YOU'RE ABOUT
to have the hght of
your life. And your
greatest opponent
is yourself. What
is this hght? !t's
your hght to live
ht and healthy.
!nstead of dodging
hsts threatening to
pound your face,
you have to escape
the blows of fast food, bad habits, laziness and poor
self esteem. Like the Team Nax hghters featured in
this issue, you have to prepare and discipline yourself
and learn the necessary strategies to come out on top
every time. We want to help show you the way.
!f you care about yourself and want to have a hghting
chance, hip through the pages of this magazine and
glean everything you can. Discover hve medication
mistakes people make that can cause you harm - or
even death (pgs. 18-20). !f you're dealing with angry
inhammation, learn about foods and supplements
that combat it (pgs. ++-+6). !f you're bored with your
training sessions or would like to train like a hghter,
then you must try the killer workout from Nuay Thai
expert Norgan Tran (also this month's cover model)
on pages 22-25.
Recent studies show + out of 10 Americans are
obese. And that's not even counting those who are
overweight. This is a battle my friends. We are at war.
Our hght against fat begins with ourselves. We can't
blame anyone or anything else if we can't ht into our
clothes or we get heart disease after years of being
sedentary and eating fried fatty foods. We must hght
back!
To get inspired from someone who used to be
an obesity statistic, just look at Nax Nuscle's 2011
NaxForm Life Challenge champion, Don Dona! His
column this month is all about how he continues to
soldier on by setting new goals and creating new
challenges (pg. 26). For additional inspiration, read
through the Feedback section on pages 12-13 to hnd
out about everyday people such as yourself who are
winning the hght. !f you want more, log onto Nax
Nuscle's online community (NyNaxNuscle.com) and
get inspired by people who are taking back their lives
and feeling better than they've ever felt!
You have the right to hght for a ht and healthy
lifestyle. Be great! Be tough! Fight back!
Until next time,

MAX MUSCLE'S 2TX
has men in their 30s, 40s,
50s and even 60s all over
the country raving about
how this product is making
them feel young again. It
seems like every time I
see the guys I coach with
or know in the community,
they are always asking me
about this 2TX supplement
they keep hearing about
that will make them feel like they did in high school! 2TX has
literally become a life saver for them.
Steve Wright played professional football for 12 years. He played
on the defensive line so he was big and he was strong and he was
XVHG WR JKWLQJ IRU HYHU\ GRZQ HYHU\ TXDUWHU HYHU\ JDPH IRU
more than a decade of his life. He was as tough as it gets.
As Steve got older, he started to slow down like all men do as
they age. He remembers it being a gradual thing, but then one
day he woke up and just couldnt believe how little energy he had
and how he just didnt feel like training or really doing anything
anymore. 2TX became his game-changer. He now feels like he did
back when he was playing professional football. He cant believe
the energy that he has now and he cant wait to tackle life each
GD\MXVWOLNHKHXVHGWRWDFNOHRSSRVLQJSOD\HUVRQWKHHOG
Ron Cummings has a similar story. He was exercising, eating
right and living a healthy life, but he just felt in his words, spent
all of the time. How many of us older guys can relate to that? After
a few weeks of using 2TX, he couldnt believe the difference that it
made in every aspect of his life. At 52, Ron says he now feels like
he used to in his 20s. He says he owes it all to 2TX and what he
calls the 'Super 50 Plan!'
If you feel like these guys used to and this letter isnt enough
to motivate you to give 2TX a try for yourself, I dont know what
will! I know 2TX works. Im in my 40s now and I
have been using it for that last two years. I really
believe that I wouldnt have the quality of life
that I do now without it.
When I hear guys complain about lacking
energy and having a hard time mustering up the
strength to get through their day or exercise,
I think to myself that Im glad I dont feel that
way; what a lousy way to go through life! I also
think to myself, 'Wow, Im glad I have 2TX!'

