“According to a recent study, professional bodybuilders who used Train & Gain, a new protein supplement, over the course of three months experienced an increase in measured strength of up to 20%. Since Train & Gain is now available without prescription at all major pharmacies, superior results are no longer limited to professional athletes. Try Train & Gain today and you too can boost your strength and achieve professional-level performance in just a few months.”
In the argument that the consumption of protein supplement Train & Gain boosts an individual's strength and helps him/her in achieving professional-level performance in just a few months, the line of reasoning followed is persuasive but contains a number of flaws. It faces the problem of taking into consideration only a small frame of time and assumption that the use of Train & Grain is the only reason for increased strength in the sample of bodybuilders taken in the study.
Firstly, the argument assumes that consumption of the new protein supplement Train & Grain is the primary reason for the increase in strength of bodybuilders. There could be a number of other factors which led to an increase in the strength. For instance, the bodybuilders may have started exercising more during the last 3 months, putting in extra efforts that resulted in an increase of strength and stamina. Furthermore, the bodybuilders could be using some other protein supplement which may be responsible for the increase in strength.
Secondly, the study indicates that increase in strength of bodybuilders was upto 20%. Now, for example, there could be only 1 bodybuilder who managed an increase of 20% while others had a minor increase or in fact maybe a decrease in their strength. So, the speaker assumes that anybody who takes Train & Grain will have increased strength.
Thirdly, the argument relates an increase in strength directly with the professional-level performance of the bodybuilder. There are many more things, such as technique and experience, that can be attributed to a superior performance in bodybuilding.
In conclusion, the argument is neither perfect nor convincing as there are a number of flaws in the reasoning presented. If the above mentioned points are taken into consideration, the argument will be more strong and persuasive.
