Can you please help with what to say?

It's for Gacic and Leucik (sp?) ~ both by the same company, Muscle Tech. I don't like one thing the advertisment has to say, and I can't imagine buying in to it myself, but he is. Do any of you know anything about these products? Not that they give a list of ingredients or anything, but any help would be great. My husband and I usually do his on`line ordering for him, and so I have been stalling on this. It just doesnt set well in my tummy for some reason. I know it's not my body, but I feel concerned anyways. Thanks so much!

I am assuming that he wants to suddenly get big. It is a waste of money. If he is young then he just needs to eat a lot of the right foods (this site can help tremendously with some time searching). The effect that these advertisements are having on your "someone special" is exactly why companies advertise the way that they do. Hard work and patience.... I think that guys sometimes fall for this because there is so little good information in mainstream publications. The magazines make their money from all of the companies selling miracle supplements. With no other information readily available and a desire to believe the stuff will work we all have fallen early on. There are dozens of posts here that say the same about miracle supplements. You might show them to him if this won't upset him too much or even if it does. Good luck. I hope my opinion has been useful.

I mean, they buy a product that doesn't do anything, then turn around when the company comes out with something else hyped up or some new delivery system, and they will run out and buy it. Over and over and over again, then sit around on these boards and cry and moan about how the stuff doesn't work! Amazing, huh? 90% of fat burners do nothing, why would it be any different for gainers? -------------- Strength and Honor!

They were hyped beyond belief and look at it now - nonexistent. Most of these new supplements are garbage and the so-called research behind them is baseless. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"

I was in denial for about 6 months before admitting that there is no miracle. bb1fit, I guess that's why people call us weightlifters meatheads. :big_smile:

Tell them to spend their money on whole food and bust their a$$ in the gym. Guaranteed results and much more satisfying. -------------- Seize the day!
