Today we return to the supplement-driven Ironmagazine and their writer Matt Weik, who might have the worst track-record in history of fitness writers.

The really hilarious part is that they, following the post-2020 absurd trend, have added a “fact checked” claim on the article. Well, let’s see about that.
