Things have a very funny way of working out. I go into a GNC for a few supplements and I walk out with a mind blowing inspiration of a vastly spreading epidemic , Worse than Ebola !
There's a horrible case of stupidity going around the fitness world and somewhere along the line it just took off like a rocket to the stars.
At some point in time, people began to actually believe that there is a supplement out there today that you can buy and you would drop 15lbs , gain 5lbs of muscle and look 5 years younger all without exercising.
Folks, I am literally blown away.
The story goes as this: the GNC employee and a naive woman were discussing a fat burning pill and a protein . Shamelessly my wife asks vaguely, " do you workout? ". Both ladies look at my wife and each other and both said
..... "No."
Imagine that, people would actually spend in the upwards of $150 for supplements to give them the exact same results as working out alone would do. Talk about buying the milk and screwing the cow (not literally I hope)
Let me set this straight from experience:
1. There is NO pill, powder or even a prayer for your ass.
2. There is ONLY hard work and that's all
Supplements were NEVER meant to replace the quality of real food and , sure as hell weren't made to take all the damn work out of the equation. They were made to only ASSIST in your fitness journey; not walk the whole walk for you.
Now my next thing is, who's the blame? Is it just stupidity on the people or is it the ignorance of marketing? Maybe the genius of marketing is a better culprit to blame. The only reason I ask that is this BS is happening across all product planes, not just the supplement industry.
Sak's 5th Avenue will sell you an eye cream for $800 (and the bottle is smaller than your ex bfs package) with the promises of no more eye wrinkles , crows feet and look younger. Fact of the matter is, unless the bottle goes into a syringe followed by a needle going into your skin, you're gonna have those wrinkles and no cream is going to make you look younger.
Educate yourself before investing blindly into a marketing scheme. If whatever you're investing in DOESN'T include the fact that hard work and dedication go into it then you're going to be a very unsatisfied customer
Talk care and train hard