During sleep, catabolic processes take place in our bodies, which
minimize the positive effect of training.
MAX ZMA promotes the secretion of anabolic hormones, thus
assisting your body to increase muscle repair, reduce fatigue, and
replenish your body with essential nutrients.
By combining zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B-6, MAX ZMA also
boosts your bodys production of testosterone, which not only helps
your body heal itself during rest, but also promotes a refreshing and
thorough sleep.
A breakthrough study at Western Washington University has found zinc
monomethionine may be absorbed better than other forms of zinc and
improves zinc levels without adversely affecting copper levels (Brilla and
Conte, 1999)*.

CELEBRATING & HELPING OTHERS
On March 24, we celebrated our 3rd year anniversary with 4-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler. We had
more than 200 people come celebrate with us. We did a fund-raising for Christian, a little kid who
suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). For more information, visit ChristiansFight.com. We
were able to raise $500 for him. Fernando Salas, Max Muscle Franchisee, Wesley Chapel, Florida
steered towards living a healthy lifestyle
after being chubbier in my younger years.
I am excited to compete again this year,
and hope to one day become an IFBB pro
gure competitor. This year, my mom has
entered into the MaxForm Life Challenge,
so both her and I have been able to use a
lot of the Max Muscle products and have
recognized positive results from all of them,
including the Cleanse & Lean and Quadra
Cuts! I am thankful and blessed that I get the
opportunity to grow stronger physically and
mentally each year, and to continue to use
the Max Muscle products to help keep my
body in balance with the shows that I am
training for!

Troy Hall (member ID: thall24), 40, of
Huntington Beach, Calif. joined the 2011
MaxForm Life Challenge on Jan. 4, 2011. He
lost 49.5 pounds and gained a better life and
new friends via MyMaxMuscle.com, Max
Muscle's online community for everyday
people who want to get in great shape and feel
great. Troy is an avid user of MyMaxMuscle,
often logging in about six times a day to post
journals and encourage others. We caught up
with him while he was vacationing with his
family to ask him a few questions:
Q: How did you nd out about
MyMaxMuscle & the MaxForm contest?
A: I belong to Golds Gym in Huntington
Beach. I picked up the January 2011 issue of
MS&F, leafed through it and decided to join the
MaxForm contest. I logged onto MyMaxMuscle
the same day I started the contest.
Q: How much weight have you lost since
the competition?
A: I've been steady but have dropped more
body fat Actually, its not what Ive lost,
but what Ive been able to do: running 5Ks,
running the Mud Run, playing in a basketball
league and working out twice a day. It's been a
complete lifestyle change.
Q: What is your top tip to share with those
competing in this year's MaxForm contest?
A: This is something I live by: plan your work
and work your plan. I say that all the time to
people.
True Inspiration
(Shared by Parker Cote, who was featured in the January
2012 issue of MS&F, with permission from Chris Mai.)
Hi Parker! You have been a huge
inspiration to me with your body
transformation! I've always been the small
guy in high school and up until now, I've
always weighed about 140 pounds on
a good day. Recently, I nally got sick of
my skin and bones physique and decided
to change. I went into Max Muscle and
bought my pre-workout BCAA's and post-
workout protein. When I went to check
out, I received a magazine that featured
you in it. I saw your story and your "before"
picture and was amazed! You really gave
me that extra boost for the positive change
I wanted to make in my life! So far, after
5 months of hard work and eating right, I
have gained about 25 pounds and I look
pretty lean! But I just wanted to take the
time to tell you thank you for showing me
that it is possible to get to your level with
hard work and determination! My best
regards to you!
Chris Mai, 22, Missoula, Montana
Feeling Fantastic
Thanks Max Muscle. I would have never
achieved this body at my age without the
MaxForm contest and your supplements. I
feel fantastic! This photo was taken during

merica has more than 78 mil-
lion Baby Boomers (those born
during the Post-World War II
baby boom between the years 1946
and 1964, according to the U.S. Cen-
sus Bureau). Some Baby Boomers are
turning 65 this year at a rate of one
every 10 seconds (3 to 4 million per
year). They are healthier than ever
and their overall life expectancy is
increasing. In fact, since the turn of
the century, Americans are living ap-
proximately 33 percent longer. We are
pushing 80 years old as the average
life expectancy, and that is a stagger-
ing statistic.
Baby Boomers today are demanding
quality of life. Unfortunately, humans
have joints that often fail years before
the muscles they support. I happen to
be a Baby Boomer with tiring joints.
So, a few years ago when we decided
to make a proprietary joint relief prod-
uct at Max Muscle, I was excited for my

in the maintenance and repair of joints

Chondroitin sulfate provides the raw ma-

be a very effective treatment for arthritis
pain and joint problems by inhibiting free
radicals that degrade joint cartilage and
collagen and improving blood circulation

