Are you confused and unsure what to take when it comes to muscle building and fat loss supplements? If so, then welcome to the club because I’m confused about supplements as well. In fact I think if anyone tells you that they AREN’T confused about supplements, either they couldn’t care less about them, or they are lying and won’t let their egos admit that they are confused.
I mean every month there are new products hitting the market, some new weird and wonderful anabolic concoction that’s promised to be the long lost secret to achieving the ripped muscular body of your dreams. Or some new loss super duper fat loss diet loss pill that will melt the fat off you quicker then a stick of butter in a red hot frying pan.
And these supplements can be tempting. Especially when you read the glossy full page magazine ads with all the scientific jargon, and the picture of some jacked up muscle dude claiming that he built his body as a direct result of taking “Supplement X”. Then to top it off they’ll stick a picture in the background of a guy dressed as a doctor with a stethoscope around his neck and a clipboard in his hand to make the whole thing seem “official”.
I mean with all that stuff being heavily promoted in an internationally published bodybuilding magazine, how can one not help but to be a little intrigued about this magic muscle building breakthrough miracle that they are selling.
Now before you think that I’m just going to go on a big “Anti-Supplement” rant, I’m NOT. I actually do use and whole heartedly believe there are huge benefits to taking certain Supplements. But what I don’t like is the deceptive tactics and BS that most supplement companies use when promoting their products.
My goal with this video is to help you become a more educated consumer so that you don’t fall prey to the lies and misconceptions that greedy supplement marketers use to trick you out of your hard earned money. I also want to help you make intelligent supplement choices that will move you closer to achieving the lean muscular physique you desire. Rather then just getting a lean wallet, which is all most people end up with when buying supplements.

Great video Lee. I recently started taking Creatine (Monohydrate) and for a short time I had great gains in my endurance and size. Unfortunatly I experienced a few bad side effects (Stomach aches mixed with cramping). You have any suggestions on other Creatine that is easier on the stomach ???

6. All this …
6. All this supplement industry is what 20-30 years old? But lean muscle has been around for thousands of years.
7. Do using supplements like protein shakes (with or without creatine), etc really make you stronger (i.e. lift heavier), enables you to workout longer, allows you to recover faster?
8. To me it seems like using supplements is like using drugs, you have to use them for life. Isn’t it what the 30+ billion dollar supplement industry is trying to do?
4. What if beyond …
4. What if beyond minimal effectiveness of these supplements, it’s all placebo effect? I mean you look like a very strong guy. How do you know the supplements didn’t do anything other than making you believe that you are supercharged?
5. Is it also ok or healthy to stop using supplements once you start using them? Can you do it at the drop of a hat? I hear your muscles might become more saggy. (continued…)
3. How can you …
3. How can you calculate the amount of protein needed for someone? I always hear people give some number based on your body weight. How can this alone be true? That’s why I am very skeptical to protein shakes and other body building supplements (not vitamins or fish oil)
Shouldn’t it just be based on roughly on the amounf of muscle you have? How can I huge fat guy could have the same proteion requirements as someone of the same weight but of pure lean muscle? (continued…)

@leemhayward Haha you have a great sense of humor.
