Marketing is crazy right now and every new supplement promises insane results. What’s one product you bought that ended up doing absolutely nothing for you?

Honestly, most test boosters fall into this category for me. Tried a couple big-name ones, felt nothing different except a lighter wallet. Sleep, food and training mattered way more.

BCAAs for sure. Once I started actually eating enough protein, they became pointless. Cool flavors, zero noticeable benefit.

Any “hardcore fat burner” that’s basically just caffeine and yohimbine. You feel wired for a week, then nothing. Not worth the side effects.

Turkesterone hype got me. Everyone online swore it was game-changing, but I ran it for two months and lifts didn’t move at all.

Pre-workouts with 30+ ingredients sound impressive but hit weaker than a simple caffeine + pump formula. A lot of filler just to justify the price.

Glutamine back in the day. Took it religiously because magazines pushed it hard. Zero difference in recovery compared to when I dropped it.