Beware of Tick-Borne Disease If you live in the northeastern United States, you need to worry about
more than a sunburn when outdoors this spring and summer. According to Dr. Richard Ostfeld, a disease ecologist at the Cary Institute of
Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York, there will be an upsurge in Lyme disease this year. Lyme disease is transmitted to humans through
the bite of infected black-legged ticks. Ticks actually prefer their blood meal from the white-footed mouse, but if populations of mice are down,
theyll feast on any mammal including us. Te mouse population has declined drastically due to a scarcity of acorns leaving humans at risk
for tick-borne disease, says Dr. Ostfeld. Untreated Lyme disease can result in problems with the joints, heart and nervous system. Te best way
to protect yourself is to avoid areas with high grass. If hiking, wear long pants and sleeves and walk in the center of the trail. You can also use
repellent that contains at least 20 percent DEET, the most common active ingredients in insect repellents. Afer coming indoors, check your
body for ticks. Tey are very small, about the size of a sesame seed, but become larger when engorged with blood. If you fnd a tick, remove it by
grasping it as close to the head as possible with tweezers, and pull it straight out. Report the bite to your doctor as soon as possible for diagnosis
and treatment. Lyme disease can be squashed by a short course of antibiotics. Learn more about Lyme disease at CDC.gov/lyme/.

Obesity & Sleep Aids
Obesity poses a signihcant risk of death related to prescription
sleeping pills such as Ambien and Restoril, especially among
young adults and men.
A recent study found that people with an average body
mass index of 38.8 had an 8.1 times greater chance of dying
when taking 18 or fewer sleeping pills a year compared to
those with similar age, gender and health who did not take
sleeping pills at all. Those who took 132 or more sleeping pills
per year had and average 9.3 percent chance higher of dying
than those who took no pills.
The study authors believe that their hndings are related to
the fact that those who are obese have a higher incidence of
sleep apnea, and sleeping pills are associated with more and
longer pauses in breathing in people with sleep apnea.
While more research is needed to conhrm these results,
it's a good idea for all of us - obese or not - to practice good
sleep habits rather than to rely upon sleeping pills to help us
sleep. These include keeping a regular bedtime and wake time
each day, relaxing for several hours prior to sleep, avoiding
caffeine, sugary or spicy food, and alcohol for at least + to
6 hours before bed, and making sure your bedroom is Tuiet,
cool and dark.
WHITE RICE = DIABETES 2?
If you like white rice, you may want to change to something else. Researchers from the
Harvard School of Public Health reviewed a variety of studies, all pointing to evidence
that those who have a high intake of white rice have a substantially higher risk of type 2
diabetes. This is especially true in Asian cultures, where the average person eats as many
as four servings of white rice daily.
Why might white rice be bad for you? Study authors say that it has a high glycemic
index (GI), meaning that it is digested and absorbed rapidly, resulting in uctuations in
your blood sugar levels. Foods with a lower GI (such as brown rice) are digested more
slowly and produce more gradual rises in the blood sugar. There is strong evidence that
the risk of diseases such as diabetes type 2 and coronary heart disease are linked to an
overall high glycemic level in your diet.
The upshot? Aim for foods lower on the glycemic index. And next time you order Asian
food, ask for brown rice with your entree. In addition to a lower GI, youll be getting
extra ber, magnesium and vitamins!

