TELL IT LIKE IT IS.
I read an interesting article on the Testosterone web site recently. The article implored us to imagine what would happen if bodybuilding magazines or supplement companies decided all of a sudden to tell us the truth. Even though it was written as a funny article it was full of............TRUTH.
Just imagine if the magazines did all of a sudden tell it like it is. Here's an example of what a cover might be like:
· Lose That Gut in Only 24 Painful, Agonizing Weeks!
· 20" Biceps in Only 18 Years! Maybe Never!
· Sexy 16 Page Pictorial: Fitness babes You'll Never Ever Sleep With!
· Mr. O's Fave Roid Stacks!
· New Miracle Supplement: Food!
· You'll Never Look Like This Guy on the Cover!
· This issue is NOT our best ever!
Here's one for the supplement companies;
· Buy our brand...........it's just as good as the others.
· Please note, our before and after photo models also use drugs.
How long do you reckon these mags would stay on the market? Not only that, but after only one issue they would have nothing else to write about.
The biggest part of being honest has nothing to do with other people. It has to do with how truthful you are to yourself. Lying to others is rare, but people lie to themselves everyday. They do not remain true to their core beliefs. And that's what is wrong with most mags out there.


The Agony and The Ecstasy
I had an interesting week recently which began on Easter Monday. My son and I went out to play golf at our local course. On the fifth I hit that ball into the cup in one shot! A HOLE IN ONE!!! Many golfers play all their lives and never get one. This was the second of my illustrious golfing career. My son, who is seven, has just started playing golf. He didn't seem to think it was any big deal. I'm lucky there were other golfers at the tee who witnessed my milestone and lauded me with all the necessary back slapping and high five's that should go with a hole in one. I had to get on with my game after a few moments and face the harsh reality that I was not a cloned Tiger Woods, and that the rest of my game that day could be described at best as mediocre.
By now you should be realizing that this is the ecstasy part of the tale.
The following Monday morning I was at the gym squatting . I had gone through a few warm up sets. I was into my first work set at 140kg when on my 6th rep I felt as if a knife had been plunged deep into my left side just above the buttocks. After somehow racking the weight, I fell onto the floor where I stayed for quite a while. As I lay there I thought about how this was my first major injury in many years - and what caused it. Funnily enough, I was also worried that I would not be able to swing a golf club the following weekend!
It has been over a week since my injury. My back is better, but definitely not fully recovered. The injury was, however, a wake up call. I have cut back a lot of my weights and started to concentrate more on good form rather than just pushing heavy weight. I'm experiencing more soreness now and soreness that is deep in the targeted muscle.
I'm still not sure what caused my injury. But I am prepared to accept responsibilty for it. As far as I'm concerned, 99% of gym injuries are a result of poor form. I'm lucky I'm back in the gym with no significant time lost - and no significant injury.
That was my week. I must say though, THE HOLE IN ONE made everything else pale into insignificance!!

WHAT'S NEW?

Androbolin

ANDROBOLIN
SYNERGISTIC TRIPLE STACK

Androbolin is an all natural plant hormone isolated from Wild Yams, Tribulus, and Sterol. The only male Phyto-Hormone on the market today. Androbolin offers its users a unique and potent alternative to synthetic steroids.

Androbolin is a blend of steroid like structures with clinical validation. While the local trials are just beginning, the theory, the international trials and the chemical validation are complete. Designed to aid natural competitors in quicker gains and replace or supplement steroid use., Body Ripped Sports Nutrition has focused on steroid like compounds for steroid like gains. The chemistry is precise and the effects are real.

Androbolin was designed by Body Ripped Sports Nutrition who commissioned the research to a Victorian based research unit. The absorption pathways and chemical interaction were extensively studied. No expense was spared in the 2 year development of Androbolin.

As men age the amount of testosterone we produce reduces. In fact a 40 year old male will produce around 30% of that which an 18 year old does. Often the reduced levels of testosterone lead to reduced energy, reduced sex drive, and a higher fat to muscle ratio.

