    The Top 5 Training Supplements You Can Get...SOLO Ep

    Ok, I’m just going to come out with it. 95% of marketed supplements don’t work. And the 5% that do, 99% of their marketing oversells or exaggerates them. It’s shit, but it’s true. There are actually very few supplements we KNOW work. There are actually very few supplements you should be spending your money on to aid either your health or recovery/performance. We’ve all been scammed into buying the latest supplement. Going with the latest ‘cutting edge’ trends, Only to be disappointed… D-aspartic acid, testosterone Tribulus, BCAA’s to name a few I’ve fallen for in the past. So in the latest episode of Fitness Thoughts I wanted to finally put this all to bed and give you some REAL advice when it comes to supplements. In the episode I talk through the most well researched and evidence-based supps we KNOW actually help us with our training/recovery: We talk about: WHEY & PLANT based protein powders Creatine Caffeine Citrulline Beta-alanine So if you want to know how these supps actually work and what they’re for, Go and give this weeks episode a listen!
