Suggested post on facebook so had a read. Obviously dwayne johnson hasn't used it but are the ingredients used any good? Ive heard of horny goat weed before and tribulus obviously

Lot of BS there. The Lean Muscle X thing has some real stuff in - creatine and various amino acids, but there's noting particularly revolutionary in either product.

Some of the claims are very suspect, the say "Test Force Extreme is one of the most concentrated and purest creatine products on the market." They also say Lean Muscle X is a fat burner... but Lean Muscle X is definitely largely creatine from it's own marketing material. So it seems like they're taking creatine with more creatine and ascribing many properties to it that it doesn't have.

Frankly the whole thing looks like a scam.

That's what I thought. Facebook really shouldn't allow ads like these

I ordered the trail where you pay £1.99 for postage and the products came a couple of days ago. I haven't started using them yet so can't comment on whether they actually work or not. I ordered them based on the mens health article and was viewing it on my Iphone so hadn't noticed it wasn't the real mens health. Anyway I had a call from my banks fraud prevention team this morning and the company who supply these this morning tried to debit £84 from my account several times. I have no idea why they are trying to make this charge other than the whole thing being a SCAM to defraud people! I guess getting people to hand over £1.99 for postage for a trail is an easy way to get loads of card numbers. I've had to cancel my card and I think the actual products are going to go in the bin! If this is a scam then god knows what is really in this product!! When they arrived there was a bit of paper in the envolope with some customer help phone numbers but no address information. I thought it was a bit weird then.
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!

Follow The Rock on Twitter and you'll see that if there was wonder drugs he wouldn't have to get up at 3am and do crazy workouts lol
The guy is a dedicated machine.

I clicked the link and too be fair and read the website only as the popular Mens Health.

The Rock uses a tonne of anabolics. That is a scam of the highest order. No products significantly add muscle/burn fat unless they are illegal and or steroids.

Don't order it unless you want to pay silly money. I got the trial then was charged for the goods at £84-71 each but only realised after credit card statement came, and low and behold a further 2 payments of £89-66. I only realised there was going to be a shipment to me after an email. I cancelled the order immediately but they had already taken payment. AND I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY GOODS.

I contacted the London number which then patched me through to India, where a man with a very Indian accent called Steven!!!!! only offered me £45 refund. I have since managed to get the two latest payments back or so the email states - It remains to be seen.

Total con, all they stated top me was that I had signed the Terms and Conditions and the original payments stand. My advice don't buy anything from them and read terms and conditions on offers. Once bitten as they say.

To be fair its quite obvious the Rock is 'enhanced' that's no natural body regardless of the training schedule.

Still he's highly impressive and there's no doubting the effort levels to achieve that.

Test force xtreme/Lean Muscle X is not a free trial read the terms. YOU WILL BE CHARGED €/$/£85 AFTER FOURTEEN DAYS THEN AGAIN EVERY MONTH. This is a con whether the product works or not.

I reckon he'd be quite skinny without the juice. How predictable another walking chemistry set..
