You would think that after a bodybuilding supplement has been out for so many years, one that is aimed at helping you gain weight, build muscle mass naturally, and increase strength, that this question would have been laid to rest a long time ago. Sadly, many still believe in it, but doubt its effectiveness.
Read FromSkinnyToMuscular.com’s latest article to read my opinion of this bodybuilding supplement:
I just rented last night and watched the new documentary titled “Bigger, Stronger, Faster”, which follows the whole anabolic steroids in athletics issue. Very good, very unbiased piece. The directory did an excellent job with this. What I enjoyed a lot was some very revealing bits of information about the bodybuilding supplement industry. In it was revealed, via a photographer for many muscle building supplement ads, how many times the “Before and After” photos are doctored. They even interviewed a popular and well known ex-MuscleTech athlete that admitted on camera that yes, he takes MuscleTech supplements, but that he also takes steroids. By the way, shortly after this movie initially came out the supplement company fired him!
It’s very interesting to see how anabolic steroids were made public enemy number one because of politics and a few individuals, and not because of “health issues”. Another area I found hilarious was the hiring of a couple of individuals that made supplements at the kitchen table for a price of about a dollar something, and can be sold for $30-$60 dollars a pop, and how easy it is. I highly recommend this documentary as it is a real eye opener.
If you’ve read any of my stuff in the past, you know pretty well what my opinion is of bodybuilding supplements, whether they be for the sake of burning body fat, muscle building, or gaining weight, aka “mass” or “bulk”. They are pretty much worthless and a waste of hard earned cash. Especially with an economy that’s in the toilet, the last thing anyone needs to be doing is spending the money they sweat so much to earn on pills, shakes, protein bars, and the like, that really don’t make a difference.
In a recent issue of IronMan magazine a columnist wrote about a “thermogenic” dietary supplement that is said to provide more calorie burning than the famous E/C/A (”Ephedrine / Caffeine / Aspirin”) stack. Well, when reading the column, they’re right; this nutritional supplement in question does indeed burn more calories. But want to know exactly how many more calories?
A whopping 50 more calories!!!! Whoop-tee-doo.
