optimal end of the spectrum, introducing supplements will make a 10% difference
- at best - and this is being generous. Generally I would say they make a 1-2 % difference
because they only work in synergy when your training, nutrition and lifestyle are
dialed in – and for most guys taking supplements, this is not the case.
You will be more successful taking your fitness to the next level by mastering the
training techniques, recovery techniques and nutrition habits that I share in this
blog. Pick up any bodybuilding magazine nearby and I promise you that the only thing
those supplement advertisements will deliver is a lighter wallet.
Powders are nothing more than crushed up food and are
loaded with artificial flavoring, preservatives,
and lots of chemicals.
Shakes are certainly convenient and may assist you in reaching your goal calories but
do not kid yourself into believing that they will have the same anabolic effect as food
– don’t let any supplement ad convince you otherwise!
Dumping chemicals, artificial colors, flavoring, sugars, sweeteners, and preservatives
into your body basically turns your insides into a toxic waste dump! And did you know
that this toxic waste loves to attach itself to your fat stores, making it even harder
to get rid of body fat? You can imagine how much harder it will be to build
massive muscle in a toxic environment. What goes in must come out.
Put garbage in and garbage will come out in the form of decreased
energy, slow recovery, poor appetite, poor sleep, and
poor attitude – all elements critical for muscle building.
When was the last time an athlete won, or a medal was won, or a team won on pills,
powders and shakes? Never! Nutritional supplements – not even food – will stimulate
muscle growth. But exercise does. In another supplementation article we will share a small
handful of supplements that are worth considering and which we do suggest when your
training, nutrition and lifestyle are optimized 90% and you need a little extra edge.
