My old friends at a certain popular bodybuilding website are at it again. It appears they are in the process of releasing a new supplement and this means their guerrilla marketing activities kick into high gear.
The normal modus operand i works this way. One of the popular staff or feature writers will mention in passing a supplement they are taking as part of their regime. The clever part is they won't say much about the supplement in question just a couple of positive assertions about how good they feel post ingestion or that they were a bit low until said supplement kicked in.
The merest mention of a possible new supplement drives the faithful into a frenzy. Consequently the forums of this particular site go apoplectic with queries about the supplement: when's it out, what's it called, when can I get it etc. If they stick to their form they will stoke this flurry of interest by cheeky but deliberate snippets of information. This usually takes the form of:
'well its a top secret black ops item we have only be offering to pro bodybuilders"
This serves to drive even more activity on the boards and voila in 5- 6 weeks the demand for this product is overwhelming just in time for the heralded release.
Once released the price will be exorbitant and if they are unlucky the customers will be told that to get the most from the supplement they must sign up for an automatic re-order requirement on their credit card!!1
Stay tuned for this must have supplement and yes this crew really do give me the shits!

Gomez I fully agree but:
Delete1) only a small number of supplements have been proven to work effectively and
2) regardless of the benefit it still requires training and diet to be operating at an optimal level
I'm assuming that small number is whey, creatine and caffeine?
ReplyDeleteHi Elijah
Deleteyes they are the staples that I use, however I agree there are many other supplements that have benefit such as phosphatidylserine. However the equation always comes down to efficacy versus cost.
Do you have any that work well for you?
Well those are the only three I use to support my size and strength gains. In terms of dying the slowest way possible I use a multivitamin, fish oil and glucosamine.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have it well covered Elijah. By the way I am not anti supplements I just believe that on the whole the industry is slanted towards 18 year old teenagers who don't objectively evaluate the efficacy of a product!
