I'm sure you have seen the ads in the news feed of your Facebook, or on the sidelines where the ads go, "gain muscle and lose fat-we show you how countless celebrities are doing it!".
Here is a sample
And they seem to be on a legit muscle and fitness website too... Well let's get one thing clear. This is pandering to the current young male trend to become the next aesthetics crew of their home town. BUT the science behind what they are selling isn't all that far fetched.
The basic outline is, take this supplement (normally something cool sounding like, Elk horn. ) and take that supplement, (another one that sounds like a nuclear explosion system for your muscles) and BAM you will have muscle FAST!
So what have they got right? The first supplement is designed to increase the testosterone levels in the body. Taken in a pill form and not reaching anywhere near the heights of steroid users, this extra testosterone should give you extra energy and aid the repair and recovery process. The second is the preworkout, inducing nitric oxide flow or bettering it through the blood system also helps grow muscles as the muscles get a better flow of blood to lift more, this breaking the fibers to create growth.
The part that they seem to skirt around, is that you will still need to as Arnie days "work your bit off!" All be it easier with these supplements in your repertoire.
Well I'm no sucker so I won't be sending my credit card details to an American store offering a free start up sample (chances are that customs might taken em anyway, the media is so miss informed about what is a steriod and what is a protein powder) instead I will trial 2 supplements as suggested, one being a testosterone booster and the other, a well known nitric oxide enhancer to the body building world and a BCAA to boot! L-glutamine.
Both of these products I have been able to order cheap through eBay sellers. The testosterone booster is based from a plant, which doing some extra research has lead me to believe that it will most likely do nothing. But hey what's a test without something to test...
As always I will post my results, my body is in a good state, lifting strong, but not super ripped, the holidays were unkind, but not too unkind to the body fat %.
Bring on the tests and recordings...
BTW - if the link on these ads takes you to a mens health website http://www.menhealthsix.com/topsecret/
Like this one, then these are the SECRET's that I'm telling you about. Besides that the website seems legit, but they are not affiliated with the magazine you see in the news stands. I did view a few other sites that did seem to provide workouts and month to month plans on how to lift big and get ripped, the pictures on these sites are more of a problem than anything, showing off roid boosted muscle men as the ideal!
Here we are in 2016 and the site is still up, constantly changing their "celebrity" who hot jacked, large, changed their body etc. What further research has shown is that the Free trial is bogus and that thw company does not refund opened bottles, therefore meaning if you do the trial... you pay for the supplements anyway. Where the fuck is the free in that? (Thankfully I did not find this out by actually trying them out, I just noticed we were still seeing this "Men's Health life" bullshit into 2016, so I did a bit more googling on the matter.
Please don't like their crap on Facebook or follow through with a Free trial, spend the pennies at a local supplement store and gym membership. Remember hard work and nutrition is the key to a fit ripped bod!