S
ally Fraleigh, a former registered
nurse living in Maple City,
Michigan, prided herself on being
independent. At 82, with severe
diabetes, disc degeneration and macular
degeneration that caused some visual
impairment, she was still able to live alone.
But she was having increasing trouble seeing
the small print on her insulin (injectable
diabetes medication) bottles. One day, distracted by her
dogs barking, she mistakenly gave herself a large dose of
her short-acting medication instead of the intended large
dose of long-acting medication. Within minutes, the mix-
up had plummeted her blood sugar to a seriously low level.
Fortunately, I realized my mistake right away, says Sally.
I drank some juice with sugar and called the ambulance,
and I was treated in the emergency room.
Sally is not alone in her experience. According to the
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), 1.9
KNOW YOUR NUMBERS!
Medications are removed from your body by your liver and your kidneys, which is the reason you should
be aware of how well these organs are working, says Robert Gold, PhD, MBA, hospital pharmacist and
instructor of clinical pharmacy at Purdue University, who wrote consumer health book, Are Your Meds
Making You Sick?, out of concern for consumer safety (the book is available at Amazon.com). When these
ltration systems do not work as they should, drugs remain in the body for a longer period of time, which
then increases the likelihood of problematic reactions, says Dr. Gold.
Simple lab tests can determine whether your kidneys and liver are working well, he adds. Ask your doctor
about this testing, especially if you have a chronic condition that may affect the function of these organs,
such as diabetes, hypertension or liver disease.

Once ready, slightly rotate one side of your hip forward and maintain it while
you elevate your knees to your chest area. Return down with control and continue
the motion and when completed your reps, continue with the same motion on the
opposite side when you feel ready. To elevate the intensity level, complete the entire

