Back in the golden age of bodybuilding, the forties, fifties and sixties bodybuilding was about strength and health.

Bodybuilders back then not only looked strong they were strong.

But they were athletic as well.

I know some people will say, yes, but those guys still used, special supplements, if you know what I mean.

And besides today’s bodybuilders are much bigger and more advanced.

To those objections, I say, yes, sure they used, special supplements, back then, but I don’t believe they were everything like that are today.

And about today’s bodybuilders being more massive, sure they are, but are they better.

I am not so sure about that.

You might be thinking, what this has to do with anything.

A lot, actually.

I consider myself as coming from a good age in bodybuilding, they pro’s weren’t that massive yet and supplements were still pretty basic.

And this leads me to my main point.

I realize that things need to change and I am not saying that all supplements are bad, because I love the new protein powders; they mix in a glass with a spoon and taste very good.

Plus the post workout mixtures, at least some of them, are good too—and can really be of help to the hardgainer.

But where I have a problem with things, and this is just my opinion, is with some of these funky products we have now.

Things like the N O boosters and these weird pre workout supplements.

I was talking to a friend of mine about supplements a while back and he brought up a very good point, he said, what are the long term ramifications of taking some of these supplements.

And I couldn’t agree more, of course, I realize that most of the people taking these products are young and feel invincible, but is a little extra muscle worth damaging your health.

It really is not worth it to me.

And that is why I named this post B Careful Out There.

In the on-going quest for bigger and bigger muscles, we keep pushing things farther and farther.

To be honest, I would not touch some of these products with a ten foot poll.

If the add looks too good, then it probably is.

Tons of muscle has been built with the basics, good food, and hard work.

Be Careful Out There.

CONCLUSION

Bodybuilding used to be about strength and health and looking good and feeling great, and yes some of the supplement advances have been fantastic, but some are getting too fare outside the lines.

The next time you are thinking about spending your hard-earned money for an over-the-top sounding supplement, stop and think, what will this do to me long term.

Until Next Time

ALWAYS WORK HARD
