strength training, supplementation asks the same question
"If a little is good then maybe more has to be better"
Supplementation and steroids started to proliferate when volume
strength training became the training system of the day. Young
strength trainees slaving in the gym for five to six days a week
was seen as normal. All this without making any progress or
putting on any size whatsoever.
