Workout buddies and some exotic supplements...

Over the summer I worked out with a buddy of mine from high school when I was home from school. He always seemed to be lifting ungodly amounts of weight, and seeing results that I couldn't believe. I figured it was probably genetics, since we had pretty much the same diet (and nearly identical workout plans). I found out about a week ago that he was using what he called "exotic supplements", but wouldn't tell me exactly what that implied. Needless to say, he's even bigger and more cut than he was in August...I have nothing against "exotic supplements", but it can be really tough to ignore the very real and very significant gains they encourage...Just needing a little motivation to avoid this garbage (though I feel everyone is entitled to fill their body with what they wish)...

Cheers

what can be said that you don't already know. you know that bb'ing isn't for people who seek shortcuts, it's the pain, the adversity, the struggle, that shapes more than our bodys, but who we will become as individuals.

What are these exotic supps going to do to his health 20 yrs down the road? Just the fact that he doesn't want to tell you exactly what they are is reason enough to stay away...

My first thought is he isn't much of a buddy if he wouldn't tell ya what he was on....Personally...honestly is agiven in a friendship. I looked at your profile pixs...your doin awesome....sometimes we are blinded our own progress if we feel others are doing better....Rethink it man...You had the ability to achieve your progress with the sweat of your brow and your inner strength....I'll put down a major bet...in acouple of years you will be making major progress while your buddy will be looking for the next new supplement because he's 30 pounds overweigh......my 2 cents.....Stay Strong bro......Self
