days" hype it displays. I feel like I am the only GNC employee who knows anything about these supplements, all the other ones have posted threads defending muscletech and things like that


P.S. to all the promuscletech GNC employees who think they know everything and anything about supplements because you work at GNC, I work there, and I dont buy or do anything different in the gym before confirming it here, so the nametag with the cute little "How can I help you reach your goals?" line on it doesnt make you any smarter on supplement/bbuilding matters. soooooooooorry

Everyone from GNC thinks EVERYTHING they sell works. I'd be like "No, it doesn't work, but you can get it if you want to"

they're ads are hilarious. they try to make it sound like you have one cell tech shake and your off to the olympia. i just don't like how the fore runner of the industry has stooped to such a low level, when other companies out there go unnoticed and have way better products.
