hey.. James here.. Lil about me- I'm a hardgainer standing at 6'2 who started at about 135 lbs... I remember for the longest time it seemed almost as if my body refused to allow me to gain much if any muscle mass whatsoever.. I probably spent about 4-5 months of frivelous weight training every other day trying to build muscle to pretty much no avail.. Eventually I came across the muscle building program at (LINK DELETED).. which I'm sure many of you also have and had similar success as I've had with it. After being on the program for a little while now I've finally seen massive progress and am currently at 165 lbs .. added 30 lbs of muscle in a relatively short amount of time. But my question is, as I'm sure many of you who are doing Vince's program know.. he doesn't exactly endorse any muscle building supplements and believes they are basically useless and way over-hyped. Now, although I've already had massive success with his program and trust his advice.. I find it hard to believe that there isn't ANY effective supplement out there which can promote significant muscle gain. I know first hand that most are bogus and give fraudulent claims.. but I know there has to be SOMETHING out there which really works. Am I wrong in this assumption? Have any of you experienced significant added results with the help of a muscle growth promoting supplement?? Any advice / comments / suggestions would be much appreciated.. and I'm not interested in any narcotic steroids either.. thanks!

no he's right, supplements are 99% garbage. there has yet to be any controlled double blind study that shows most supplements giving increased gains vs placebo. The one exception to this is creatine however, and hence why i didn't say 100%. Creatine in double blind studies does show increased gains vs placebo for a good portion of the population tested.

#1 rule to gaining muscle. This especially applies to hard gainers. This rule is:
EAT!!!!!!!! Then EAT MORE!

You can have the best routine on earth, if you're not getting the calories in, you're not gaining. period. Thats why supplements can give the illusion of working. mass gainers for example. 1 serving is like 900 calories. Well add that to your regular diet and ya, that just might be enough to put you over the edge to start gaining. But realistically, it's not the mass gainer in itself thats promoting muscle growth, it's that you finally starting eating enough. You could have gotten the same (or better) effect simply by eating more to begin with...

Moral of the story, top anabolic you can possibly hope to buy for solid dependable mass gain is: real food.
 
thanks ... that's what vince says too.. it's all about the food! Just out of curiosity.. does this "food food food" concept only apply to hardgainers or are supplements overall useless?
