BLUE RIBBON: SNAC-Pak by SNAC

Victor Conte is one of the most intelligent supplement product innovators of all time and is credited with introducing the very popular ZMA to bodybuilding and athletics.
Now Victor has released his revolutionary SNAC PAK. SNAC PAK is an innovative ‘3 bottle stack’. The SNAC PAK was designed to enhance performance of men and women, everyday fitness enthusiasts and world-class athletes. Many elite Olympic and professional athletes achieved historic accomplishments with SNAC PAK, as an integral part of their daily regimens.
The SNAC PAK includes three great products including Vitalyze, Aerobitine and Victor’s flagship product ZMA. Vitalyz is called the mental and physical performance enhancer. It jacks up energy, mental alertness, elevates mood, and enhances concentration and reaction time. Vitalyze fights stress and increases physical work capacity by improving muscular oxygen utilization.Vitalyze helps to maintain the integrity and strength of tendons, ligaments, and all connective tissues.
Scientists call arobitine the ultimate anti-fatigue and fat loss support formula. It reduces fatigue and promotes stamina, strength and endurance. Aerobitine contains both L-arginine and L-citrulline malate. It also has folic acid, which aids in the production of nitric oxide.
In addition, Aerobitine contains a complete anti-oxidant defense team of nutrients. These effectively “quench” free radicals. Aerobitine provides a wide range of performance enhancing benefits while popular nitric oxides do not!
What about he original ZMA? It’s here! ZMA is a proprietary anabolic mineral support formula, the first developed specificallyto enhance recovery by improving sleep. ZMA promotes deep, restful sleep. It restores exercise tolerance which is decreased by sleep deprivation. This advanced formulation significantly improves muscle strength and endurance as well as accelerates healing and tissue repair. (A University research study also found that ZMA significantly increases testosterone levels in trained athletes.)
SNAC PAK is the absolute in energy, fat loss and recovery and is available at Bodybuilding.com, Prosource and BOSS. To order, call 800-697-2086 or go to

BLUE RIBBON: Dren by MHP

DREN, or drenbuterol, is a totally new, state of theart, mesolimbic beta-agonist, fat-burning compound! It’s a mouthful yes, but Dren is so revolutionary and effective because it belongs to a powerful class of scientific compounds, called mesolimbic beta-agonists. These have extremely powerful fat burning and even euphoric activities. (Limbichas to do with the limbic system of the brain, so important in emotion and behavior).
Drenbuterol is patent-pending. It is medically and scientifically formulated, to stimulate both metabolic and mesolimbic body/brain pathways, for extreme thermogenic fat-burning and neurotropic “feel good” sensory sensations.
Each DREN capsule yields a maximum 409mg dose ofactive drenbuterol. It must be administered just once daily and not be used with other stimulants. When taken as it's directed, DREN will help stimulate all the bodies heat-creating, (thermogenic), triglyceride oxidizing (fat-burning) processes, and it increases energy, suppresses appetite and will illicit a state of heightened mental euphoria. Do not consume more than 1 capsule in a 12-hour period.
Available at GNC, Vitamin Shoppes, Bodybuilding.com and AveragJoesSupplements.com. Call 888-783-8844 or go to

BLUE RIBBON: Element by SAN
Element is a new glycogen, high carb, super-compensation, repair and restoration, and energy compound. (Glycogen is the form, in which the body stores glucose for energy in muscle and in the liver).
Element has a super high molecular weight, starch base of multiple-chain carbohydrates.
It is designed with amylopectin potato complex starch. It is engineered bya special process designed to bring carbohydrate into an easily and readily mixable form. Element is virtually tasteless and quickly disperses in water. This makes it a much welcomed addition to assist any creatine, protein, branched chain amino acid, or cell volume supplement.Element passes through the GI tract (stomach and intestine) much easier and faster than dextrose and maltodextrin. By doing so, it creates a natural osmotic vacuum which shuttles water and muscle-building nutrients directly into muscle tissue. Element is able to directly bypass GI tract digestion processes. As an unsurpassed source of glycogen, Element works amazingly fast (again, much faster than dextrose). It is crucial for a pre-workout mix, or for any competition or event high carb-up phase, without excess storage and spill over of water in the gut. There is no bloat, puffiness or diminished definition with Element.

BLUE RIBBON: ULTIMATE SEXUAL STACK by Goliath Labs

Ejaculoid, Tribuloid and Stimuloid together, have becomeAmerica’s #1 hardcore, (best) sexual enhancement stack, or sex combo, for men.
This powerful sex-enhancement triad has won more awards, honors and recognition, from more certifying groups, than any other companies making such libido-building, performance supplements, for men. These three products, from Goliath Labs, address all the male sexual functioning needs. Its scientific (and expensive) ingredients really do something!
First, Ejaculoid is a major semen-volumizing, libido-enhancer that works wonders. It gives you so much semen that you feel as if you’re one of those super-stud, sex movie and video stars. In fact, Goliath Labs has many top male video star studs using this powerful sex stack. The stack is the top selling sex product on most major sales lists and our voluminous pro-Gina Ostarly, pro-Goliath sexual stack ads, back this all up.
Tribuloid helps keep (and restore) your natural testosterone levels. It decreases estrogen. Both act to give you stronger muscles, more libido and overall energy & vitality. It is stimulant-free. It’s all natural, but even helps give users steroid-like strength increases.
Stimuloid has yohimbine, pycnogenol, L-arginine and many more powerhouse ingredients, all proven to improve blood flow. This leads to stronger, longer-lasting erections and “staying” power. (Stimuloid is available at select GNC stores).
BLUE RIBBON: Adrenaline by Genera Supplements

Adrenaline is a new pharmaceutical-strength, fat-burning agent. It produces insane energy, without any post-use energy crash. Adrenaline (from Genera) is on the cutting-edge of fat loss and increasing energy, with the most promising fat loss ingredient, since ephedrine.
This ingredient is the centerpiece of Adrenaline and it is Geranium Oil. This is an adrenaline-like compound with energy producing effects that are super strong. It will be the ephedra replacement. Geranium Oil affects biological pathways, producing potent appetite suppressant and thermogenic actions. It also acts as a powerful pre-workout energy booster.
Adrenaline isfast becoming the supplement of choice for real energy andfat loss, among hardcore bodybuilders and athletes. Adrenaline includes a concentrated dose of ‘feel-good energizer’ PEA, the same stuff that produces the feel good magic effect, from rich, pure chocolate. Adrenaline drastically increases energy so much, it is on par with ephedrine. Adrenaline works to burn fat by escalating the chemical messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP). This triggers fatty acid release from adipose tissue. It also causes better mental focus and concentration. Besides increasing performance, strength, mood and sense of well being, Adrenaline safely assists appetite suppression, again all of this, with tremendous energy, with ZERO crashing or side effects.
Genera Supplements prides itself in pharmaceutical grade quality products and Adrenaline contains 400% more active ingredients than any other comparable product. It truly represents 100% maximum value.
In fact, Genera offers a 100% money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied. That’s how confident Genera is with Adrenaline. Take advantage. Buy 2 and get 1 FREE.
BLUE RIBBON: PowerFULL by USP Labs
This is a natural growth hormone releasing agent that works incredibly well. It is backed by many new scientific studies to show you how well.
There have been years of “wanna-be” natural somatropin (GH -growth hormone), products that have done nothing to increase GH, as unfortunately, the product ingredients get destroyed by the GI tract’s acid medium, and because the polypeptide structure is too large to be absorbed. Thus, the ingredients never made the first pass through the liver and small intestine and into the general blood stream to muscle. On the other hand, USP Labs PowerFULL ingredients do!
Its ingredients have been scientifically proven to:
• Naturally increase growth hormone production byover 220%.
• Drastically increase libido sex drive.
• Improve skin complexion, through GH regeneration.
• Dramatically improve REM sleep.
• Increase strength and muscle size.
The engineered extract within PowerFULL is proven 100%to be safe without deleterious side effects. Athletes, bodybuilders and fitness buffs of all ages, are already experiencing the powerful benefits of PowerFULL, the one natural product that does increase GH! In the real world, users report all the clinical improvements noted above.