is purified by a
process of ultra filtration and ion exchange chromatogra-
phy. This fraction is rich in the whey proteins including
their percentages; beta-lactoglobulin (65%), alpha-
lactoglobulin (25%), serum albumin (8%), immunoglobu-
lins IgG, IgA and IgM, glycomacropeptides, lactoferrin,
lactoperoxidase and lysozyme. These fractions are of
immunological, digestive and nutritional importance. The
WPI is produced by further purification using a gentle
cross-flow microfiltration/ultra filtration process to yield
one of the purest and highly concentrated proteins. This
process yields a WPI that is un-denatured or intact
retaining all the beneficial sub-fractions in their natural
ratios. As you can see from the Typical Amino Acid Profile
of WPC Chart, whey proteins are complete proteins
containing all of the essential amino acids that cannot be
synthesized in the body. In fact, the amino acid profile
(proportions and ratios) found in whey is almost identical
to that of skeletal muscle. Simply put, MAXPRO is the
perfect protein for muscle.
Methods of Measuring Protein Quality
There are several valid and reliable methods for evaluating
the quality of a protein. These include the Protein Digest-
ibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS), Protein
Efficiency Ratio (PER) and Protein Digestibility (PD). The
PDCAAS is the current most widely accepted measure of
protein quality as it closely compares to determinations
done with animals. The PER is a measure of the ability of
a protein to support the growth of a young rat represent-
ing the weight gain to the amount of protein consumed.
Researchers define PD as the amount of protein absorbed
into the body relative to the amount that is consumed.
As shown on the Protein Quality Comparison Chart, whey
protein and casein rank highest in the PDCAAS and the
PD making it a superior quality protein for humans.
The WPC, WPI and casein protein fractions found in
MAXPRO are of the highest quality and digestibility and
that is why we specifically select them for the product. An
additional benefit is how well they mix and taste. WPC
and WPI are fast-acting proteins while the casein fraction
is more sustained giving you the advantage of multi-
source proteins for nutrient timing while still delivering the
same high quality. Research suggests that by supplying
the body with high-quality protein every 3 to 4 hours, it is
possible to elevate nitrogen levels and increase the body's
ability to build and maintain muscle growth. Research has
also shown that this anabolic effect is enhanced when
combined with resistance exercise.
MAXPRO Provides a Convenient
30 grams Protein per Serving!
Many of our customers take between 30 to 60 grams of
protein per serving depending on their body weight and
other requirements. By providing a convenient 30 grams
protein per serving, it is easy to calculate exactly how
much protein you are consuming to meet your protein
requirements per day. Additionally, supplementation with
protein 30 to 40 minutes before and 30 to 40 minutes
immediately after strength training results in greater
increases in lean body mass, strength, and muscle size
beyond that achieved by strength training alone.
Mechanisms of the Anabolic Effect of
MAXPRO Whey Protein and BCAA
The three sources of synergistic proteins in MAXPRO
are designed to optimize positive nitrogen balance and
promote lean muscle mass gains. These protein sources
are also uniquely rich in the naturally occurring branched-
chain amino acids (BCAAs) including leucine, isoleucine
and valine as seen in the
Typical Amino Acid
Profile of WPC Chart.
The BCAAs, especially
leucine, have powerful
anabolic effects on
protein metabolism by
increasing the rate of
protein synthesis,
decreasing the rate of
protein degradation
and promote recovery.
The anabolic effects of
both whey protein and
the BCAAs, combined
with exercise, stimulate
skeletal muscle growth
at the gene level.
Muscle protein
synthesis (MPS) is a
complex process and
involves transcriptional co-regulators, myogenic regulatory
factors and the phosphorylation of the mammalian target
of rapamycin (mTOR). Myogenic regulatory factors or
MRFs include Myo-D, myogenin, MRF-4 and myf5 and are
a family of muscle-specific transcription factors that play a
critical role in muscle cell hypertrophy (increases in muscle
cell size). Muscle mTOR is the master controller of protein
synthesis integrating signals from growth factors within
the parameters of the energy and nutritional conditions of
the cell. Muscle mTOR are muscle enzyme activators of
protein synthesis and supported by whey protein and the
branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), especially leucine
and exercise. The positive effect of supplying whey
proteins rich in the BCAAs are mediated through signaling
pathways controlling protein synthesis involves phos-
phorylation of the target enzymes mTOR and the sequen-
tial stimulation of p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (p70 S6K)
through the regulation of mRNA translation and other cell
growth-related responses. The mTOR pathway in muscle
is upregulated during the hypertrophy phase.
Research Supports MAXPRO for
Weight Loss
We generally do not consider whey protein as an effective
weight loss supplement, but newly published research has
shown the benefits of whey protein for weight loss and
reduced fat-to-lean tissue loss (body recomposition).
Healthy overweight and obese subjects participated in the
double-blind, randomized clinical trial ingesting a whey
protein shake twice daily for 23 weeks. Participants were
provided no dietary advice and continued to consume
their free-choice diets throughout the study period. At the
end of the 23 weeks, subjects in the whey protein group
lost statistically significantly more body weight, fat free
mass and waist circumference compared to the other
groups consuming a similar soy protein or an isoenergetic
amount of carbohydrate (placebo).
Benefits of Naturally Occurring Glutamine
MAXPRO also provides a rich source of the naturally
occurring amino glutamine. Glutamine is considered a
workhorse amino acid and the most abundant amino
acid within the body and
concentrated in skeletal
muscle. Glutamine is
often depleted due to
over training, stress and
poor diet. Research
indicates that body
builders, fitness and
other active individuals
often do not produce
enough glutamine
within their liver to
restore critical gluta-
mine levels within a
reasonable time frame
following training.
Glutamine is critical to
minimize muscle
breakdown, remove
excess ammonia (a
common waste product
in the body) and repair heavily trained muscles. Glutamine
also supports immune function, brain function and the
natural production of human growth hormone, which is also
important to muscle recovery and gains.
MAXPRO Promotes Positive Nitrogen
Balance and a Positive Anabolic State
Research shows that a continuous intake of protein
throughout the day is the most effective way to maintain
positive nitrogen balance and a positive anabolic state.
MAXPRO can easily be incorporated into your daily
routine and would be effective before exercise, during
exercise, after exercise, in between-meals and as a
bedtime supplement. This continuous flow of calories and
protein helps to saturate your muscles with fuel and amino
acids for optimal protein synthesis.
Commitment to Quality
At Max Muscle Sports Nutrition we
focus on quality first and are absolutely
committed to providing the best possible
product for our customers. We are experts
at making science-based formulations, espe- cially
protein powders, and have been successfully doing so for
over 20 years. With the vast amount of protein supple-
ments in the marketplace its hard to know which ones are
of the best quality and worth the price. You have all heard
of the saying you get what you pay for and this is so true
with MAXPRO. At MMSN, we work hard to provide our

