Because we live in the age of bullshitting. It's not about working out because it's healthy, it's about getting a sixpack doing the least amount of work possible so we look great.

Just channel your hate towards ILiveForJuve. He's a prime example of everything that's wrong with society.

I joined a gym yesterday , i've been working out by myself for about 8 months and felt that it was the right time to move across to somewhere with the eqpt to move me to the next level.

How do you guys feel about protein supplements? I've looked up trial data and none of the companies that sell them in the UK provide any, and the few placebo control trials that are about show no difference. I asked the guy at the gym who did my induction/plan and he said he takes and see's no difference but still takes them. I don't follow that logic, what do you guys think? I have protein in my diet already.

Just drink diet coke as much as you can around and you'll be fine. We've discussed and analysed all these before and came to the conclusion that around 10 to 12 liters of diet coke is everythiong you need during your daily consumption of calories.

Personally, i would always advice against supplements. Just take a healthy diet, work out regularly and limit the junk in your food. I've never taken supplements in my life and i go to gym regularly. Never had any issues.

If you plan on becoming something like The Hulk, then its a different story.

Supplements (legal) are 5% of the work at most.

Sadly people think it's 80%.

The sad thing is, if you'd said this to me three years ago I probably wouldn't have been far off.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not planning on looking like the hulk but the aim to reach my physical prime, I don't want to regret having missed the opportunity when i'm older. I used to be quite fat so I also figured if i'm at the top, it will be a lot harder to get back to the worst!

There's nothing sad about it, you should be proud and I encourage you to go back to your habits.

I can't remember if you hate me or if that was someone else, i think it is you - I apologise for previous offenses, meant with sincerity irrespective of how you take/respond to it.

We've gone through this and I don't hate anyone, you may have annoyed me in the past but you already apologized and it's all water under the bridge. My comments about diet coke were nothing for you to take personally really. I was taking a jab at someone else.