BLUE RIBBON: 3-Stage Hyperanabolic System by KNS
KNS (Koloseum Nutritional Sciences), has developed an amazing 3-stage hyper-anabolic system. The brain trust behind it all is bodybuilding champion Milos Sarcev. And, in fact, Milos was just named as the Chief Scientific Officer at Naturade Inc.
Insiders were not surprised as they have known for years that Milos Sarcev has one of the most insightful, experienced, and innovative minds in bodybuilding, both in advanced training concepts and in nutritional supplementation.
The KNS 3-stage concept is a unique muscle anabolism and anti-catabolism system containing the number one ranked proprietary amino acid complex in the world. It is trademarked AjiPure and AjiPure is made by the world famous Ajinomoto Co.
Ajinomoto was developing highly efficacious amino acid complexes, well over 50 years ago! They are pioneers in fermentation processes and in the use of non-animal amino acid bases, and they provides almost all amino acids for the medical community, many hospitals and many doctors, more nutritionally intelligent.
KNS has pioneered a truly revolutionary concept in natural muscle hypertrophy, taking advantage of the physiological fact of hyperemia. Hyperemia is the huge blood perfusion/congestion that occurs during and after heavy resistance bodybuilding exercise.
The KNS 3 stage hyper-anabolic system capitalizes on the huge rebound increase in blood flow, such that the perfect balance in the 3 stage system produces an enormous increase in muscle mass and strength, (when and if, you use these critical nutrients, at the right time to maximally augment the natural hyperemia process).
This 3 stage hyper-anabolic system delivers essential nutrients in the precise doses (and at the precise time), to produce the highest muscle performance. So much so -- that the gains in strength and size are explosive.
Milos notes correctly, that just ‘to start to create’ a truly anabolic state; you must first prepare both blood and muscle for the upcoming “pounding” and damaging weight training session! These workouts can be supremely catabolic to the body!The KNS amino PRELoad initiates blood saturation, packs blood with essential nutrients, while blood flow is still normal.This ensures critical nutrients and hormones will be released in the required amounts at the requisite time! This preparation is critical in determining whether your actual training will produce anabolism (muscle building) or catabolism (musclewasting). It’s really your chance, nutritionally, to guarantee muscle growth from your excruciatingly hard efforts.
The next stage, stage 2, fuels hyper anabolism andis taken during training. KNS’S Amino XXPLoad naturally increases levels of all anabolic hormones, absolutely increases blood flow, transports anabolic nutrients into the muscle cells, maximizes protein synthesis (and minimizes degradation), and it also increases muscle and systemic metabolism.
Science has shown that actual training is the critical best time, to create anabolism and inhibit catabolism. In phase 3 of the system, you take special nutrients immediately after training and this is known as Amino RELoad.
To compete the super-compensation of all anabolic nutrients for total growth, this maximizes replenishments of those valuable nutrients actually lost during the hard workout! Amino RELoad increases protein balance to the highest rate possible, ensuring the best protein synthesis and greatest inhibition of protein degradation. The KNS 3 tier hyperanabolic system truly creates the greatest positive differential pre, during and post-workout net protein balance.
Note from Jeff Everson: I agree with those who know Milos as a training and supplement expert. Milos and Milamar Sarcev have done field testing for a long time, testing elite athletes and pros, who train at Milos’s Gym in Orange County,CA, (Koloseum).CONTACT

