Hello   ,

 

 

Thanks to all of our customers for your support. We were recently awarded the Presidents Club for 2011. This is an award for store owners who are chosen as the best ambassadors for the Max Muscle brand out of 150 stores nation wide. We couldn't win this award without a strong following of loyal Max Muscle brand supporters here in the Quad Cities. That's YOU! Brent Herkes and Scott Herkes accepted the award (top left and bottom left in the picture above) for the Bettendorf and Moline stores.  Where is Karen? Well someone had to stay home and keep the stores open for you. THANK YOU !!!

 

Also, just out this month, PRO 360 protein for Youth athletes. This protein blend is appropriate for young athletes and is fully compliant with NCAA programs so College and High School coaches can relax. It has a good balance of protein, carbs and fats appropriate for todays hard training young people. See more details and a data sheet below.  

 

Please see the special deals we are offering you this month to celebrate Max Muscle's 20th year in business. These products have never been offered at these prices before. As always, when we get a deal, so do you. We listed these special product offerings below.

 

 REMINDER - We will be closed Monday - Labor Day

 

 

Scott's recipe of the month

Scott's Bolognese Sauce. This is a keeper. Look below to get the recipe. 

 

Are you using a pre-workout formula that helps your performance or does it just get you tweaked? 
There is some good science regarding caffeine before a workout and how it will aid performance.  Stimulants, in the proper amounts can be helpful. Too much has a negative effect. Read below to understand why and make sure you are getting what you are paying for.

 

Want to have an ice cream type "treat" that will help you reach your fitness goals? 
My friend Dianne Carlos from California recently told me what she does to satisfy her ice cream craving.  See how to make a treat that is also very healthy for you just below...

Michaela Weeks comes in 37th at USAT Junior Nationals!!!
michaela
Michaela is a young athlete that trains hard and recently she logged the best times she has had all year at USAT junior Nationals!! She added Nitro2 and Xtinguisher to her preworkout stack and 13 year old Michaela Weeks had her best Bike and Run times of the Season, finishing in 37th place in the Female Youth Elite 13-15!!!  Both of these products help endurance and oxygen delivery to working muscles. Michaela works hard and little things can make a big difference in these type of events. Besides Michaela's dedication to training, she also understands how nutrition and proper supplementation can help her performance, which puts her in a limited group of athletes at her age. Our hat is off to you Michaela. Congratulations and we look forward to many more great achievements from you in the future.

Erin Keith is the top female finisher for the MaxForm contest in the United States in 2011 !!!!!!

Congratulations to Erin. She was the 2nd runner up behind two male competitors who also did a fantastic job this year.  Erin edged out all of the other female competition.  I am always biased toward the Quad Cities competitors and the way I like to say it... Erin came in 1st place out of all the females in the United States who competed in the MaxForm contest in 2011. A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Erin and all the hard work. Erin had Jessie Adams (Champs Gym) as a trainer as well as her friend and mentor Teresa Bravata (now working at Max Muscle). Erin also had the Max Muscle team behind her helping her with her nutrition throughout the contest.  This wasn't done with expensive "stacks" of pills. This is a lifestyle change that becomes easy to maintain and enjoy. You can do it too. If you are ready, or you know someone who is, let us know. We can show you the way. Also thank you to all who participated in this contest. You are all winners.  And thanks to those who took the time to vote for their favorite competitor. You made this possible.

Does your pre-workout cocktail really help your performance... 
or does it just get you tweaked?
 
 
athletes pic  
 

Do you do a preworkout drink just for the stimulating effects to wake yourself up or are you more interested in performance?  That is an interesting question because some preworkout drinks are much more tilted toward giving you a "tweaky" high than actually giving you an ergogenic (enhance performance) benefit. Read on and I'll explain what to look for in a preworkout drink....

 
 

ENDURANCE ATHLETES

"Buy One Get One FREE" 

  

 You've seen it many times. Stores run SUPER SALES on EVERYTHING in the store. The deal is so good you just can't pass it up...or can you?

 

Please see the link below to understand this technique.

SCOTT'S "Enhanced" Bolognese Sauce

 

This sauce contains some ingredients that you may be fearful of adding, like anchovies. I promise, you won't taste the anchovies. I've made this for many people and they wouldn't go near an anchovy. But, they love this sauce. Give it a try. You won't be sorry.  
  

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.
