MAX MUSCLE Quad Cities news (JULY) - specific tips for GOLF, RUNNERS, RECOVERY Studies, MaxForm contest results, MaxPro on Livestrong.com, more...AND SALES ITEMS

This month we have some great information on local people who have done some great things. We also are highlighting a few articles that will help golfers, endurance runners and also people trying to put on muscle. Try these strategies. They aren't opinions, they are suggestions based on scientific studies.

Did you know that MaxPRO protein is highlighted on Lance Armstrong's website? Livestrong.com. "We" already know that MaxPro is an extremely effective protein supplement but it's always nice to have a superathlete select it out the thousands of other choices to put on his website.

What makes a champion? Who wins these contests? It's the person across the street. What makes them special? Their determination. Their obsession and belief that they can do it. They are willing to push themselves past their comfort zone and put their trust in their coaches and trainers. It's not the workouts, it's not the nutrition, it's all of that plus it's the burning desire to change their lives for the better and not just accept whatever life has dealt them. They develop a "no excuses" mind set and insulate themselves from negative feedback. These short 6 month contests aren't really stressful until the last couple months. That is when the contestants who put in their all, start to look around and realize that they have outstripped most of their competition and the real contest is down to a hand full of people. The dream starts becoming a reality. The pressure intensifies. That is when a person's true character comes out. By this point more and more people are cheering them on. But the amazing thing is that these people have already won. They are locked in the battle of the contest so they usually don't acknowledge it or even realize it until the contest is over. They are all so different physically and mentally. Their attitudes change completely. It's always such a positive, uplifting boost for them and everyone around them. There are no losers in this contest. Only winners.

And for every winner there is a team of dedicated trainers and nutrition experts in the background helping provide guidance and encouragement. The next contest starts December 1st. If you are a trainer and have someone in mind that has the discipline to make this Transformation please contact us and let's get a strategy in place. We are here to support "everyone" in their journey to health. Find someone that needs your help and lets pass it on. Maybe the next MaxFormation Champion will come from the Quad Cities.

As a special note of thanks... Begin Again Fit For Life trainers Mike Kratzberg and Michele Jamison have been very active in training contestants for the MaxForm contest. They were training multiple people that were serious contenders in the contest again this year. They have helped many people make wonderful changes in their lives and they have consistently made the MaxFormation contest a catalyst to get people started. Michele was in this contest and came in as first runner up nationally in 2009. Our hats are off to Mike and Michele for their ongoing commitment and dedication to making a positive difference in people's lives.

SCOTT's Salad that isn't a SALAD

We eat this all the time. I'm publishing it because we have people over and they say "wow, this is a good idea". It is really simple but just remember... it's NOT A SALAD. :) Why? There's no leafy stuff...

LOW "T" ?

Men, over 40, trying to lose some fat around the middle,

need more ooumph?

Leptin - What is it and why it can be harmful to your health and what you can do about it?

Leptin is a protein hormone that is thought to relay satiety signals. ie: Let us know we are full or hungry. Leptin concentrations are highly correlated to body fat mass.

Obese humans have, on average, 4 times more serum leptin levels than lean individuals.

Men who are obese, (with high serum concentrations of leptin) have been shown to have low concentrations of total and free testosterone. (ie: 22%-45%)

This can have many other health implications beyond vanity. Excess body fat around the middle has been associated with many health problems. If you find yourself with the "tire around the middle" syndrome, you may benefit by adding a natural testosterone booster to your exercise and nutritional strategy.

A natural testosterone booster is different than creams or synthetics because a natural booster will enhance what you make, not replace it. And unlike a prohormone type synthetic test booster, which will actually diminish your natural production, you won't experience those nasty side effects, like reduced libido, with the natural stuff if/when you go off it. What do you have to lose?

Men's testosterone levels decline as we age anyway, so adding something to stop it or slow it down is a plus. What can you expect by using a natural booster? Increased energy, increase in strength, better mood and outlook, better recovery from training, and increased libido.

By far our most popular test booster right now is 2TX. It is made with patented ingredients and backed by research.
