Since we’re all a bunch of active tankies over here, I wanted to discuss the usage of supplements.
In Belgium/The Netherlands the majority of the fitfluencers have convinced their young audience that you won’t be able to get ripped if you don’t take their 40 euro pre workout filled with near lethal amounts of caffeine.
Of course, you don’t need to take all these things in order to improve your physical health. I myself, for example, quit using supplements apart from some vitamin B and calcium supplements (mainly because I eat plant based food and you tend to get shortages of these two things faster). I used to take (vegan) protein shakes for a while but they always upset my stomach and I figured I might as well get my nutrients from food alone.
What kind of, if any, supplements do you take? And how does it benefit you?

Oh man. I remember when I just started training at the gym and this got banned (?) not long before that. I had all kinds of people wanting to sell me this stuff saying it was banned because it was ‘too good’. Scum.

Perks of growing up in an extremely sketchy town. Drugs, steroids, whatever, it’s everywhere there.
I know how amphetamines feel, I can see why you’d be able to boost your performance with it, but never in my life would I dare to take amphetamines before going to the gym lol. My heart is getting scared just thinking about it.

Nope, I’ve always been natty (no, mom, creatin and protein shakes are not steroids). Not judging people who do gear, just not for me.