With continual use of Androbolin, users can expect an increase in lean muscle mass and an increase in strength. Since Androbolin in a natural product, minimal side effects can be expected. Elevated levels of energy, aggression, and sex drive will appear after about 7 days on the product.

Androbolin mimics synthetic steroids in its mode of action. Through the increase in nitrogen retention by the body, amino acids are produced at a greater rate. This allows a higher degree of protein synthesis (muscle cell replication) resulting in an increase in muscle strength and mass.

EFFECTS THAT CAN BE EXPECTED WHILST USING ANDROBOLIN

· Increased Libido
· Increased Mass
· Increased Strength
· Increased Energy
· Increased Recovery

DIRECTIONS:
Suggested intake, 2 tablets twice daily before meals for men and 1 tablet twice daily before meals for women (recommended duration of supplementation is 6-8 weeks).

EACH TABLE CONTAINS: (equal to dried herb)
Tribulus terestris 4000mg
Wild Yam 4000mg
Eucalyptus Globulus (Phyto-Sterol) 10000mg
Total Saponins: 300mg

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

MAX'S Bioengineered  90% WPI

90% Protein - derived entirely from Ion Exchange and Enzyme Digested WPI
Highest Bio-availability of any protein
No Lactose
Ultra Low Fat
No Sugar
Great Tasting - Mixes Instantly
MAX’S Bio-engineered Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) revolutionises protein food. Forget egg whites, WPC, soy protein isolate, caseinates or whole egg, MAX’S Bio-engineered Whey Protein Isolate surpasses all other proteins in the ability to deposit nitrogen to the growth sites in trained muscle. This formula is recommended for serious bodybuilders and strength athletes who require high levels of muscle mass and low bodyfat levels.

WHY IS MAX’S BIO-ENGINEERED WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE FAR SUPERIOR?
This extraordinary new formula combines advanced Ion Exchange Whey Protein Isolate with partially Pre-Digested Whey Protein Isolate to produce a profile of amino acids, peptides and polypeptides that have the highest biological activity of any known protein formula. What this means to you is MAX’S Bio-engineered WPI will help you pack on more quality muscle gains than ever before.

ION EXCHANGE WPI
Until now the process of extracting whey proteins relied on acid treatment and heat drying which unfortunately damaged or ‘denatured’ their molecular structure, making them difficult to digest and absorb. Recent studies show that the new technologies of ion exchange separation, ultra-filtration and cold temperature drying produce an ‘un-denatured’, superior Whey Protein (WPI -as used in MAX) with greater biological activity and more complete absorption and assimilation than all other traditional proteins.

PRE-DIGESTED WPI
Controlled enzyme treatment of Whey Protein Isolate produces a blend of amino acids and low to medium molecular weight peptide and polypeptides, ideal for fast absorption and high nitrogen retention. Like the Ion Exchange process, enzyme treatment does not damage the molecular structure and so the pre-digested WPI remains much more biologically active.

MAXIMUM NUTRITION, MAXIMUM GAINS

MAX’S Bio-Engineered WPI provides a fast and sustained source of amino acids, peptide and polypeptide Whey Proteins to ensure maximum uptake at receptor sites of trained muscles. This product contains only Ion Exchange and Pre-Digested WPI, natural flavour, vitamins, minerals, and a zero kilojoule sweetener. 100 grams of this product contains over 90 grams of bio-engineered protein, the ultimate ergogenic (anabolic/anti-catabolic) food.

HOW TO USE MAX’S BIO-ENGINEERED WPI
MAX’S Bio-Engineered WPI is amazingly versatile. To enhance the protein quality of your favourite foods, add to muffins or pancakes, sprinkle on cereals, add to casseroles, or make delicious shakes.

