Whole Food then Exercise then Supplements Maybe.......

Great physiques have been built for thousands of years on food and exercise. Supplements seem to have a short history outside of current times. I mean for me in the 80's a pre-workout was fruit or fruit juice. I wasn't timing anything. I lifted, walked home and drank some milk. Maybe made a sandwich and grew all the same.

I didn't slam whey and carbs. I didn't have casein at bedtime. And the BCAAs I had came from whole foods .... unless I saved enough lunch money to buy some dessicated liver tablets.

Since then I've tried every supplement imaginable with a lot of healthy skepticism. The skepticism comes from reading 35 years worth of claims from supplement manufacturers.

But alas I still look for that magic pill.


I do believe in my fish oil, creatine and protein powders. But I know that I could still be well off without any of it.
