Supplementing to Supplement
Pills for Thrills
Pills for Thrills
Well, you have made it to the site and are sifting through all of the supplements we have to offer. Everyday I hear; “I want this”, “this looks good”, “I’ve read about that”, and “I gotta have this”. Now, before you empty your cart and think I am telling you not to buy, listen up.
Each day a new supplement ad comes out with for a new product or a revamped product. This ad promises everything from steroid-like gains to a freakishly ripped physique. Immediately you hop on to DS Supplements and find that supplement and buy it. Boom, you get the supplement and starting poppin’ those pills or downing the powder. Four to Six weeks later, you are on the forum upset at the world for not telling you the supplement was bunk. You nearly decide to launch a campaign against this product due to the lack of results from the product. This is understandable if you follow the proper steps of supplementing.
Supplementing is the act of aiding or adding to what is deficient or is not fully complete. When looking for a supplement, you need to decide what your purpose is for that supplement and when to supplement it. This still means that you can take the latest and greatest bulking or cutting agent, but you need to factor in when it will best supplement your goals. For example, there is a new bulking product on the market, and you want to use it now. Perfect, so before you pop the top on that supplement let’s look at some other factors. First, what does your diet look like? Is it geared towards bulking or is it geared towards cutting? Second, what does your training look like? What are your goals with the training routine you are employing? Third, what events are coming up that may interrupt your supplementation protocols? All of these questions and more, should be answered before you start taking this supplement. Some people may disagree and say that if a supplement does what it says, then you can use it whenever. Well, this is partially true. If the supplement promises size gains, then you should see some size. If it promises fat loss, you should lose fat. What the product promises should be seen in some degree, however things are not always this clear cut. I’ve seen countless people on forums talk so badly about a supplement simply because the scale did not move. If you want to worry about scale weight, I hope you need to qualify for some type of contest. Why would you sacrifice hard earned muscle just to see the number on the scale drop? We can dive into that on the forums and discuss it a little deeper (www.dssupplements.com/forum/forum.php). Whatever It is that the supplement promotes, you will want to put forth the efforts you have to aid in making sure those results happen. This does not mean lie and promote a supplement that did not work for you. This means that your diet needs to be setup and not a constant rollercoaster ride of fried chicken then plain chicken. You need to make sure your training is done when scheduled and without missed days or interruption. Proper sleep is also key to making sure you are making progress. Far too often, products fail based on lack of preparation by the user. Not all people reading this will fall into that category and if you start having hurt feelings, then it’s time to analyze your protocols prior to supplementation.
The key is making sure you don’t blame a product for its ineffectiveness if you have no organization or planning prior to supplementing. These things go beyond general supplementation because if you want to see any progress you will need some type of organization. Be sure that when you are browsing through supplements on your next order you look at each product and decide when it’s best to use that product. Why you are supplementing with that product should also play a role in your choice as well. It may seem a little odd that a supplement distributor such as DS Supplements is writing up this article, but we honestly do care. If you aren’t satisfied with your supplements, you won’t be happy. Happy customers make good spokespeople and that attitude helps you as well as the team at DS. We want you to come back here for your supplement needs and we want you to be satisfied with your purchase.
We’ll see you on the forums!
