Discount supplements
Don’t buy discount home gyms, don’t buy discount supplements. Simply buy supplements. There are two reasons for that. First: the quality of the products. Second: “discount supplements” is a marketing gimmick. They write: $40, than they cross out 40 and write $29.99, and then add at the end “You save over $10!” Bullshit.

It’s simple. The price of the product was $30 all along, all the rest was just annoying marketing. It doesn’t mean that on the sites with so called discount supplements one can’t find good products. Of course one can. But when a salesman tells you “I have some discount supplements for you” it never means “My product is cheaper than the product of competitors.” So simply buy supplements, if you need them. And of course you need them if you exercise at a fitness gym, not in a yoga studio. I do both because I’m schizophrenic, but I don’t advise anyone follow my schizophrenia.
Holland and Barret has about 288 supplements online, Discount Supplements .ie (where’s .ie by the way? Ireland?) has a very good website. I mention it because for some reason most of these retailers and resellers have such bad web design that you never know where to click, what to buy or why. Best Price Nutrition has a very useful search tool (some other retailers have it also) which allows you to search supplements (or cheap supplements if you wish) by the goal for which they will be used. Small difference between “I weigh 55 kgs” and “I have 112 kgs of fat”. Discount Supplements dot com is probably the biggest one. If you are in the UK, visit discount-supplements dot you know what. And if you like natural supplements you can always buy some oranges or green tea in tablets or powder on Purity Products. What’s so funny? Oranges in tablets? For me it’s funny, but I doubt many of you live in the orange belt of Southern Spain. I do. As you know I’m a total beginner on the subject of supplements. I simply take additional protein at the moment. I don’t like steroid type supplements. Probably because I’ve read too much about losing ones sex drive. I prefer less body mass, less muscles and more sexual satisfaction. But I’m not you. If you’re a steroid addict looking for Viagra there are also some discount supplements of this kind on some sites mentioned above. There are, of course, plenty of cheap supplements and websites dedicated to weight loss. There’s a real labyrinth of opinions, marketing tricks, shamans, and lots of wishful thinking. Weight loss is a complex issue. This is not an adequate site to analyze this problem. I just want to post some brief info about a website I found that seems more serious than many others. The site is simply Tony Robbins dot com. There you’ll find much more than a product for weight loss. A nutritional supplement is only part of a strategy for a vital life. If you need something less complex but that helps with weight loss problems as well, you can always visit Primal Nutrition. They offer a discount supplement called Responsibly Slim.
Let’s focus on the main subject: bodybuilding and protein supplements. Here, I offer some useful links to the retailer’s websites. I’ll write about some of these supplements in the next post. Here are just the links. The first one is simply Body Building dot com. Apart from hundreds (thousands maybe?) discount supplements, cheap supplements, bodybuilding supplements, bsn on line supplements and all you need to know about them, there are two interesting things on their site: blogs and photo galleries.Photo galleries are divided by age and category. Some of the pictures of women around 50 are just unbelievable. So one has to believe. I’m not sure if they had a lot of babies, doesn’t look like it. What’s your opinion? On the Quest Protein Bar site I’ve found something amazing – bodybuilding supplement in the form of a protein bar.

I highly recommend this product because it’s so simple, and the flavors are so good: vanilla, almonds, peanuts… I’d buy it right now, and I regret that at the moment I’m on the other side of the globe. I don’t think they can send it to Andaman Islands. I’ll order them when I get back. The third and last company I recommend is E Vitamins. They have a lot of products for bodybuilding of course, however, this is not the reason why I like them. I like them because they have a very good slogan on their home page. Perhaps this is the best slogan I’ve read on all bodybuilding supplements or fitness websites ever. Here it is: “Be an animal”. I’ll be, I promise. Just give me the right protein supplements and show some perfectly shaped legs and I’ll do my best as an animal. Does “love oneself” mean “love the animal in you”?
A huge part of bodybuilding supplements consists of protein supplements. Visit any page of the company mentioned above or use one of the additional link: Supplements To Go and Zone Diet dot com. The first one is simply a big shop, protein supplements included, the second one is focused more on the people who have a tendency to eat too much rather than too little. I remember the sermon of a Buddhist monk. The sermon consisted mainly of repeating one expression, like a mantra: “Middle way, middle way, middle way…” However it’s an advice for fans of pilates machines rather than a bodybuilder in front of his exercise wall mirror.
In conclusion, some general information about sports nutrition and sports cheap supplements. What’s the main difference between nutrition of sport addicts and sitting and doing nothing addicts? The history of the answer to this question is as long as history itself. The legendary winner of five consecutive Olympic Games in Greece, Milo of Kroton, ate 9 kgs of meat a day and drank 8 liters of wine. I’m a little bit confused about it. I mean 8 lts of wine seems ok for me, but 9 kgs of meat? I know, on every site you read: chicken, chicken, chicken. Eat chicken. Personally I don’t like chicken. Has no taste, it’s rather childish nutrition. So 9 kgs of chicken is definitely not for me. But if we consider a roasted leg of lamb, than this is an option to consider. As I’ve written in my first post, I come from a village in Eastern Europe, so I like simple, true things. All this clean, pseudo scientific, politically correct marketing of today’s sports nutrition seems to me a gigantic air balloon. One just needs a short, sharp needle and all these false smiling faces on the sports supplements ads disappear. However I live today, not in ancient Greece but in the center of a Californian metropolis, so I have to face things as they are.

The goal is clear: sports nutrition has to enhance one’s performance in strength, endurance, quickness, mobility, general health and the bodies capacity of recovery. The main types of sports supplements are: vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, proteins and sugars. I’ll write about each of these in more detail in a subsequent post. Now it’s a time for my first exercise after a serious illness. On my home gym machines? No, i’m going to take my first walk in two months. Seems funny? Nothing to laugh about, really.
