Supplements are one of the markets if not the biggest thing in fitness currently and because of that everyone is trying to get a piece of the action. The Dietary Supplement industry averages $20 billion dollars in consumer sales each year and the majority of that comes from some fad pill, cream, or miracle drug that is currently being preached as the wonder drug and next best thing to reach all your goals in life. I want to give out a few of my own personal supplement suggestions that I recommend to all my athletes, clients, friends, anyone who asks me what they should take, use myself. Continue reading »
So you have been hitting the gym hard and trying to eat as much as possible, but still don’t see the results you are going after? If so then you need to make sure you are using this one supplement with every meal and snack you consume.
First let’s define what exactly a supplement is. Webster’s dictionary defines supplements as:
1 a : something that completes or makes an addition.
This means that anything you add to your normal daily food intake is a supplement. It does not mean that a supplement has to be a pill, powder, drink, cream, spray or whatever the stupid craze is these days in all the bodybuilding magazines.
So many people get caught up in the flashy marketing, bodybuilder type pictures, and “super new scientific” breakthroughs, that they forget about the basics. This is great when people are trying to lose weight since these supplements only make the wallet lighter, but for the most part they are worthless.
There are some fancy ones out there though that make some awesome claims, and I admit that I have fallen prey to them many times in the past. 20lbs in 3 weeks? No way that could be true… But in the back of my mind I would think “what if it is”. Next thing I know I have shelled out 60-70-80 bucks on total crap.
Well not this time. This time I’m going to save your money and time, and just tell you about a supplement that has been giving lifters tremendous gains for many years. You won’t find this at your local GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, or other Supplement Warehouse Superstore, but you can purchase it…
You ready for the secret? Ready for mind blowing muscle gains, and the ability to pack on some much wanted needed size, and everything else all those advertisements claim but never produce? Continue reading »
