In my previous articles, I've made no bones about the fact that bodybuilding supplements are not necessary for you to gain muscle. I've made the point repeatedly that you can build a large amount of muscle naturally and safely without supplements (and definitely without steroids).
In this article, I wanted to tackle an interesting question that came up recently in one of my conversations. Namely, why do supplement companies do so well? First of all, what I want to say applies mainly to the bodybuilding and weightlifting industries. I'm not referring to general supplement products such as vitamins, minerals, probiotics, etc. Some of this may indeed apply to these kinds of supplement companies, but I think in general they tend to be more legitimate than bodybuilding supplements. So I really want to focus on weightlifting supplements specifically.
To find out why bodybuilding supplements are not necessary, you can check out some of my other articles. There are also some great comprehensive programs that teach you how to build muscle effectively without any supplements. However, let's get back to the question of why they're successful.
Bodybuilding supplement companies have had a great success because most people tend to look for the easy way out. Even though natural bodybuilding is a cheaper and probably more effective way to build muscle, it isn't as glamorous. After all, if you could take a pill every day that would magically deliver muscles without having to do any of the work, that would be a pretty good deal wouldn't it? The problem is that this kind of scenario doesn't really exist in the real world.
There are couple scenarios which tend to occur when people use bodybuilding supplements. The first possibility is that the trainee experiences significant gains which he then attributes to the supplements. Even though his workout routine and nutritional plan may have been mostly or even solely responsible for his results, it's easy to think that the bodybuilding supplements have done most of the work.
The other likely scenario is that people will not experience any major results because they'll rely too heavily on the supplements. In this case, the trainee will probably jump from one supplement to the next trying to find the magic bullet. In the end, the company continues to make money because this new trainee keeps looking for the easy way out. And of course, if this aspiring bodybuilder ever figures it out, someone else will step in his place and send more money to supplement companies.
The bottom line is that supplements are not necessary for you to build a muscular physique. Relying on muscle building supplements can leave you disappointed and broke! Do yourself a favor and find a comprehensive muscle building program that teaches you how to build muscle naturally.
