I agree that maximuscle is a pile of rubbish. I also think the fitness supplement market is flooded with a lot of rubbish and advertising
I watched a really interesting programme a few months back (think it was Panorama) that ripped apart sports drinks and trainers, research proved that alot of the advertising claims were not actually supported by actual evidence. Which is pretty scary when these claims are the main reason we part with our hard earned cash.
The best part was Graeme Obree- 'the flying Scotsman', former cycling world-record holder and Olympic champion, who said his secret to success was bread (carbs) and jam (sugar) sandwiches, water and balanced diet.
I think alot of the results from taking supplements are physcological, we believe it works, work harder and make the most of the feel-good factor that it adds to the hard slog of training in order to keep fit, get fast and look good!
I am not completely against it as have the odd protein shake (Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard) after a work out when I'm running on empty and can't get to food quick enough. But I am concerned with number of articles that say high protein diets are bad for your kidneys because of the amount of protein they must get rid of.
The perfect recipe is to train hard and eat well
