BodyBuilding Revealed Quiz

The questions in the BBR Quiz are directly relevant to your success gaining muscle and or strength, and they come directly from my ebook Bodybuilding Revealed. They are directly relevant to the “real world” knowledge required to obtain your goals along the continuum discussed in the article Knowledge is Power. The quiz is not very long, but gives a solid sample of what people should know if they wish to be informed and educated about nutrition and supplements as it applies to the goals listed in the continuum. Take note, I have put these quizzes on my forums and most members could answer most of them, so they are not designed to simply make people feel ignorant. They are designed to be challenging, and let people test their knowledge of the topic; topics which will ultimately help them obtain their goals. Are you ready? The answer key is at the end after the quiz so you can score yourself!
