Since we're all a bunch of active tankies over here, I wanted to discuss the usage of supplements.

In Belgium/The Netherlands the majority of the fitfluencers have convinced their young audience that you won't be able to get ripped if you don't take their 40 euro pre workout filled with near lethal amounts of caffeine.

Of course, you don't need to take all these things in order to improve your physical health. I myself, for example, quit using supplements apart from some vitamin B and calcium supplements (mainly because I eat plant based food and you tend to get shortages of these two things faster). I used to take (vegan) protein shakes for a while but they always upset my stomach and I figured I might as well get my nutrients from food alone.

What kind of, if any, supplements do you take? And how does it benefit you?

A place where comrades can

(1) discuss how best to optimize their physical health and develop “Iron Proletarian Discipline” in a healthy and holistic manner. Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,

(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and

(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.

Rule:

Approach every conversation in good faith.
