Overrated/Underrated: Creatine, Chin-Ups, Counting Calories, & More

Posted by Jason Ferruggia

Creatine was once one of the most overrated supplements in existence.  

But is that still the case? 

What about the countless other supplements, concepts, and methods in training and nutrition?

At times it can be hard to tell the real from the fake.

Let’s clear some of that up today.

You guys sent in your topics, and I’m here with my take on whether these (and many more) are overrated or underrated: 

  • Cheat meals? [8:51]
