95 cents
Is that a great buy for an empty plastic bottle?
Or would it be a better buy for .05 cents to get an ice cold full one? Is it worth the extra money?
I would think we all agree it is worth it right?
Or about this... is it worth $28 to get be allowed to sit down and look at this?
I mean, it's a nice plate and silverware right? It's nice to look at for a while before the waiter takes it away.
Would you pay $28 just for the opportunity to sit and admire it? No?
How about for $2 more, it came with a Porterhouse steak, potato, mixed greens and beverage. Would you be willing to pay an extra $2 more for that? I would definitely do that.
Here's another one... Would you pay $8 for this...
It's nice. Yeah, it generally only costs a quarter at the most everywhere else. But the question here is would you pay $8 for this one? No?
How about $9. Would you pay that? If it were filled with legit Schering primo? Would it be worth the $9 then?
Ok... this is all to make you stop and think for a minute. Consider where your money is REALLY going when you purchase things. Have you ever thought about how much the discarded, disposable pieces of a product that you purchase are accounting for the overall cost? Seriously. If the part of the product you threw away cost more than the product itself, would you still buy it? This is a very simple yes or no question.
So with that in mind.. here we go for the last one.
Would you pay $2.75 for this....
A bright shiny empty candy bar wrapper? No? Ok, what about for a quarter more, you could spend $3 and get the same wrapper with a nice sugar filled treat inside? Would that be worth it? No?
No? You wouldn't? Gee, you are a tough customer aren't you? Ok, suppose I told that inside this wrapper the extra .25 cents you were spending were for a product that helped you build muscle, lose fat, replaced a nutritious meal, was all natural, and your favorite pro - who was in the ads - achieved his level of performance because of it. Would that be enough to persuade you to spend $2.75 on just the wrapper itself with a genetic food miracle inside? Would you do it then?
No? Why not? Could it be that no such product of that nature exists that will cost a quarter? Such a product would cost more than the wrapper wouldn't you think?
Ok to explain why I made this post on the AAS forum. It is a bit out of frustration actually. I come on here week after week, year after year, and read (but hardly post at times - my bad) posts that simply AMAZE me concerning the level of details that people go to when they plan out their cycles. 4-5 compounds, juggling weeks when to switch out, AIs debate on which to use, when to use, how long to use, PCT theories, etc...
The details are just amazing... but yet despite all that they turn around and coast through the other 50% of the equation and that is in regards to nutrition by putting crappy ass protein bars in their mouths.
Guys spend hundreds of dollars on AAS, take enormous legal risks in obtaining and using them, risking alienating family, friends, wives, girlfriends, by using them in secret, spend hundreds of hours in the gym working on their bodies, and every day of the week is spent experiencing pain and soreness in thrashed body parts. Which is all wasted when you let crappy ass supplements that take you a step back from your goals and further away from the claims they actually make on their labels.
For those of you who PM me for cycle and training advice and never get a detailed answer, or worse, no answer at all. This is why. Nothing I tell you is going to overcome the crap you are feeding yourself with the candy bars.
So in short the CLIFF NOTES version of this post is I still can't understand why people do this when the alternative that is available to you here with Needtos Protein Bars is much better. Everything that a protein bar is supposed to be - nutritious (none of this fake shit and sugars or collagen in there), convenient (because we can't all sit down with a hot meal 6-7 times a day), and priced right. You don't get a fancy wrapper that costs more than the product, but then again you said you didn't want it.
For real guys, AAS should be the LAST option you start experimenting with AFTER you have shored up your diet and really understand what you are giving your body to work with. If you were to eliminate as much processed crap from your diet that you possibly can, you would clean out your system and your body would respond by dropping some bodyfat and water, which you will see that only ENHANCES the effects that AAS have on you. And you could get away with using smaller doses as well. In addition to avoiding placing extra stress and conflict on your system by incorporating AIs in order to combat bloat (which is NOT what they should be used for.)
Ok, my rant is over.