SEAL OF CERTIFICATION: OMEGA SPORTS T-FORCE
THE NEW MASTER OFTHE MASTER HORMONE?
There is little doubt that Omega Sports Supplements is a bit of a different kind of nutritional company than those that are seen all over all of our industry trade magazines.
First, not only do they follow the Planet Muscle media lead (where we alone do not accept some advertisements), by shying away from what the FTC has mandated as illegal and over-zealous ads, suchas those advertisements that promise to add 30 lbs.of muscle to your frame in 10 days, argue the same about fat loss, or those that promise to permanently “grow” the size of an adult’s male sexual organ by anypercent, claim to alter your DNA/chromosomes and genetics, or those that may make exaggerated claims, but said advertisements never tell you what the ingredients in it are, or does the bottle have any ingredients listed on it!
Second, Omega Sports is an innovative science based entity. Indeed – it was the very first company to introduce glycerol monostearate to the bodybuilding and athletic world and this is now used in virtually every creatine and Nitric oxide product on the market.Third, they were also the first to market Celadr into bodybuilders, lifter and weight-bearing athletes, for joint pain and chronic cartilage and soft-tissue breakdown mitigation.Fourth, Omega Sports was the first company to bringa sulbutiamine-based stimulant product to market.Fifth, just some months ago, Omega pioneered theuse of engineered designer carbohydrates and they added this macro-nutrient real energy powerhouse into what is now, both a pre and post workout product-- known as Omega ONE.Recently, the ground breaking company, one thathas rapidly found favor with power athletes, endurance athletes, bodybuilders, and even recreational fitness enthusiasts of both sexes, and all ages, has released a new herbal-based testosterone-elevating agent called T-Force.
In case, blind and double blind protocol studies, T-Force can raise (on average!) many men’s testosterone levels, by 600% plus. Yes—you read that correctly– the data suggests 600% plus. This performance hasthe potential to match and exceed commercial testosterone prescriptions.
T-Force uses a sought after and extremely rare herb, found only in parts of Africa and it is named Fadogia Agrestis. Fadogia Agrestis has been used by teachers and healers in these places with local residents for centuries. It’s a general tonic, healing agent, energizer, aphrodisiac and sexual tonic. It is now being studied more by western science.
Indeed, science foray and exploratory insights into the herb, demonstrates that its libido-altering effects are due to a direct increase in blood and tissue testosterone. It does so safely, acutely, chronically and most of all – naturally. The holy grail of bodybuilding is building muscle and losing body fat at the same time, and it is well documented that the environment of progressive and intense workouts that can accomplish thisonly succeeds, if testosterone levels are normal to high chronically.
Look- if you have been lifting weights for any period of time at all, you know how important testosterone levels are to your muscle mass, energy, vitality and strength. This master hormone is what literally makes a man a man.
The more free testosterone you have available in your body, the more muscle you can build and potentially, the more fat you can burn, the more sex you can have and, once more, the greater intellectual creativity you can affect. Testosterone is the nutrient partitioning king for more muscle and less fat.
Anabolic steroids (and testosterone) are so important that bodybuilders risk their freedoms to try and use them to muscle and strength and to lose significant fat. But, here’s the catch, almost every illegal steroid ultimately (and most quite quickly) LOWERS your natural testosterone and you have to then use, prescribed HCG and testosterone to get it back to just normal.
Look – it’s one thing to try and pack on muscle, but what good is all of that going to do you if you are sitting in jail because you got busted receiving your illegal goods? Well, you might be able to fend off a couple big ornery guys in jail, for awhile until your muscle and energy fades away.
So—good news-- T-Force represents a viable, legal alternative to steroids. That means no mystery expenseand risks, no evading laws, no possible infected contamination. Instead, T-Force is the natural athlete’sanswer to illegal testosterone-boosting drugs.Unlike too many companies, Omega Sports instead, goes the extra mile to ensure that T-Force is of the highest quality and potency. Once more, any time a company introduces a new product to the market, there are inevitably knock-off and clones to try and steal legitimacy. But, very few companies can affordto demonstrate Omega Sports dedication, science and testing, to get the highest quality products of avail.In fact, Omega works with the Nation’s leading analytical laboratory. Omega Sports has helped develop an accurate testing standard for the active ingredient, Fadogia Agrestis. What this means is that Omega Sports cares enough to shell out its own money to pre-test and test again, all of its raw materials. It ensures quality.
Before Omega partnered with the lab, no test was available to see if any product actually contained Fadogia Agrestsis. If you want a contest, science says that T-Force is clearly an undisputed winner in any herbal testosterone-boosting category. Omega backs this and all its products with sound science and real-world feedback. Serious athletes and bodybuilders, looking to maximize their muscle energy and strength gains naturally, should be seriously considering adding T-Force to their regimen.
Omega Sports is a winner, for those who wantto win! For more information, go to www.OmegaSportsSupplements.com. If you purchase a bottle of T-Force now from www.NutraPlanet.com, you can receive an Omega Sports t-shirt at no additional charge, while supplies last.
SEAL OF CERTIFICATION: The RACK From PowerPort LA
You can do 19 exercises with one amazing portable unit… at less than $200!Building exercise equipment today, stuff that really works, is convenient, fits in small spaces, and where you do not have to pay your first born to own, is an enormous challenge.
The Rack is an amazing piece of versatile fitness equipment that is ‘musclebuilding functional’, sturdy, compact and portable. The Rack is a full body dipunit. It can be configured into equipment, at 3 different levels, allowing you to do 19 serious upperbody exercises.
Just by quickly changing grips and angles, The Rack becomes 19 exercises in one piece. You will build muscle uniquely, with 5 different forms of push ups, 3 kinds of dips, 5 separate ab exercises and numerous shoulder, back and biceps exercises – and all that for less than $200.00.
The Rack has 3 US patents and 10 years of research behind it, with endorsements of real athletes, trainers, and coaches. You can add an additional 40 pounds with plates, to increase resistance.It can be stored under a bed (and the bed does not have to be Shaquille O’Neal’s!) It’s a perfect muscle-builder for the military, students and anyone in small quarters. (Prison guards though, are NOT giving it to prisoners --so their muscles don’t get like those of a Quarter Horse).
The Rack allows you to use your own bodyweight as extra resistance, building real core strength and balance, yet, it’s of commercial grade quality construction.
One gym owner states, “You just can’t put any product on a gym floor unless it’s tough enough to handle a constant beating. The Rack stands tough.” Home gyms are popular today because people can stay in shape even with their hectic schedules.
Let’s take a closer look:
PM: Does bodyweight resistancework?The Rack: Yes. Ongoing muscle growth requires progression, intensity, variety and not getting injured. Mixing body weight resistance exercise with standard protocols helps protect joints from chronic damage and keep in mind that, the Marines, Seals and Rangersall have successfully used bodyweight resistance for years.PM: Will it help strength and definitionin the upper body?The Rack: Stephen Alway, author and PhD has said, “For exponential increases in mass and strength in the delts, pecs and triceps, dips are the best exercise.” We agree 100%, as dips activate almost all upper body muscles.PM: I often run out of time and can't get to the gym. Is The Rack a good option?The Rack: That’s what it was made for! Trainers suggest that alternating both heavy and medium/light weights work best. Supplementing the heavy gym stuff with body resistance covers time constraints and provides alternative, variance in resistance angle and exercise.PM: Do personal trainers use it?TheRack: Yes as this is another reason it was made! Trainers deal with clients who often get pressed for time and miss appointments. If a trainer can “bring the gym” to the client, well, one problem solved! You see with The Rack, you can get a hard-core upper body workout right in the kitchen, before making that tasty post-workout egg white omelet.Questions to

SETS & REPS: SOON ENOUGH YOU WILL DECK BULLY FOREMAN!
Q: I've been reading your mag for three years now and I also read a couple others and yours by far is the best one. What do I say to the people who are constantly trying to cut me down because I’m not the same because I eat so many times (5-6) in the day? One foreman even tried to take my breaks away, just because he knows I want to eat every 3 hrs. I can stand it for a while, but after months of this it’s getting frustrating. Any words of advice, besides getting a new job? Anyway, keep up the great work at the mag.A: Tell your foreman that people who eat frequently, but eat less each time, but eat all nutrient-rich foods, not only work harder and better, but also live longer! You are unique as a bodybuilder, so you do need all that unique food. If he doesn’t agree, well, soon enough, just like Charles Atlas, where a bully kicked sand in his face and stole his girl, after he started bodybuilding with Dynamic Tension, young Charles, just 1 year later, came back to the beach and punched the bully’s lights out (and took his babe back), you’ll do the same to Mr. Foreman!
SETS & REPS: OUR NEW WOMEN’S STF MAGAZINE!
Q: My boyfriend told me that Jeff Everson is doing a new magazine in 2008?
A: Indeed, it hits the news stands around the first of May 2008. It is called STF for Shapely, Toned and Fit. (All the women will be!!) Planet Muscle subscribers and all readers can get the first 4 issues for postage only.

