If you are buying it from a high street health food store then you are probably pretty safe, If it's from some bloke in a gym, then steer clear.
LOL. There is a HUGE HUGE difference between supplements and gear mate.
icemann, you won't get anything illegal unless you go looking for it and you will
know.
FYI, steroids are
legal in this country
for a civilian, something people often overlook.
As for supps, depends on your goals. A lot of people thing they can walk into Holland & Barrett and pick up "Protein Powder 5000" and get
hench as f-ck in 3 weeks of bicep curls, diet coke and multivitamins (I know, I was the same once!).
Gaining weight is an energy balance; cals in > cals out = weight gain and vice versa. If your diet is a crock of sh!t then smashing 300g of protein powder down your neck aimlessly is simply a waste of money.
An appreciation of diet and how it affects your body and training is your first step, then see how applying supplements can help that.
If somebody mentions steroids and protein shakes in the same sentence, they are a f-cking clown and should be ignored!
