Why do I see trainers pushing supplements on people fresh off the couch?

People who dont need anything, yes it would suck pushing supps on them, but I was running of your own example.

But 85% of people I train could do with some supps.

Hey Pianomahnn, which X-Sport is it? I go to the one at Belmont/Ashland and I see it all the time. I worked with a great trainer there and made some big improvements but it just got too expensive. He did try to get me to buy stuff like Lipidex and the X-Sport brand protein/MRPs but he was cool enough to get me a big discount on them. I was already using the protein/MRPs so I figured he might as well get the commission.

The other thing that cracks me up is when I see the out-of-shape trainers training out-of-shape newbies. Why would I want to train with you if you can't even train yourself to get into shape???