Or send checks to: Planet Muscle LLC4562 Topanga Canyon, Woodland Hills CA. 91364
SETS & REPS: PLANET PUSHES POWER!
Q: As a competitive lifter who pushes heavy iron, I appreciate that Planet Muscle gives me stories on the biggest strongest guys. You are the only magazine that seems to care about us lifters.A: We call it PLANET because we believe that everybody who lifts iron is important, not just those who may almost kill themselves, just so they get to pay $100 for a bodybuilding pro card.
THE DAY OUR MUSIC DIED!
Q: Thanks for the photos of Peary O’Brien in PM, Russ Knipp and Bob Bednarski (in Athlete), early last year. All three were great athletes of strength and multiple world record holders. Sure enough, none of the other magazines even left a footnote. As well, your Athlete also had a great story on Art Jones, who just passed (Editor’s note—Art invented Nautilus machines) and another truly Herculean man of power, Olympic champ, Al Oerter just died. Thanks for a marvelous magazine that covers the entire muscle world.A: Thanks. Speaking of Herculean, Mr. movie Hercules, bodybuilder Reginald Park has passed at 79. Russ Knipp held the world record in the press, weighing 165-lbs, pressing almost 360. Bob Bednarski pressed 456 and jerked 486, at 247-lbs. bodyweight, back in 1968. O’Brien was the first to ‘turn his back” in the shot and won Olympic Gold, revolutionizing the event. Al Oerter was Mr. Discus. He won 4 Olympic Gold’s over 16 years, unheard of.
YOU ARE ALL BIG CHEATERS!
Q: Mr. Everson, everybody in your stinking Planet Muscle is a big f***ing cheater and so are you. My chest is bigger than yours and all of your Planet Muscle goons, and I don’t even do the Roids or that Beverly protein. I have a real 44” chest and know that I am the true Mr. Olympia,whereas you are all a bunch of losers.A: Wow 44” -- that is really something. You must be able to bench like 190 pounds for 2, maybe 3 reps with a bounce and arch? We recommend that you continue to do the chest building workout you are on, but we will not elaborate in print those other details, as you requested. Your other favorite past time is just not relevant. I mean the fact that you can induce multiple orgasms in your mother, in the ‘Kama Sutra’ seated position #44, is not going to get Planet Muscle into Walmart. But, we are sure your mom’s next offspring will be a REAL Cretin, and gee, maybe with a 46” chest?
SETS & REPS: MHP POWER CAGE SPECIAL WRESTLING?
Q: Jeff, your magazine has helped me a great deal to make my decisions on the best supplements to buy. Thanks! I’m going to the Arnold this year; any special events that I should not miss?A: Well, I have established a nude wrestling event for ending worldwide racism and this will see Timea Majorova grabbling with Alica Marie. The DOG is the judge. He promises not to use objectionable language if Alicia pile drives Ms. Pectoralis Majorova.
Seriously, (butt) the one event you do get to participate in, is entering the MHP cage of power. Last year MHP really cleaned up at the Arnold Expo and was the BIG sponsor of the very popular Arnold Classic Strongman Competition.
Over 32,600 crammed in to watch Goliath's, each between 305 lbs. and 420 lbs. compete on very unusual stuff, demanding the strength of 10 grown men at once on each event. Besides that domination, of course, we all know that MHP’S Matterhorn of muscle, Victor Martinez, won the Arnold Classic Pro bodybuilding event. So this year, MHP is again the Arnold Expo event sponsor, of all the strongest men in existence, and get this --Martinez actually says, he will be on stage too, defending his title and says he will be bigger (and richer) than ever! The MHP Cage-Rage power-mongers will include World Record bench pressers Ryan Kennelly (1036-lbs), Joe Mazza (Joe won $1000 from Jeff Everson, by winning the best King of the bench, at the Kings bench event at the Olympia in Vegas), Rob Luyando (Mr. 900, the lightest man in the world to ever push the BIG 9), and the 360 pound Maniac-in-the-Kilt, the pro wrestler – sanguine strongman, Mike Miller. Mike squats 1100 lbs. and has been seen eating an entire cow for breakfast.
SETS & REPS: RAW MILK IT DOES A BODY GOOD
Believe it or not, once upon a time, back about 1950, when guys like Gironda, Reeves,
Grimek, Ross and Tanny, promenaded and exercised at Muscle Beach, there were no anabolic steroids. Bodybuilding did not mean the greatest massive size, with the least body fat. Instead, it stood for a 100% healthy lifestyle, clean and fresh, and sometimes raw foods, clean fresh air, no drugs, booze or smokes, and plenty of exercise in the open and clean air and sunshine. In fact, starting well back over 100years ago, both lifestyle and bodybuilding were actually unified under one umbrella term known as “Physical Culture”.
Now my point, over all those years, many of the physical culturists promoted the muscle and health effects of raw milk, including Joe Weider, in his 1981 book, “The Weider Approach to Bodybuilding”. So, it is with great irony (and sadness) that this decade’s-long right for California health advocates to choose farm fresh milk, is being terminated by CA. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who, somewhat uncharacteristically this time, seems badly misinformed on the subject matter.
On October 8th of this year, Schwarzenegger signed anti-milk legislation, AB1735. This changes bacteria standards to include less than 10 coli forms per ml. of raw milk. When this law is activated early in 2008, it will basically clear the shelves of some 300 California stores, depriving thousands of customers of the milk of their
choice!
The claims of raw milk as being dangerously unhealthy, borders on sheer fraud, as varying medical politicians, operating through both state and federal agencies, have been very successful in manifesting a germ phobic society, (Seinfeld Germaphobes), such that we have become a culture that literally fears its food. However, it was actually one of the medical orthodoxy’s own, Dr. Henry Coit, who forged the certified raw milk movement back in the 1890s because he understood the medicinal value of properly-raised cows, yielding pure, raw milk.
Technology has moved tremendously since the atrocities of the dirty distillery dairies that helped make the case for pasteurization, many years ago. The safety standards now where raw milk is processed are enormously high. Yet today, other industry doesn’t seem to care at all what they feed livestock or how it is raised; hell, destroy and over-farm the soil, fill it full of chemicals, stuff the cattle and hogs full of growth hormone and steroids, the cows will still produce milk.
Why worry? Scientists can just genetically modify, irradiate (cold pasteurization), or chemically spray or boil, all milk!
Consumers of farm fresh milk are not stupid people. People who drink certified raw milk are not aimlessly lining up at dairy farms simply to acquire diarrhea. They represent hundreds of thousands of people across the United States and Canada who have researched this issue and find it more than worth the effort to seek the benefits of raw milk. Dr. Scott Connelly, the inventor of MET-Rx and Progenex, notes, “Raw milk contains higher undisturbed levels of many critical nutrients.”
It’s all another erosion of your free right to choose. Bodybuilders have always been nutritionally innovative, and we must protect that right. This is not just a stance to consume raw milk, but also to maintain a standard of clean, organic and biodynamic farming by knowledgeable farmers who know that healthy life begins in a healthy soil. These tillers of the land not only produce quality food for those who desire it, but also high quality source products that constitute a number of the supplements you utilize in your own protocols.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, 7 times Mr. Olympia, 5 times Mr. Universe, author of “The Education of a Bodybuilder” and “The Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding”, this is your golden opportunity to stand up and show the people of the Golden State and those who primarily built your status over the years, (bodybuilders who read M&F, went to the movies and Arnold Classic), just exactly who and what you truly stand for.

