Mag-10 Supplement: Thoughts?

Does anyone have any experience with this? Used the search function and got minimal hits.

Wendler recommended it, and that was good enough for me, but I can't quite tell what it's effects are, and the Google research I've done has given me mixed results.

Thought I'd ask you guys on here-- thanks!

If I remember rightly Wendler endorsed it on T-Nation? Most T-Nation articles have someone endorse a product that's sponsoring/sold by them, it's how they get their articles published, kind of a you scratch my back I'll scratch yours thing. The only time I read of someone endorsing it they seemed to make ridiculous claims. It's probably nowhere near as good as it's made out to be.

Jim Wendler doesn't do that. Jim Wendler squats 1,000 pounds.












(jk). Is that really the case? He specifically in the article talks about how he doesn't really endorse products, and isn't under contract to do so-- that's interesting if what your saying is true.

Thanks for the post bra. That makes it sound like has some serious results, but it also makes it sound like a steroid of unknown composition, which I'm not entirely sure I wanna venture into hahaha.

Joe Rogan is too funny

Notice how it makes it a bit more believable?
I doubt there's any contract, probably quite informal. Just remember having Wendler post an article gets people to the site and generates revenue for T-Nation through advertisement, people buying their products etc, and putting himself on T-Nation gets more people familiar with his work, more people buying 5/3/1 and his other stuff. It's win-win for both parties.
You never know though, maybe it is that good. I just think it's good to approach things with a bit of cynicism.

After a quick google all the reviews for Mag-10 seem to be from around 2001. Looks like it would have contained the prohormone 1-testosterone, which I believe was made illegal in 2005. So it probably used to work very well but maybe won't now, assuming the formula has changed.
For how much it costs you could probably run a proper cycle for the same amount of money and see better results. Or get some decent food and plan for long term results.

You're considering paying $75 for 2lbs of casein protein mixed with dextrose & electrolytes?

You're seriously considering this?

Looks like the formula's definitely changed then.
