Another aspect that can never be
overlooked, especially being a lifetime drug-free bodybuilder is your
supplementation! If it has been out there and has had any success other
than over advertising, I probably have tried it. Today, there are many
critics to dispel any and all myths about the many supplements to enter
the market. Until the FDA straightens out there guidelines of the
supplement industry, listen to the people you know you can trust!! I
have used my nutritionist for many answers to what is needed and what is
just hype. He has helped to lay the groundwork for a successful
supplement regimen. I have been using whey protein around my workouts
for fast absorption before and after workouts. I have also used my share
of glutamine and creatine. As far as vitamins go, I use a multi-vitamin,
B complex, vitamin C, and vitamin E. These supplements have been staples
in my diet for the longest time. Being around the other competitors, you
start to hear about the many things that do work and I think this is the
best way to get your best brands in the industry. Most natural
competitors are not sponsored by the brands they use, and if they are
spending their own money they are not going to waste it. They go for the
brands that are top quality. I have been competing in the INBF since
1998, and have had a lot of help from fellow competitors. It is a close
group of people who want to help each other promote natural shows. Most
of their opinions are truthful and not misguided, and this is where I
heard a few people talk about the company, Beverly International. They
did not advertise in the bigger magazine publications, which started to
make me wonder why such a so-called good supplement company can survive
in this overblown advertising society. The company has been around for
over 25years so they must be doing something right. It has stood the
test of time and much of their advertising is done through word of mouth
of fellow users and the only real publication that tells it like it is,
Planet Muscle. Jeff Everson is one who holds nothing back and
tells it like it is! He does not throw any advertisement in his magazine
for profits; he puts the advertisements in his magazine that he feels
are genuine and stand by their product. After seeing how Jeff Everson
was not only advertising Beverly products, he also took the products as
well. I decided to go onto the Beverly Website,
Bodybuildingworld.com
and see what was being said about the product. All of these factors
helped me to say let’s give this stuff a try. After doing my research on
their products, I decided to place my order:
1)Muscle Provider
2)Lean Out
3)Energy Reserve
4)GH Factor
5)Muscle Synergy
6)Ultra 40
7)Mass Aminos
8)Muscularity BCAAS
9)Muscle Mass BCAAS
I then made up a chart that
would prepare me for the upcoming INBF Hercules Show in June. I started
to use the Beverly products in February and laid my foundation for the
upcoming show. I used an excel sheet and laid out my plans. I have
attached the sheet. |