THE NEW EXERCISE REVOLUTION: IRON IS SUPERIOR TO CONCRETE!
Scott Mendelson CPT www.infinityfitness.com and Eric Serrano MD, Smarter Exercise – Smarter EatingIf you want to get in your best shape ever for your New Year’s resolution, MD’S ARE PROVING THAT POUNDING THE WEIGHTS HAS MUCH MORE EFFICACY THAN DOES POUNDING THE PAVEMENT!
Once more, high intensity SB short burst exercise is proving more effective than any other exercise format!
To Scott - I am up and I’m serious to reach a body fat of less than 10%. I am about 20% and have already have lost 27 lbs. on better eating. I want to reach this level in 4 months. Is it possible and how much cardio should I do? Secondarily, do you recommend any start up training sessions that my MD can review too? My MD was amazed by my positive changes and I credit this to Dr. Serrano’s Alpha Omega and Fat Reduce!A) From ERIC Serrano, “Congratulations. Please keepgoing and you are doing the right thing by makingsure to check in with your MD at least each 4 monthson any major fat loss program. This allows he or sheto make sure there are no nutritional deficienciesmanifesting, from any caloric or nutrient restrictions.”From Scott – Hello and congrats. Listen, over the past 5 years or so, as it concerns start up fat loss programs (in those who may score as clinically obese, or whose body mass index (BMI) and levels offat registers as significantly overweight, many trainers and MD’s are finally following our established and published lead, and de-emphasizing aerobic exercise (especially running), in favor of compete body resistance training.We can ask... “Why not replace about 80% of any planned ‘cardio sessions’ with better overall exercise, one that not only protects the integrity of your joints,but is of less duration yet, raises your metabolic rate chronically, building critical muscle, while causing your body to drop fat like a proverbial lead balloon?”All exercise is “cardio!” If your ticker is not ticking neither are you. Fast-paced weight sessions add muscle, burns stored and dietary fat, decreases peripheral vascular resistance and increases cardiac output as your cardiac output equals your stroke volume X your heart rate (CO = SV x HR).
Training upon rising on a relatively empty GI tract creates some metabolic opportunity for more fat loss. This is due to carb fuels (sugar) not being restored and available - post your 8-9 overnight fast. But— this is usually relative to aerobic (cardio) exercise and building muscle requires different energy fuels than stored fats.
This is why Dr. Serrano is noted in his research on branched chain and free-form amino acids as a “fuel source” under varying well-hydrated conditions.
ALL of our some 12,000 clients over the numerous years all have earned great results with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis (as noted by your MD’s amazement and the Alpha Omega and Fat Reduce).Let’s address your fat loss goal.
Short burst (SB) workouts are the new standard. 15-20 minute intense exercise sessions will maximize metabolism, energy and even mental sharpness. SB burns calories. It also causes huge “metabolic after burn”– accelerating metabolism for many hours following exercise. Aerobics just do not cause much after burn.Here’s a real world example:
“I am a grad student and I was always a first thing “cardio addict” for years based on physiology data from Douglas collections. That showed that my RQ (respiratory quotient) of C02 exhaled in relationship to Oxygen inhaled, was causing fats to be oxidized preferentially oxidized and utilized. But Dr. Serrano’s and Scott’sSB sessions have now replaced my cardio morning fever. I’m now down to 7% fat and my lean muscle tissue is 8.5 lbs. higher." - Mike L. - Tulsa, OKAs with Mike, increasing the intensity (and quality) of aerobic exercise will burn fat. So, more are going short duration, yet higher intensity.
An example of a SB session is alternating sets of chin ups with strict weighted push ups for a TOTAL of 40-100 reps for each exercise reached over 20 minutes. In fact, if you simply did 4 exercises and progressively adding weight — chin ups, pushups, crunches and free squats, with minimal rest, your body will soon enough be a tuned lean fit machine!
The client test group (11 males from 28-41 years of age), using SB workouts 4 times per week combined with a traditional weight training program later in the day averaged a 3.5% body fat loss during the first 45 days.This was even more impressive when it was noted that ALL of the subjects herein, measured less than 16% body fat to begin with!!
Once more, none spent more than 4 hours exercising in a 7 day period. These subjects were given an amino loading protocol (vital raw materials) of Dr.Serrano’s 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis. This helped ensure complete substrate restoration and tissue nutrient repair, systemic and local recovery and accelerated muscle acquisition and fat loss.”
The key is that amino loading provided anabolic dietary nitrogen and metabolically, “forces” the body to use more stored fat as fuel during exercise. Amino Loading is well noted for improving performance and protecting lean body mass.
Dr. Serrano adds,
“What makes 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis the most effective body comp improvement stack on the market? 15 years of research with real patient trials and I have the data to back up the great success! We spare no expense when it comes to raw materials.”Email Scott@infinityfitness.com for your free SB Training File! 
Do each exercise as a superset - Do at least 40 reps of each within 20 minutes using a slow, controlled speed of movement to maximize muscle recruitment.
One major secret to maximum fitness, both cardio and skeletal muscle is to cut training time, to cut bodyfat! While hundreds of articles are written each day ---- all addressing/discussing how to add weight and vary reps, sets, (leaps & bounds etc), how many address the critical issue of doing the same or more work, in less time? This is also a very important progression!
I call this “training density.” It’s the real forgotten factor of how to improve muscle growth and fat loss over time. Heightened TD (training density) causes an anabolic hormonal “explosion” with higher levels of blood testosterone and growth hormones.
Keep in mind that decreasing rest (progressively) increases the production of lactic acid. This lactate and increased free hydrogen ion, lowers blood and tissue pH and is mostly responsible for that “burn” that nature so happily provided us to remind us of what hard high intensity anaerobic oxygen debt work, truly feels like!
It’s important to note, that this hard exercise manifestation,is really a powerful precursor to growth hormonerelease. Naturally-released HGH is a pretty potentfat-burning hormone. Here is another variation to burnoff that fat!
I call it RRFL (Rapid Rip Fat-Loss) Training.

Try to cut you rest periods by 10 seconds each week without reducing weight. For you muscle hungry animals – try the first SB training routine above in the morning and this rapid rip routine in the late afternoon.
Q) Dr. Serrano I am seeking a 6-pack set of abs. BUT-- after 3 years of trying I can not make it happen. I want to hear your advice cold -- what do you suggest?
A) Training and nutrition must be re-considered! Tothe surprise of many, diet is much more important than previously understood.
“There is much more to fat loss and muscle gained than may be predicted from the overly-simplified energy equation of: Calories in vs. Calories out. Try eating 2,000 calories of potato chips or 2000 calories of balanced proteins, fats and low glycemic carbs andsee what happens, short term and over 30 days! In fact, hormones run our show and according to 15 years of hard research and great patient results, I can tell you for sure, that the same plan does not work for everyone.” Eric Serrano M.D.
However, those who can naturally manipulate their hormones with diet, supplementation and exercise are successful 100% of the time. That’s right.
The SB training is awesome. I do it myself when work piles up as I am limited on time. It makes my mind sharp and I stay in great shape. The SB abdominal routines are awesome and we have posted a video oninfinityfitness.com. Do it once per week and you will have a great six pack quickly assuming you are able to achieve a low body fat.
The most critical elements are determining how your hormones and metabolism react to certain food sources, timing and combinations.
Eric notes, “I always conduct that experiment with each patient. At seminars, I am always asked about calories to consume, macronutrients, carbs vs. fats, carb cycling and more. Indeed, all of these factors need to be ironed out, based on individual needs. Once more, changing certain factors (at the right time) is also critical to ongoing success!”
Scott notes, “Eric is 100% right and as a trainer dealing in more customized and personalizes approaches to altering body constituencies, I do this by communicated with clients regularly. The customized plans do work.
Remember, your DNA is unique and individual traits play a vital role in program design including age, gender, genetic background, stress levels, prior nutrition habits and so much more. For example, should a person who works all day doing manual labor eat the same amount as someone behind a desk, even if they weigh the same and have similar goals? Nada. Small refinements can be the difference between slow progress and staggering fat loss. Explaining the methods would takeup too much space, but needless to say you better find help from an expert if you are looking for both rapid and permanent results.
“I was skeptical of nutrition changes Scott suggested, but I could not argue with the results! His programs were easy to follow. I was never hungry. My net loss was 6% body fat (about 9 lbs. of fat), in just 2 months.I am now very lean!” Jennifer M. – Yuma, AZ
Insulin is a fat storage hormone, Cortisol activates fat accumulation receptors supporting fat deposition (and specifically on the mid-section for men and upper legs for women).
The typical American Diet combined with growing rates of stress is a recipe for physique disaster. A powerful method for attacking mid section fat is again, our combination of Alpha Omega and Fat Reduce.
Alpha Omega is a filtrated essential fat supplement unmatched for purity and effectiveness. It contains several ingredients in specific ratios, known for combating both elevated insulin and cortisol.
Eric adds, “I engineered Alpha Omega and Fat Reduce based on many years of blood work. I established clear markers that resulted in massive fat loss. Establishing what needed to be done was the easy part! Three years later, Fat Reduce was born! 30 patients participated in a trial and used Fat Reduce without any changes in diet or exercise over a 1 month period. They lost fat weight because the average metabolic increase was over 400 calories per day. My attitude has always been to make the most effective supplements possible and using science and patient trials. I back the effectiveness of 100% MR, Muscle Synthesis, Alpha Omega and Fat Reduce. I’ve seen them work over and over again for several years.”
“I take the fitness mission of every client as a personal challenge. I must help them win. I provide the customized tools necessary to get their job done. With Dr. Serrano, our powerful combination of exercise, dietary expertise, supplement strength AND dedication is unmatched.
Call me today to get on your road to your success!”- Scott Mendelson**

