After vitamin D, magnesium is the most common nutritional deficiency in the Western world—which is potentially bad news for those of us who are trying to smash our fitness goals, since there is a strong link between magnesium and muscular performance.
If you're not performing your best when you train, you won't be getting the results you want, and while your hard work won't be for nothing exactly, your physical aesthetic and performance won't reflect your actual effort.
