What do you guys think? I agree Creatine to me is a waste of money, I think Whey works helps get the extra quick digesting protein in especially since eating full meals takes time to digest.
Hemsworth is natural and you can tell by his traps he doesn't have the bulging traps that are a sign of steroid usage.
Supplements offer only small benefits at best compared to diet and exercise
Zocchi said people over rely on products like protein shakes or creatine to build muscle and burn fat.
"People think things like protein shakes and creatine make a big difference, but that's only about 5% of the equation," Zocchi said.
Creatine, BCAAs, and similar products can give you an edge, but only if you've already nailed down the basics of eating well and working out consistently.
There's also nothing magical about protein shakes, the main advantage of which is to provide concentrated nutrients to help round out your diet if you can't get enough from whole foods.
For Hemsworth's 4,500 calorie a day bulking plan, that can be helpful, but it's a small portion of his overall training and diet.
And for the average person who isn't eating 4,500 calories, supplements are significantly less important than high-quality food and regular gym sessions.
"It's dialing in the basics and sticking to the program to get results," Zocchi said.
It can also be difficult to know what you're getting in supplements since they don't need to be FDA approved, so products may contain fillers, unreliable doses, or ingredients not on the label.