SETS & REPS: Yes, there are Natural Physique Competitions
Hi Jeff. We just want to drop a quick e-mail and tell you that you have a great mag! We're a natural bodybuilding husband and wife team, currently preparing for the Natural Mr. and Ms. Universe Championships held in November in L.A at Venice high School.
Please check our site. http://www.myspace.com/magda.Good luck! We truly feel that Planet Muscle is mostly about helping bodybuilders who do it mostly natural! As far as we are concerned, magazines should all be emphasizing natural organizations, as much as they do the steroid groups and the photos we get should be the same. Bodybuilding doomed itself to ever be considered an Olympic Sport precisely because it can’t be just like other sports and exist without drugs.
Non-thinking people originally set up and promoted the physique contests, and they cared most about lining their pockets. They paid lip service, but never did care much about the sport’s participants. You disagree? So show me the pro bodybuilder’s organized worker’s unions, or health care, or disability benefits? Some pro sport, huh? Meaningful stands should have been explored, if not taken, when steroids crept mightily into physique competition, back the late 60’s and early 70’s. The germination of work by people who did not care much, is what we see and have now, which is no respect, no health benefits and zero chance of ever being an Olympic Sport.
SETS & REPS: You Can't Hang the Ripper!
Have you guys ever heard of Mike “The Ripper” Bruce? He’s a strong guy who travels about making demonstrations at schools, youth groups and churches. But what is different, is that he liftsover 300 pounds with the raw strength of his neck!In fact we have, and here he is. This is pretty darn impressive we have to admit! Mike has produced a 5 DVD set called Phenomenal Power and Conditioning Training for Mixed Martial Arts. He is also coming out with one on total neck training (TNT,and he has it). Reach him at rippermachine@hotmail.com
SETS & REPS: Baby Boomers Need It!
I picked up the Aug/Sep issue of Planet Muscle and enjoyed reading it, as always. I especially liked your story about Jennifer Micheli. She is very inspirational and motivational for a "babyboomer" fitness addict like me. As I started to get older (don't we all!), it suddenly dawned on me that if I wanted to stay in shape, I was going to have to put forth some sort of effort and do it consistently.
Instead of just “dabbling” in fitness, nutrition and workouts, I made the decision to make it a very large proactive part of my life.
At 51, I decided to fulfill a lifelong dream and compete in a bodybuilding show. On June 23, I did the IFBB Jr. CA. in Pasadena. I took 4th in my age (Masters Figure 45 and over). It was a great experience. It was both fun and scary at the same time. It’s my personal belief that "baby boomers" need a diet and workout regime perhaps even more so than our younger counterparts. Diet and exercise is indeed the true "fountain of youth" and the key to healthier living. Thanks again.Congratulations – a 4th place in your very first show of this caliber is excellent!
SETS & REPS: Supplements vs. Steroids?
I have always loved your straight forwardness in your articles. You don't pull any punches and you say exactly what's on your mind. But my question is, how much of the pro bodybuilders gains are due to steroids compared to supplements. The reason I am asking is, I just started working out and I want to know if the supplements they are selling are worth it. Any ideas as to what I should be taking and what is just a waste of money? It drives me crazy to think that the majority of the gains are due to the steroids. Thanks in advance.Yes, the supplements they may be associated with in the ads, are indeed worth it, but perhaps not because they may endorsing or talking about them, per se! What I mean by this, is once, I was at a seminar with the top 7 pros and several of the people in the crowd kept asking over and over about creatine (this was about 12 years ago when it was new), and since I was the moderator, I just went up and down the panel and asked them all about it, and at that time, none of them said they used creatine.
They did use protein 3-4 x a day in addition to meals. Creatine was new, but the point is, once the pro guys get into the steroid thing heavily, supplements end up making less and less difference. For example, someone injecting 1000mg of testosterone every 10 days is not going to benefit from a prohormone or T-raising agent.
These guys have enough water volume retention from steroids already, without compounding that with creatine. It is the great majority of builders who do not want to use drugs and/or risk fertility and heart side effects or jail, (the Feds just busted up some 26 internet steroid sites), who most benefit from all supplements, including creatine. You do have to accept physiology and biology that the body will not reach or achieve the same development as a steroid user may.
Overall, over a period of 10 years, of on and off use, I believe steroids would account for an increased muscle volume by about 30-40% of the whole body—and this is an immense amount.
SETS & REPS: MHP's Martinez Muscles in on Myositis
A new charity auction event has been pioneered by MHP. Together with the juvenile myositis disease association and champion bodybuilder Victor Martinez, MHP held an online auction from 7/25 to 8/15. Victor Martinez was on “the auctioning block” where the winner got the chance to go in a training session with Victor.

The winning bid for the charity training session was $2,400 from Michael Douglas of East Orange, New Jersey. On Sept 1,as well as training, Michael and Victor, had lunch at Eva’s Restaurant in Manhattan.
But, the star of it all, was a very special girl named Gia... a 5-year old with Juvenile Dermatomyositis. Gia was Victor’s inspiration for this very worthy cause. MHP contributed $500 of nutritional supplements to the auction and 2 VIP tickets came from American Media for the Mr. Olympia. Mike got round-trip airfare on Southwest and a free stay at the Mr. Olympia hotel, the Orleans! Needless to say, Michael was very excited about the wonderful experience.
Herein -- Victor poses with Michael and Gia. Victor is a registered member of “Athletes against Autism” and will be hosting many upcoming events in the future with MHP.
SETS & REPS: No Blacks in Couples Physique?
I was really disappointed with your October issue of PM. On page 96 your article on sex and muscle, you do not have one black bodybuilding couple represented. What? You don’t think black men and women lift weights and keep in shape? We also buy your magazine and would it have killed you to at least show one black couple instead of all caucasians?Well, I agree with you. In fact, I find many of my fellow caucasoids boring. But, in fact, we can’t run what we don’t get from the photo guys cause’ as of yet, we are not rich enough to commission, or pay for organized shoots and besides the other mags just shoot the same pros over and over…and over. But, as I say, if we get em’ we run them!
SETS & REPS: Saluting Da Boys!
I read Planet Muscle. Thanks for highlighting companies like PowerBlock, Europa, At-Large, EFX, Gamma-o and especially Mile High Muscle and their MMF (Military Muscle Foundation, and all the others, that support and send special things to the troops overseas.
A Jamie Eason also salutes the troops! And here's a photo of Eric Hillman's Europa

SEAL OF CERTIFICATION: Probolic-SR Bar by MHP
PROBOLIC-SR from MHP (Maximum Human Performance) Planet Muscle recently featured MHP’s Probolic-SR protein as the new gold standard in protein. They got their facts right on the money!
The unique, unparalleled and powerful blend in Probolic-SR of has set new standards in the protein supplementation arena. Now MHP is offering this new technology in a great tasting protein bar. That’s right. Once more, recent massive and independent voting surveys, say that industry consumers find that Probolic-SR protein bar to be the best tasting (and we know for a fact that it is most anabolic protein bar) ever created.

Probolic SR — the world-renowned protein powder is now the world’s first 12-hour protein bar. Yes, you read that right. Probolic-SR has a 12-hour micro-feed sustained release protein species that totally rams and slams you with 30 grams of superior, high quality protein. This continual and critical multiple hour supply of the most important amino acids, stimulates muscle growth, improves recovery and even prevents catabolic muscle wasting.
Consumers have really been clamoring for this famous protein in convenient bar form —and now Probolic-SR is here. (AND... we absolutely guarantee that its taste will blow you away, making Probolic-SR the perfect choice to support your BIGGEST muscle building goals).
For some time, nitrogen scientists have noted that the Probolic-SR’s patented 12-hour sustained release micro-feed technology and superior critical 5 Amino Acid Score (CFAAS) represent two of the most significant breakthroughs ever in protein supplementation. This means, in lay terms, that Probolic-SR’s engineered protein matrix feeds your muscles the highest levels of the most important amino acids for stimulating and supporting muscle growth. Probolic-SR’s advanced protein matrix provides a fast, medium and slow absorption release profile, all to improve bio-availability and nitrogen retention.
Bodybuilders, strength athletes, endurance jocks and all lifters really need this controlled, steady supply of 5 critical amino acids for long periods of time so they do not slip into negative nitrogen retention and go catabolic. This, plus the increased bio-availability in the bar, ramps up nitrogen retention, creating the ideal anabolic/anti-catabolic state for maximum muscle growth and preventing muscle breakdown.
One more amazing thing -- Probolic-SR’s amazing candy bar taste tricks your enemy taste buds and keeps on satisfying amino acid-hungry muscles for hours too!

