Look through any current bodybuilding magazine -- what are the vast majority
of advertisements selling? Supplements! We buy these popular bodybuilding
publications believing that our $5 is well invested in over 300 pages of current
bodybuilding information, yet most of the magazine is devoted to pushing
worthless powders and pills. With these magazines charging thousands of dollars
per page for a black and white add, big time bodybuilding publications are
making hundreds of thousands in profit per issue on supplements ALONE. Can
you now understand why these magazines refuse to print the truth about
supplementation? They're making millions per year off of companies that sell muscle building and fat loss products, and they will NEVER bite the hand that
feeds them. Just as special interest groups influence political decisions,
supplement companies slant the opinions of big time magazine authors. This is
not to mention the magazines that promote their OWN supplements within the
"unbiased" articles, which is downright scary.

How Many Times Do We Need To Gain NOTHING From Supplements To Realize That THEY ARE NOT THE ANSWER?
Many people experience nothing but disappointment when using supplements, yet
CONTINUALLY believe the newest advertising campaign (this was me several years ago!). A friend
of mine who had been vigorously trying to gain muscle mass once concluded that he could print up a fancy label, wrap it around a bottle of urine, and sell it to
those searching for a muscle building or fat loss solution. Maybe he can even
call it "Super Lemon Testosterone Booster"? I guess we're lucky he didn't
decide to enter the supplement industry (or did he?)! Nevertheless, there is
quite a bit of wisdom to be taken from that statement, as bodybuilders will try
any supplement promising muscle gains or fat loss, regardless of
how bad it tastes, how awful it smells, how much it costs, how dangerous it may be, or how
disappointing it is to those who have already used the product! Knowing
this, supplement companies will say, and do, anything to convince you
that their product is "steroid like", including paying premium endorsement rates
to professional bodybuilders such as Mr. Olympia winners. Unfortunately, many
actually believe that a legal "testosterone booster", weight gain powder or
creatine has something to do with Mr. Olympia competitors' 21+ inch arms. If these supplements were so effective, wouldn't newcomers to training
(who have never taken steroids or other illegal anabolic drugs) make the best
endorsement subjects?
Just remember the last time you used supplements, and keep in mind you are reading this article because you have yet to achieve desired results. Most people need merely reflect on their own past experience, and they will clearly see that supplements are the biggest lie in bodybuilding! |
