Doug Hepburn and APOLLON WHEELSTen things that work much better than any food supplement under the sun
1. Squats.2. Abbreviated training programs that focus on heavy duty compound exercises with barbell and dumbbells.
3. Supplementing your barbell and dumbbell work with heavy awkward objects (bags, barrels, beams etc).
4. Dropping the heaviest dumbbell you can find on the head of any self proclaimed ''weight train authority'' who tells you that ''genetics are everything.''
5. Ditto to anyone who advocates slow motion training. Twice.
6. The heavy pulling movements that Olympic lifters use...the exercises that have been building the biggest, thickest, strongest backs in the world for close to a century: power cleans, power pulls, power snatches and the clean and press.
7. The type of HEAVY dumbbell lifting detailed on my training tape, The Lost Art of Dumbbell Training.
8. A no nonsense, never say die, never give up attitude...a strength of mind and power of will that allows you to SMASH through any sort of adversity or obstacle.
9. Plenty of good, nutritious food.
10. Heavy partials to build tendon and ligament strength.
First preference for anyone should be good nutrition, supplements should come second. Making good food choice is also cost effective.
I have made 2 comparison below :
Comparison 1
Take for example, 5lbs Whey Protein costs around Rs 3500 here in India and makes 75 serving days which will last about 90 days.
At same price you can get following for 3 Months, daily
1. 5 Eggs daily each @ Rs 2 = Rs 900
2. 500 ml milk @ Rs 25 per Liter = Rs 1125
3. 100 Gm Cottage cheese @ Rs 140 per Kg= 1260
Totals comes to about Rs 3285
Comparison 2
Now Total protein content in a 5lb jar @ 23 gm per scoop = 1725 gm (based upon label, can't be sure if supplement company are screwing us here.)
1. 5 Eggs daily each @ 6gm per egg = 30 gm daily and 2700 Gm for 3 months
2. 500 ml milk @ 6.5 gm per glass = 13 gm daily and 1170 gm for 3 months
3. 100 Gm Cottage cheese @ 20gm per 100gm = 20gm daily and 1800 for 3 months.
This amounts to 63 gm daily and 5670 gm for 3 months.
Though a vague comparison but we can conclude that natural protein source is better than any supplement both quality and money wise.
I am gonna ditch whey protein from this month and concentrate on good nutrition.