BLUE RIBBON: MUSCLE PROVIDER by Beverly International
Protein researchers the world over have stated over and over that if protein supplements were boxers, Beverly’s Muscle Provider would be the undisputed heavyweight champ of the world. Muscle Provider is a revolutionary breakthrough in protein supplements, carefully formulated for 100% utilization. With MP, nothing is wasted. Every ounce of muscle-building and fat cutting potential is realized. Whey protein was supposed to be the protein of the future. Unfortunately the average whey protein has not lived up to its expectations.

A subtle point that has been widely missed, is that protein consumption does not always equal protein utilization. It does little good to have a high protein intake, unless you digest, absorb and assimilate it all! Muscle Provider is not your average whey protein. This is a science-backed blend of the world’s best forms of whey and egg, with an extremely high biological value (BV), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and unmatched net protein utilization (NPU). MP promotes positive nitrogen balance needed for muscle growth and delivers all the nutrients you need to build muscle!
Don’t gamble with your choice of protein supplements. No other protein can even get in the ring against the champ of protein supplements. When you get MP in you, the muscle goes on you - no more excuses not to grow!
Here are 10 reasons why you should use Beverly’s Muscle Provider:
1. MP’s multi-species blend of the world’s best proteins maximizes protein utilization.
2. MP is lactose free and easy to digest.
3. MP’s critical amino acid profile sets the standard for highest nitrogen retention ever.
4. MP’s mouthwatering taste never gets old - you can drink it all day and still want more.
5. MP’s increased concentration of whey protein hydrolysates drives anabolism to detonate muscle growth 24/7!
6. MP gives you the strongest nitrogen use with the minimum of calories - you can literally feed your muscle and starve your fat.
7. MP’s high BCAA content increases lean muscle mass and muscle synthesis while assisting to cut fat.
8. MP contains egg white for superb absorption and a stronger amino acid profile. Other companies don’t because it’s to expensive for them!
9. MP provides fast acting anabolic, and slower acting anti-catabolic nitrogen for maximum muscle growth, 24/7!
10. No other protein powder has been so extensively researched and constantly improved (since 1967).
No matter how hard you train, no matter what supplements you take, to build new muscle, you need protein and the better the protein... the better the results. Why mess around with anything mediocre? Provide your muscles with the best nutrients needed to repair, rebuild, and grow. Muscle Provider has the industry’s leading whey protein hydrolysate, essential amino acids and uniquely functional BCAA content.
MP’s is completely absorbed and utilized. With up to 68% more muscle building benefits than the next best protein, Muscle Provider is the “protein champion” more champions choose.

BLUE RIBBON: Beast Sports Nutrition AMPHETALEAN
Naturally, as they developed their new energy product AmphetaLean, the scientists of Beast Sports studied the different types of supplement delivery systems available in today’s marketplace.
Tablets and capsules are of course the most common and they deliver primarily through the stomach (with the exception of enteric coats - we’ll come back to that later).You also have liquids and powders that work quickest to deliver their effects and are also absorbed through the stomach.
Most users will agree these delivery methods work quickly, but at best, effects will last for no more than 1-3 hours. This short duration of action is due to the fact that the stomach will shuttle the ingredients quickly to the bloodstream, but the ingredients are delivered all at once. The stomach can also be a hostile environment for many dietary ingredients diluting their benefits after exposure to the acids in the stomach.

So the question is how do we get quick absorption with long lasting effects? We already know that liquids absorb quickly through the stomach, but the effects are short-lived. In order to delay release, pharmaceutical companies have successfully used enteric coated products for years. This type of delivery entails coating a tablet or capsule with a protective “shell” allowing safe passage through the stomach for delivery to the intestine. Delivering to the intestine is where absorption will be its greatest, for just about any supplement. If engineered properly, this method can deliver ingredients for hours on end. The only drawback with this type of delivery is that it may take up to 90 minutes to begin working.
But -- what if you could combine the swift delivery of a liquid with the sustained release of an enteric coated tablet? Well -- enter The Beast Sports Nutrition and their new energy product AmphetaLean. This product will revolutionize the supplement world with its new Liqui-Tab technology. This advanced delivery system features a pharmaceutically engineered tablet suspended in omega-3 oil within a capsule. This new 2 stage delivery process will allow you to feel the effects of the product much faster, and facilitate having the effects last throughout the day.
Here’s how it works:
The omega-3 oil within the capsule is actually a suspension containing the 1st stage of ingredients that will release immediately through the stomach lining and into the blood stream, causing an immediate energy jolt.
The 2nd stage is a specially engineered tablet that delivers deep within the small intestine and disperses slowly over several hours, to allow for continual delivery of the ingredients, throughout the day with no “crash”.
With this advanced 2 stage delivery, Beast’s Liqui-Tab technology is light years ahead of the competition. Ampheta-Lean will be the first product to utilize this new technology.
According to Beast Sports’ VP Rudy Velez, “Research testers on the product were amazed at the duration of the product. They were still feeling the energy buzz up to 10 hours after ingestion. Even those resistant to stimulants are amazed at the potency of the product.”

BLUE RIBBON: Cytodyne Xenadrine
For over a decade, Xenadrine has helped thousands of men and women to shed fat, to help them achieve their physique dream. In fact, Xenadrine RFA, this is the one that started it all. Introduced at a time when we already knew the virtues of the ECA (ephedrine caffeine and aspirin) stack, Xenadrine offered a top of the line fat burning engine. Xenadrine offered hope and a dream to everyone. Xenadrine showed
people that they could do it and that a “hardcore” dieting tool in the bodybuilding world could help every regular person.

With Xenadrine EFX, after regulators got ephedra in a chokehold, companies scrambled. To maintain their leadership position, Xenadrine dug deep into the world of ingredients and formulated Xenadrine EFX, the formula today. EFX has helped more people lose weight than did the original ephedra- based RFA formula. Now they have developed the dieting edge product, Xenadrine NRG, for extra energy when you are dragging, Xenadrine Detox, to help clean and kick start your body and diet, Xenadrine Sleep, with L-Tryptophan to help you wind down at night and Xenadrine Super HardCore, the next wave in dieting.
Not only does it target metabolism, but psychology and neurology, as well. Super Hard Core makes people feel great, something that does not happen too often when you’re on a diet. But -- this is not just a feel-good product, but a thermogenic onslaught; one designed to torch fat and keep your mind in the game.
Available at retail stores everywhere and www.averagejoessupplements.com.
BLUE RIBBON: USP Labs Anabolic Pump & Pure Supplements P-Slin
Smart bodybuilders are stacking synergistic supplements Anabolic-Pump (USP), and P-Slin (Pure). Anabolic-Pump activates a substance called GLUT- 4, that moves more macro-nutrients into cells. AP synthesizes protein and burns fat. It’s a natural anabolic nutrient-tissue partitioner. Anabolic-Pump is the fastest-selling supplement in Internet history.

