Support gear, and PED's, IMHO are for competition.
I stick with compound lifts, and some unorthodox shit like splitting cords of firewood. For decades I've read up on some of the old time strongmen/lifters. Louis Cyr, Paul Anderson, Joe Greenstein. They trained hard and ate well. Their training regimes were incredibly simple. I believe we have a tendency to overthink the training. The latest greatest gear is bigger and better than last year.
With the fitness industry worth billions, per year, it's easy to get swept up in the chrome and mirrors aspect.