valued customers with the best value for your money as
thats what you expect and deserve.
There are many behind the scenes factors that affect
quality. Our focus on quality begins with our commitment
to sourcing, purchasing and controlling raw materials
followed by a carefully controlled and government
compliant manufacturing process and finally delivery to
our stores. MMSNs Quality Assurance and Quality
Control Unit adhere to comprehensive and thorough
process specifications and controls to provide you with
the highest quality protein supplement. The first quality
control step is to obtain material ingredient Certificate of
Analysis (COA) on each raw material ordered. Raw
materials are tested for identity and purity using current
valid and reliable test methods for active ingredients and
the presence of contaminants. Testing for microbiological
contamination (e.g., pathogens, yeast, and mold) toxins
(e.g., dioxins and PCBs) and heavy metals (e.g., lead,
mercury, cadmium and arsenic) are also performed. The
second quality control step is to obtain Material Safety
Data Sheets (MSDS) that supports the safety of the
ingredient for humans. We ensure that ingredients we use
are the highest quality and microbiologically and chemi-
cally safe for our demanding customers. MMSN sources
our protein raw materials for MAXPRO
to other third
party products. You may be asking about total price,
number of servings per container, price per serving,
amount of protein per serving and taste. Taste is very
subjective, if you have a hundred different people try
something, most often youll get a hundred different
responses to how it tastes. One thing is for certain, you
dont sell millions of containers of protein powder over
nearly a twenty year time-span if the products dont taste
good enough to want to use on a consistent basis.
Thousands of satisfied customers have praised MAXPRO
as not only being the highest in quality but also rate them
highest in taste. MMSNs Product Development team
spends a tremendous amount of time in the research and
development phase coming up with the richest and most
satisfying mouth feel and taste profile compared to the
overall percentage of protein in the overall product. Very
often, a new customer that has been using a third party
protein in the past will try MAXPRO
and immediately
notice a significant difference in terms of how they
feel, both from a strength and recovery standpoint.
After a few weeks, the results speak for themselves
and this customer now realizes that quality does
make a difference and not all proteins are created
equal. In terms of price, it is important that you
take into consideration the serving size, number of

servings per container, amount of protein per
serving and cost per serving. In most instances
when you compare a MMSN product to other
reputable third party brands, MMSNs protein
powders represent a better value. Remember,
there are cheaper protein powders available to
purchase. They line the shelves of nutritional retail
outlets and can be found on the internet. You may
think that you are getting a better value for your
money, but in fact when you break down the
actual amount of protein you are digesting based
on your bodys ability to assimilate an inferior
protein, often times you end up paying more for
that net amount of protein that your body can
actually benefit from, then had you chosen the
higher-quality protein option.
With MAXPRO You Are Getting
What You Pay For
To reiterate, you have many choices for proteins
supplements and MMSN understands that you
want to get the very best value for your money.
Make sure though you dont mistake value with
the retail price of the protein powder you are
choosing. Sure you may be able to find a protein
powder for less; MMSN does not claim to nor
strive to be the least expensive protein powder on
the market. What we do strive to do is deliver the
very best protein powder at the most competitive
pricing; this is the true meaning of value. With a MMSN
product you can be assured that you are getting the
highest quality product available designed to exceed your
performance expectations. We source the best proteins
available in the marketplace and only from U.S. compa-
nies. As part of our quality assurance and quality control
program, the proteins go through exhaustive testing to
make sure their purity meets our demanding standards.
Additionally, the proteins are blended and filled in federally
compliant cGMP facilities. We are passionate about our
proteins because we know our customers are passionate
about getting results. We will never cut corners to sell you
a cheap protein product. As our QIG states, we guarantee
the quality of each and every protein supplement we
make. Do your bodys engine a favor, and dont ever settle
for less.

