do i take them? oh yes, i surely do. am i any more fit because of them? that's highly debatable. thats not to say that the glucuronolactone or coenzyme q10 in the 314gram tub of "white flood", which i purchased for $29.99, doesn't hold any physique sculpting value. yet, it does raise the question of what these ingredients actually do and how efficient they are. the pudgy twenty-two year old with his chest out and coat hanger stance working the counter of your local supplement store will tell you that all of these ingredients are essential to obtaining real results. who are we to question? he speaks like a chemist and makes a whopping $9.00 an hour. the guy is legit. after nodding in agreement for fifteen minutes while muscle boy compares and contrasts products in a rehearsed manner, the average consumer has already made their decision. this decision is based on two things: budget and which product has the most badass name. white flood, no explode, jack'd, jet fuel, fusion force, chuck norris spluge... its endless.
so i ask myself, "why do i take them?" the answer is quite simple. its easy to stir the powder into water and down the sweet raspberry beverage. what's not easy, is justifying sitting on my ass after having the drink. i've never once, after the last sip, said to myself "that was tasty, i think ill go goof on facebook for an hour." after drinking "white flood", i've pretty much bound myself to some mythical must workout contract. the energy boost, i suppose, is a plus... but im twenty eight and healthy, i dont need it. i enjoy being fit. i don't always enjoy the gym. i literally have to put myself in an ethical dilemma some days just to muster up a little motivation. but whatever, i get it done.
just as the ugly girl wears her expensive cosmetics and is still pretty ugly, i drink my pre-workout supplements and am still relatively skinny. in the right light, we both might look a little better, but at least thin is in. ugly girls aren't real people.