INBA News
The INBA have a very exciting 2001 developing. After being involved in two major INBA contests last year (The Australian Championships and The Natural Olympia), and promoting the INBA South Australian Titles, I am looking forward to this year's contest. The INBA had a phenomenal year in 2000. The INBA Australian Titles was the biggest contest seen in Australian with over 150 competitors. This was followed up by The Natural Olympia with over 120 competitors from around the world. I felt privileged to be at these shows as it opened my eyes to the professionalism of The INBA.

The INBA could be excused for being satisfied with this exceptional achievement but believe me we are not. The SA contest was the smallest in the country. We have room for lots of improvement here. The INBA has set a target of 200 competitors for this years Nationals. This should be attainable with the incentive of a trip to Hawaii for the Australian team for The Natural Olympia.

This year The INBA SA Titles will be moving to a new venue - the Norwood Concert Hall on The Parade at Norwood. There is plenty of handy parking and most importantly, an abundance of eateries at which to sample after the contest. This year I hope to send more competitors to the Nationals. However, this is really dependent on "bums on seats", so please encourage as many people as you can to attend this year's show.

After witnessing the enormous crowd appeal at last year's INBA Australian Titles, I will be introducing a couples class at the INBA SA Titles. Couples used to be a feature at all contests in the past until it slowly faded from the scene. At INBA contests couples are judged only on routine, so the biggest or most cut don't necessarily win. A couples routine should be entertaining and the two physiques should complement each other. Themes and props are encouraged but not necessary.

After some concerns about entrance fees last year, I have dropped them for this yea'rs show to $20:00. Entry for competitors is free - all you have to be is an INBA Member. The INBA will be awarding a plaque to the best performing State Team. Each State team will be judged on placings, appearance (team uniform etc), and conduct on and off the stage. As State Promoter, I have set a goal to win this plaque for SA.

During the year INBA asked its members for feedback and opinion on banned substances like Dhea, androstendione etc. From the response it was clear INBA members wanted strong leadership and rigid rules. INBA members want to feel secure that the goal posts won't get changed and that they are protected from cheats using any loop holes in the rules.

Last year's INBA Australian and Natural Olympia winner, Danny Chau, has received a major sponsorship from American supplement company, MRM. Danny will be featured in advertising and promotional work around the country. It's great to see supplement companies giving major contracts to Natural athletes, especially as it's these athletes who are the major users of their products.

Australian Muscle will be offering a sponsorship to the overall male and female at this year's INBA South Australian Titles.

Flex Wheeler, who announced in late March he was retiring to pursue other avenues in the sport , said in early April he might be changing his mind. "I've been approached by a company to represent them, and although I don't have to compete in the Mr. Olympia, they would like me to," said Wheeler. He'll make his final decision at the Night of Champions on May 19 in New York, where he's scheduled to hold a press conference. Wheeler said he's begun Olympia preparations, just in case he decides to put a permanent halt to his retirement plans.


Big, bad Marcus Ruhl, who suffered a thigh injury during a guest-posing stint that forced him to miss the early-season shows, headlines a large list of contestants competing at the Toronto Pro Invitational on May 12 and the Night of Champions in New York on May 19. Rumors have been flying regarding the German Giant, last season's Toronto champ and runner-up to Jay Cutler at the NOC. One week he's in, the next week he's still not ready to go. So at this point his entry is not definite.

Australian BB Star Christine Envall (3-time Ms.Australia) recently won her IFBB Pro card at the amateur IFBB division at the recent Australian Pro Show. Other titles Christine won the Overall NABBA Ms World in 1997, 1998 and 2000!
Christine will be making her Pro Debut at the Jan Tana and three weeks after that will compete at the Women's Strength Extravaganza Pro show.Christine is known around the world as one of the most muscular women for her height. She is 5'3" and competes around 160lb.

Milos Sarcev, the man who is trying to compile a record of performing in 100 IFBB pro competitions (he's done 68 so far), will be making his first appearance onstage in Toronto since his near-death experience last year.