their Eastern European counter parts when it came to
competition. Their athletes were dominating not only on the
Olympic stage but also in strength sports and even
bodybuilding, after all the great Arnold Schwarzenegger, a
former seven time winner of the Mr. Olympia title was from
Eastern Europe.
One of these Eastern European athletes discovered by
Max Muscle was IFBB Pro Manfred Petautschnig, weighing
in at over 250lbs SHREDDED just wasnt enough for the
Austrian native, he needed to research and develop a
technique that would help him surpass his already
amazing levels of hypertrophy, but more importantly he
wanted to be able to help others to do the same. His
research led him to our scientifically advanced products
and he combined them with the training pricnciple of
maximum volume overload GIANT SETS!
After the fall of the Iron Curtain many of the secrets
became known to us here in the west, as coaches and
athletes alike defected in order to escape the clutches or
communism. They took up roles in the west as coaches
and doctors and our athletes once again began to
dominate in international athletic competition.
No more was sport something that was merely a past
time, no more was it up to the coach, who was most
likely merely a former athlete, to get what he can out of
an athlete by pushing them physically as far as they could
go. Now we too had scientists dedicated to increasing
athletic performance. Experimenting in fields such
biomechanics, sports psychology and of course
exercise physiology.
This new field of sport science became so successful that
we now have institutes dedicated to athletic performance.
In one of these Sport Science institutes in Eastern Europe
MM Sports Nutrition discovered a bodybuilder who
displayed amazing levels of muscular hypertrophy and vascular-
ity levels that were normally reserved for the FREAKS of body-
building such as Ronnie Coleman and Dorian Yates.
When I asked Manfred how he managed to maintain such
extreme pumps and full vascular looking muscles, he told me
that it was simple really, he broke down the workout from
preparation to the actual workout and finally post workout
recovery. He realized that the most critical point
in his workout to infuse nutrients was that of maximum hyperae-
mia which is defined as an excessive accumulation of blood in
a part of the body in other words THE PUMP!
He went on to say I thought to myself when this blood wave
hits, I need to have MAXIMUM nutrients surfing that wave to the
muscles engorging it with muscle building amino acids.
This infusion of amino acids creates an inflated state of Muscle
Protein Synthesis (MPS) however; this blood wave that you have
saturated with nutrients can be turned into a muscle building
tsunami simply by maximizing your pre-workout preparation,
the workout itself and your post workout recovery. It seemed
that we really were looking at a 3 stage system that would
elevate your muscle building and strength gain into the strato-
sphere! So with this theory in mind, Manfred set about creating
the Max Muscle 3 Stage System, a combination of MM Sports
Nutritions scientifically advanced formulas and the hyperaemia
inducing workout principle of Giant Sets, which allows one to
push every drop of blood possible into the muscle!

20 minutes prior to workout drink one serving of FBX and
PRO BCAA. This pre-workout supplement combination
primes your body for the grueling workout you have ahead
of you. FBXs unique Max Volumizing Matrix creates that
tsunami effect as it increases blood flow dramatically
allowing PRO BCAA to surf that wave creating unbridled
levels of MPS. Its patented Energy & Focus Complex creates
that mental awareness and drive to push through the wall.
During your workout the rate of MPS is increased dramati-
cally, to further drive the rate of MPS we can introduce yet
another anabolic agent by way of Amino Acid Infusion. We
do this by sipping MAX PRO BCAA as we work out, with
more than 11g of branch chain amino acids per serving we
have dosed this formula just right to not only prevent
catabolism caused by training but also to further stimulate
Muscle Protein Synthesis.
We have all heard of the post workout window of opportu-
nity, this is where MPS has been pushed as far as we can
through the workout and now need to replenish our stores
of glycogen and amino acids. Within 10 minutes of finishing
workout drink MAX ARM. The unique blend of carbohydrates
and amino acids stimulate an insulin response, this acts as
a blocker to catabolism allowing the amino acids to further
increase MPS.
