I am also in the supplementation/vitamin industry, and some of the stuff in here is really funny
First of all, for the people that are complaining about the creatine in No-Explode, BSN last month had a lawsuit compiled against them because 3 of their products, No-Explode included, didn't contain what it was meant to. It was meant to have a patented creatine ethyl ester malate, but it had zero traces of this. Infact there was no patent at all, this was just made up. There were minimal traces of monohydrate found in it, but very minimal. Basically it is full of caffeine and who know's what else.
Also someone said homeopathic hgh is illegal in australia, it's not, and that's because it's shit and doesn't work.
Creatine monohydrate is completely fine if you have realistic expectations. No, it's won't make your muscles bigger. yes, it will give you longer endurance etc, so indirectly can help. I mean, it's scientifically proven to work, not like half the shit out there.
Protein powders are great, and much better than eggs pre/post workout. But they are only a supplement, and most of your protein intake should be coming in through your daily diet.
In the end, as said, you eat alot. ALOT! If your not doing that, day in, day out, forget the supps. The only ones you need anyway are protein, multi's and fish oil anyway. Stop wasting money and spend it on some food. Most guys coming in to buy supps are skinny. WTF. Go eat!
If you want to spend $1000's on supps, just do a cycle of aas. At least that will work.
and drmafia do you really think bodybuilders care about power and speed. Their sport is being on a stage. Don't bring up those stupid arguments, heard too many of them..... horses for courses mate. Don't make me bring up olympic lifters, ha ha, they have more power and explosiveness than alot of people on the planet, and alot of them aren't small
Out of curiosity, all you guys raving on about supps, what do you weigh, how much do you squat, how much do you deadlift and post a pic. Let's see if these supps are really worth it.
