For men, the burden to look great has been building over the last decade, says Charlie Pickering. But if you’re a guy who’s currently in the process of ‘getting ripped’, Charlie wants to have a word with you.

In this week’s instalment of The WeeklyPickering took aim at the $389million whey protein industry. Highlighting that the workout supplements can actually lead to significant health issues, like liver damage.

But as Charlie says, “losing a liver means does mean more room for abs…”.

What’s your take on gym fanatics and their many supplements?
