Before I jump in, I want to first off wish all my fellow
Canadians a Happy Canada Day...yesterday (yep, I'm one of those
barbarians from the great, white north, too :).

And a happy upcoming Fourth of July to all my American friends!

So, as a long-time trainer, I've tried a lot of bodybuilding
supplements and I've seen a lot of supplements come and go. Some
have been good; some have been garbage. Here's a few that never
even came close...


1. The Protein Powder Keg - a 100 pound barrel of explosive
protein (don't light a match after ingesting). Contains over 100
megatons of backfirepower per keg.

2. Cheese Whiz Creatine - if creatine is unstable in a liquid,
surely it must be stable in a thick, cheesy goo.

3. Saw Clamato - a Saw Palmetto and Clamato juice knock-off. It
doesn't do anything for your prostate but it tastes really good
when mixed with other supplements.

4. Sucker 2, The World's Strongest Fat Burglar - burns the fat
off your body while you sleep! Unfortunately, you will never
sleep again if you take it regularly.

5. DHEAHMBCLANO2WWECNN - the latest innovation in shotgun
supplementation. Fire it all in - something's gotta work!

6. Ephedra-Free Ma Huang - works best in combination with
caffeine-free guarana and aspirin-free white willow bark.

7. The Super-Complete Trainers Multi-Vitamin - contains every
single nutrient in optimal quantities for hard-training athletes.
Each pill weighs six pounds and must be held under the tongue for
3 hours. Also available in a gel-cap the size of your head.

8. High-Protein Kibbles & Creatine Bits - Purina's first (and
last) foray into the supplement industry.

9. Meal Replacement Bar - instead of eating, you go to a tavern
and get loaded.

10. Krazy-Glue-Cosamine - seal up joint injuries permanently.

11. Vitamin C Biscuits - a shameless marketing ploy by Hollywood
to promote a film. Nothing but orange-flavored horse manure.

12. CLBA - Conjugated Linoleic Battery Acid - for use whenever
you need a jump-start in your training.

13. Hydrogen Dioxide - this chemical is currently under
investigation by the International Olympic Committee for its
powerful performance-enhancing effects in the human body.
Although it is available in many fruity flavors, the generic
version of H2O is by far the most popular among athletes and is
often stacked with another controversial supplement known as
"food."

---

As you can see, supplementation can be confusing, but, if you're
looking for that extra boost in your training, stick with proven
supplements such as protein, creatine, glutamine and
multi-vitamins (and plenty of hydrogen dioxide!) and you can't go
wrong.

P.S. If you're looking for actual, useful supplements, I HIGHLY
recommend my partners at Prograde Nutrition. They have a great
line-up of research-backed supplements...multivitamins for men
and women, meal replacements, whey protein, a REAL fat-loss
booster, and my personal favorite...Cravers (energy bars that are
100% organic and taste AWESOME).
