Hey all, kind of new, but I've got one thing that I wanted to ask.
Whenever anybody asks about my training, and it's clear they don't train themselves or are fairly new to it, they always ask if I'm 'on protein', in a negative way as if I'm cheating in some way if I supplement.
It's become so regular recently that I wish there was some way to educate the masses into believing that supplementation is not cheating. It's like asking somebody if they eat properly, isn't it? All we do by supplementing is take on the nutrients we feel/know to be necessary by easier means than through our diet, which would end up costly, and potentially arduous (I spend enough time cooking as it is!). Can you imagine eating like 6-7 chicken breasts a day? I would if I could, but I really don't think I could stomach it.
I really feel that that legal supplements are misunderstood by the general population, who instead associate them with steroid abuse.
Who else has this problem or has noticed it? It can't only be me!
On a side note, what's everybody's favourite protein supp? I use USN Whey at present, as I find it tastes good, mixes easily and is great as it has next to no carbs, but I'm wondering what else is out there!
Pleasure to be here.
