We are also a dealer for MAK Smoker Grills.
MAK Grills

Many people are starting to understand why pellet grills are so great. 

 These units are made in the USA and will work in any weather. So you can smoke/grill all winter. These units are being used to win national competitions. They are fully automated so you can set them and walk away. No more tending a smoker all day. Pure hardwood gives a "kiss of smoke" to the meat. Nobody likes to taste a forest fire. Once you taste food off the MAK you'll be hooked.

These grills are pellet fed hardwood. We also carry hickory, apple, maple, mesquite, cherry and pecan pellets.

As the weather turns colder people go back inside and use their favorite training facilities more frequently.   When the Holidays approach many people end up losing focus again and fall off of their schedule. They have a harder road ahead when they attempt to return and get back in shape.  Instead of an "all on" or "all off" approach, if you can adopt a moderate strategy it can help you.  Even if you only get to the gym once a week it will help you maintain muscle mass and prevent a complete reversal of your progress.  Of course twice a week is better and if you can make it at least 3 times you will feel more in control and enjoy the holidays even more. You will also be able to metabolize excess calories more easily.  No matter what path you end up taking we will be here to support you.  Read below to hear about 6 tips for success in the gym. 

We also have some great new products that will help you reach your goals more easily so please stop by when you are ready to hit it and let us help!!

All proteins are NOT created equally

Ever wonder why some proteins give you gas?  That means you aren't digesting it.

If you find "lactase" listed in the "other ingredients" section it means the protein must contain significant "lactose". Hard to digest for many people. And a well made protein doesn't contain much extra milk sugar.  

There are many other differences in protein quality and digestion and content. A company recently revealed a 3rd party analysis of some major brands. I think you'll find this fascinating.  Some of these brands only have 75% or less of what the label claims according to this study. Some companies are currently in class action lawsuits because their product doesn't meet label claim.

6 TIPS for SUCCESS 
in the GYM
 
Here are some solid ideas that may help you for the long haul...

Study shows blended proteins are more effective in triggering muscle protein synthesis... 
BUILDING MUSCLE

Whey protein has the highest leucine content and therefore is the number on choice for building muscle.  But blends are shown to elevate nitrogen levels in the blood stream for longer duration and even better muscle protein synthesis. See the study.  

This is why Max Pro is a favorite. It is a blend of whey protein isolate, whey concentrate and casein.
