Are bands and chains just a way to look cool or make a lot of noise in the gym? Or can they actually improve strength? Science seems to lean towards the latter.

Creatine HCL
Many claim that creatine HCL is more effective than creatine monohydrate but literally no evidence exists to support this claim. Monohydrate has much more evidence behind its efficacy.
Stretching and Performance
Many people add static stretching to their warm-up routine, but is this the best idea? Studies show that stretching before your workout can impair both strength and muscle activation.

Tribulus Terrestris
Tribulus Terrestris has long been marketed as a natural testosterone booster but literally no study has confirmed this assertion. Tribulus is not an effective supplement for anything bodybuilding-related.
