Great video man. Spot on assessment of our drink as well.

I love Derek from MPMD, I would sacrifice myself just to have his supraphysiological efficacious dose of knowledge in the afterlife.

If an “influencer” of any type is marketing something, it just makes me want to NOT buy it even more

Still waiting on the Liver King x Dwayne Johnson collab for a liver-flavoured energy drink with 15% raw liver juice in the can.

This video perfectly summarizes my love for Eugene. Simple, plain, transparent, and true to the work. The amount of encouragement and motivation we all get from youtubers like Eugene is tremendous.

Fortunately for me, no matter how much I like an “influencer”, the concept of purchasing a product endorsed or produced by an “influencer” cringes me out so much that I’m immune to any marketing they force upon me.

20 years of training never had a pre-workout or energy drink , teenagers these days they need everything and still they can’t get in shape and they blame supplements .

You talk about keeping it simple and fundamental, yet you're wearing an Animals as Leaders shirt... arguably one of the most technical, complex, difficult, articulate, bands out there. Love it!

IMO most people focus on powders way too much when there are many “free” improvements to performance that can be made. I kinda cringe to see 20yo taking like 400mg of caffeine over a day, and I think a lot of people won’t actually realize the effects of fine tuning micro nutrients until they are much more advanced and hitting all the good body habits

Did you call Derek out on his turkesterone product? The dude made millions off his audience hyping a product that has very limited evidence and efficacy. Never retracted any of his bold claims either, just brushed it under the rug and moved on.

After doing a ton of research on his other products I realized Derek is totally legit. Still wouldn't spend a bunch on energy drinks, but his supplements seem head and shoulders over anything else on the market. For the preworkout I actually priced out all the ingredients in bulk and it would barely be any cheaper

You’re killing it with these videos Eugene.

"We can't just take the fact that research exist on a topic to mean that it's good."

This is THE transparency we need in the fitness industry. PHENOMENAL BREAKDOWN with an unbiased POV. Also you are the ONLY content creator I’ve seen that have turned down so many brand deals that might ultimately put more food on your table and it’s truly an admirable and inspiring part of who you are as a coach! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Eugene I’ve been doing this for years but no one has ever posted a video on this topic or discussed it in detail like you have. You are a blessing!

honestly the more aggressive the marketing, especially if they use "celeberity" endorsements, the further I stay away from the product. Good products are not pushed on your face, you go to them

Great video Eugene! THanks for sharing and educating everyone. You offer an excellent approach for people to understand what is inside the supplements that they consume.

This is one of the best videos that everyone needs to watch because it actually teaches people how to do something that humanity has forgotten to do…..Thinking critically. Fantastic video!

I love your channel and the content you bring to the entire KZread community. Thank you.

The fact that you turned down a sponsor on camera… you’re the best of us man