P-Slin is a natural anabolic partitioning agent. This new pre-workout product creates a radical, immediate pump. Its main ingredient is a carrier to deliver sugars directly to muscle fiber cell nuclei. With this preferential treatment of muscle cells (as opposed to en’ masse delivery which would include fat cells - this does not) you get ferocious pumps! Your blood volume vascularity rocks. P-Slin is a huge weapon against the typical “lack of influence” to muscle cell DNA. Both of these positively affect all nutrient partitioning, better directing nutrients to force muscle to grow after working out, without stimulants.
P-Slin works quicker as a pre-workout blitz (stimulus) than any product ever.
P-Slin has a relatively short time-of action (1-2 hours) – and allows shuttling
of huge volumes of carbs directly to muscle cells and away from fat
cells – up to 200 grams at once!
Anabolic Pump adds to this by acting up to 8 hours. Use P-Slin pre-workout and
use Anabolic Pump for the entire day, (1 preceding each of your 3-7 meals). Use both of these products continuously and your body will not stop responding to these biological compounds.
You can get the powerful AP/P-Slin stack Planet Muscle special, from www.averagejoessupplements.com or from USP Labs.

BLUE RIBBON: Isatori MX-LS7
Let’s take a closer look at Planet Muscle’s #1 rated, “best in class” high-performance fat burner, MX-LS7... and see why it’s quickly becoming the hottest selling hardcore male thermogenic fat burner in America.

“MX-LS7 is very potent and works extremely fast.” That’s a statement backed by double-blind evidence. The core formula in MX-LS7 underwent a real, independent, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study.
Incredibly, subjects in the study (men and women) increased their metabolic rate an astonishing 1,391% compared to those using the placebo. As a result, participants lost a remarkable 19 lbs of fat and reduced their waist circumference by up to 4 1/2 inches, in eight weeks. And as you know, fat around your belly is usually the hardest to lose and the last to go.
Results of this study were so impressive; they were published in the prestigious scientific journal NUTRITION. (Check it out on PubMed online). MX-LS7 delivers proof, not just promises. The bottom line: MX-LS7 is in a class of its own.
Nothing is stronger or faster. Planet Muscle readers, who call today, will receive a special one-time only discount… and a couple of other bonus gifts (valued at over $34). Plus, call for a free sample! The toll-free number to call is 1-866-688-7679 (ask for Dept. #2570), or go online to
isatoritech.com/MXLS7.

BLUE RIBBON: MHP PROBOLIC-SR BAR
Gerard Dente has been a champion bodybuilder, lifer and athlete. Indeed, Gerard is probably the most active and real food supplement guru/CEO in the muscle business today. Gerard is a mass of boulder-solid 260 pounds of muscle, has real 22” arms.
Dente has put that same muscle into the applied intellect to make the most muscular products, known to be #1.

Right now, industry insiders recognize that MHP has the strongest protein out there, Probolic SP. Now, Dente, and his MHP scientists, are introducing that famous protein into a convenient, powerful food bar —PROBOLIC-SR, the world’s first 12-hour micro feed, sustained release protein bar, that has been voted the # 1 best tasting too!
Each PROBOLIC-SR bar slams you with 30 grams of that superior, high quality protein. It is highly a fine tested mix of anabolic amino acids for your muscles, 12 hours of powerful muscle-building nitrogen. And guess what -- the taste will also blow your mind (and body), making PROBOLIC-SR the best (perfect) choice to support all your post workout (or morning, or sleep time), muscle building goals. PROBOLIC-SR’s amazing “candy bar taste” tricks your enemy taste buds and satisfies your amino acid-hungry muscles for up to 12 straight hours. MHP is now introducing a new chocolate caramel crisp flavor. This is conjunction with its delicious and already popular,
chocolate marshmallow chunk and triple peanut butter flavors.
The MHP Probolic SR high protein food bar is available at GNC, Vitamin Shoppes, Vitamin Worlds and better retail stores. Also available from www.averagejoessupplements.com, BodyBuilding.com, Europa, A-1 and Boss.
BLUE RIBBON: Kemistry Stone Dragon

Stone Dragon is a super anti-catabolic and instant muscle expander that re-defines the science of increasing muscle cell volume.
Muscle cell growth is complex yet Stone Dragon can deliver a 369% increase in the size of your guns in one dose! This has been validated in a recent pilot study at the Ohio Institute of Health and Human Performance.
The best way to describe how Stone Dragon deliver, is that it utilizes two “anabolic triggers” to increase the size of muscle cell compartments, which in turn leads to muscle growth. The first trigger is set in motion with super physiological amounts of key compounds that increase insulin output and insulin receptor sensitivity. This appears to open the door to the second trigger — “osmotic anabolic signaling” — an increase in muscle cell size via “hyper hydration.”
Stone Dragon is the first product to incorporate a mechanical approach to “muscle cell gradient dynamics” (MCGD). In addition to supplying a wide variety of amino acid signaling and insulin receptor, up-regulation composites, Stone Dragon also contain a multi-faceted complex that initiates MCGD and mechanically pulls key substrates into your muscle cells for instant muscle volume, monstrous pumps, the addition of new muscle, power, and opens the insulin anabolic window.
Stone Dragon wields a double-edged sword of size and raw power. Testing of this product has shown that Stone Dragon's effects may actually increase over time with regular use (rather than decrease).

SEAL of Certification: Nutrition Research Group Triple Delicious Bar
Triple Delicious The World’s First All-Natural, Triple Layer, Organic Protein Bar30 g protein * 345 calories * 13 g net carbs * 3g fiber * gluten-free * organic certified * 100% natural * no trans fat * no preservatives * low glycemic * cold pressed * 18 months shelf life * exclusive protein blend for taste and texture *
Triple Delicious – is!!David McCabe, former power lifter, bodybuilder and athlete, is more importantly the ‘mad food scientist’ and supplement developer, who creates #1 selling supplements about as readily as you and I do cheat dumbbell curls with the 30’s. Dave pioneered the #1 best-selling high protein bars in history. While the Pure Protein Bar, (Worldwide Sports Nutrition, now with NBTY), is still the best-selling high protein food bar in history that’s about to change! Mr. McCabe, through the NRG, (Nutrition Research Group), has developed the Triple Delicious, Triple Layer, All-Natural, Organic high Protein bar and is ready to blow the doors off the industry!!

Of course, he's not any one-trick pony on our illustrious path to muscle. Dave McCabe, long before the famous Dr. Atkins, brought out his low carb bars, was a first and true pioneer of the both the low glycemic index and using glycerol in food bars. Working with Dr. Thomas Wolever that developed the glycemic index and science for bodybuilding, Dave manufactured bars with the sugar alcohol (glycerol), in place of carbohydrates. Glycerol, or glycerine, has a much lower impact towards converting to, and raising blood glucose, as compared to standard carbohydrates. (The use of the term, net carbs, is in large part due to McCabe.)
Dave also developed one of the strongest fatburning, thermogenic products called Thermospeed, as both drink and capsule form. He developed the first logistic hub distribution centers across America, where product could be delivered ground to anywhere in the country, within 48-72 hours of order receipt. (That system of warehousing is much copied today).
About 2 years ago, McCabe leaped into the new category of functional-sensational drinks, where he pioneered the first proprietary carnosine-building Endosine formula (Xtreme Shock drink), a radical, happening, Beta-Alanine drink.
“Now, McCabe, heading NRG (Nutrition Research Group), has just received the highly regarded certification from QAI (Quality Assurance International). This organic triple-layered food bar tastes superb and is 100% all-natural!!”
Triple Delicious has an amazing, 18 month shelf life, except for the fact that it is flyin
