It’s Charity Week at Legion – Will You Help?

I don’t know about you, but I believe the world can never have enough heroes. These are the people who give us everything that’s beautiful, good, and real. I also believe that every one of us can be a hero, and that it’s far easier than many people believe. How? Well, how do heroes behave?  Heroes don’t gripe about things that should change or simply “feel bad” for people who need help. They do something about it. While I don’t consider myself a hero per se, that’s why I started this company—to create the change I wanted to see in the sports supplements industry—and that’s why I have a “Charity Week.” The idea here is very simple: Every quarter, I donate a portion of a week’s worth of Legion’s sales to a top-ranked charity that resonates with me and my team.  There’s no cap on the donations either, so the more we sell, the more we give.

8 Evidence-Based Ways to Tell If Some is “Natty” or Not

Steroid use is rampant in the fitness space. But because of the societal stigma surrounding steroids, most “roiders” lie about their drug use.  And while this deception seems insignificant, in many cases, it’s not. The “ steroids vs natural ” debate matters because many “fake” naturals use their physiques to gain followers and sell pills, powders, and PDFs. Not only is this fundamentally dishonest, but it skews people’s expectations about what’s achievable with their own physique, which often begins a frustrating, disappointing, and dysfunctional relationship with weightlifting. Because let’s face it: no matter your genetics or how hard you train, when it’s natural vs steroids , steroids win every time. That’s why it’s worth knowing how to spot a fake “natty,” and why I’ve created a guide highlighting the steroids vs natural discussion. In it, you’ll learn what natty means in the gym , 8 evidence-based ways to tell if someone is taking (or has taken steroids), and more.
