Team ANR: More Supplement Hype

OK, it's time for me to call out TEAMANR.com (Applied Nutrional Research). I'm sick and tired of all their annoying ads in google (I have blocked them in my adsense). And the claims they make on their website: "700% More Muscle," "20 lb of Muscle in 30 Days" . . . give me a break! TeamANR, aka Applied Nutritional Research, represents everything that is wrong with the supplement industry.

Let me show you what you'll find on their website:

There's the Monster Mix, which claims to put on 20lb of muscle in 30 days. This claim is ridiculous. A new trainee may be able to put on that much muscle in three months (Vince Delmonte put on about 40 lb in six months). But one month? This wreaks of bull manure.

Even guys doing steroids usually don't get that big, that fast (close, but not quite--based on what I've read, a first-time steroid user can expect a gain of 15-20 lb on his first cycle, which would last a minimum of six weeks).

Monster Mix proudly lists :Deer Antler Velvet" as an ingredient. Just in case that doesn't insult your intelligence, HMB is also listed (HMB is one of the biggest supplement flops of the 90's).

Then there's Cis-9-Trans-11, a "rare plant extract." We are supposed to believe it gives you "700% more muscle in 7 weeks" without any side effects. Let me ask you something--how can a substance make that much difference yet have no side effects?

Here's another claim the website makes: "Hour after hour, this herb will literally synthesize lean muscle tissue from your fat stores." This is impossible--muscle and fat are completely different types of tissue. One cannot "synthesize" into the other.

And let's not forget Creatine Tri-Phase we don't want any of that regular, cost-effective creatine monohydrate. We need Team ANR's super-creatine. After all, it is "three times stronger" (whatever that means).

NOTE: If you really want to gain muscle, I'd check out Vince Delmonte's No Nonsense Muscle Building.
