Tagamet For Heartburn

QUESTION: I’m 260 pounds of solid beef. You get in my way, I’ll throw you off a dock like a tuna fish! I’m gonna one day be an IFBB Pro! My diet is clean but I sometimes get heartburn. I take Tagamet HB but I'm told it may interfere with muscle building? Is this true?

ANSWER: You may wanna stop taking Tagamet especially before you train cuz its making you a girly man! That’s right, even though Tagamet may help with the heartburn and acid indigestion, it may lower testosterone levels! And as a bodybuilder, you’re gonna need maximum testosterone playa! You know what else can make you a girly man? Stevia and Soy! That’s right, stevia the natural sweetener also coming as Truvia and Sweetleaf, may lower testosterone levels. At least that’s what the animal research is showing but you just can’t be playin’ with a man’s well err “manhood”! Wait that just didn’t sound right! Soy can also be really estrogenic. So drop the tofu and soy milk and step away from the Whole Foods juice bar!
