Fake titted girls who are "bikini models"
Juiced guys claiming natty
Overpiced supps

I know Weider ads/magazines from the 70s/80s/90s were garbage too, but social media is taking it to a next level now and IMO incorrectly educating people.

Thoughts ?
The fitness industry is one of the biggest scam artist preying on peoples insecurities just like the make up industry. They pay ripped or famous people to say products work when they actually don't. Sad part there will always be naive people in this world

Yea thats my biggest gripe. Im so over the bullshyt though it doesnt even register with me anymore.

I dont think IG/YT are bad though, let em eat. Plus a lot of brehs are passing out good knowledge. 3DMJ, Chris Jones, Matt Ogus, all good guys IMO.

Ogus is one of the worst IMO, along with Jeff Seid. Chris Jones I dont mind, but wont be long till he sells out like them all IMO.

Dunno if I can rate dudes just blatantly lying to uneducated people, but then again are they to blame or the stupid ppl who eat all this up.

It has been going on for years, except for IG and Facebook and social media. That's all new.

to be real all supps can be thrown out the door. Really you can just eat good and pop a caffeine pill pre workout and be straight.

Me personally only thing I will probably continue to use are Multi Vitamin, Fish Oil, Creatine, Protein. I do use BCAAs pre and intra workout because I train fasted, but I actually just enjoy sipping on it more so than water, but even those aren't truly needed if you aren't cutting or will get a meal in after your workout.

Naiveté isn't the problem. The problem is that people are LAZY and are looking for the easiest way out of every situation. People will pay for a pill before they'll simply get off of their ass and run a mile and then change their eating habits.
