As we stArtApril, we switch our focus
from diet and weight loss
to sports performance.
During the rst three
months of this year we
offered our valued Max
Muscle customers some
great savings on our complete diet- and weight-loss line of
supplements. Beginning this month and up through the month of
June, we will be offering those same great savings on our entire
line of sports-performance products.
The sports performance category is also very comprehensiveand we have products ranging from the extremely popular new
CNS Black, a natural sleep and growth aid product, to the pre-
workout category featuring Full Blown Extreme (FBX) and Full
Blown XXX (FBXXX), to post-workout with Max ARM and Pro
BCAA. There are plenty of great products in this category that can
help you improve your performance, whether its on the athletic
eld in the weight room or recovering from your training.
This month we are combining two of our best performing
products in a Buy-One-Get-One 50 percent off promotion. For
every purchase of 2Tx, our top-selling male performance product,
you get 50 percent off Max ZMA, a night-time hormone support
supplement. Several of our Max Muscle stores have receivedtestimonials from customers telling of the great results they have
achieved by stacking 2Tx and Max ZMA, so we have taken that
feedback and created this promotion in an effort to give more of
our customers who have never tried these two together to do so.
Now is a great time to check them out and benet from the great
savings being offered in the month of April.
Finally, if you havent already heard about MMSNs newest
product, JAVA Red, it is in stores now and combines two of the
hottest ingredients for weight loss today: Raspberry Ketone and
Green Coffee Extract. These two ingredients come in the correct,
most efcacious amounts all in one great formula.
We have already been receiving rave reviews on how effective
JAVA Red is working for our customers; some have claimed ve
pounds of weight loss in just the rst week without changing
anything else in their diet or training program. The best part is
that it's a non-stimulant weight loss product, so if you dont like
the stimulant type of weight loss products, JAVA Red would be a
great supplement to try!

We are truly in a new day and
age for athletic performance.
I have been at the forefront
of the tness industry for
more than 30 years. I go back to thedays when basketball players were
afraid to even lift weights. The players
believed that intense weight training
would affect their shooting. Take a
look at most of the players in the NBA
today. They are shredded, muscular
and extremely athletic. This is far
more than an evolution of the athlete
by participating in their sport. These
guys are eating correctly and training
intensely.
I also recall back in my football days
that only a handful of guys would workout after practice. I was one of those
guys, and we would often endure light
criticism for taking it on a little 'too
seriously.'
Fast-forward 30 years later and
everybody trains after practice or
before. Take a look at the linebackers
and running backs in the NFL. These
guys look like body builders. Once
again, this is not an accident, but these
guys are training harder than ever
FOREVERYOUNG
and are adhering to a very strict diet that
promotes energy and recovery.
Today, there is so much at stake if you
want to become a pro athlete. The status
that you receive is similar to that of the
gladiators of old. We celebrate these
games with thousands of raging fans in
giant stadiums and reward them with
million-dollar contracts. And no one needs
to ght to the death! So why wouldnt the
average high school or college athlete nd
the time to work out a couple hours a day
and try to push himself to the next level?
One of the strongest shifts in training
these days is a focus on working out with
extreme intensity while doing a variety of
creative movements. And while working
to failure and focusing on core exercises
to enhance balance and overall strength isgreat, you need to make sure you recover
properly. Many experts believe that 70
to 75 percent of what you attain from
physical training is dependent on your
nutritional needs. And breaking it down a
step further, the most important nutrient
to help you recover is protein.
Why is protein so important? Protein
breaks down to nitrogen and your body
needs nitrogen to build and repair
damaged muscle tissue from intense
training. When you think about it, a
2-hour basketball practice would result inseveral thousand repetitions of your quad
muscles. Every cut or jump causes your
quad muscles to ex or do a repetition. If
you dont eat or supplement with quality
protein, you will more than likely end up
over trained.
It is important to note that you need to
elevate your nitrogen balance by eating or
drinking protein every 4 hours or so. When
you ingest protein, your nitrogen balance
climbs up over approximately a 2-hour
period and then falls over a 2-hour period.
So as a result, your nitrogen balanceincreases for about a 4-hour period. This
is why most nutrition experts promote
ingesting 15-30g of quality protein 4-5
times per day depending on your weight.
Maintaining a positive nitrogen balance by
eating frequent protein meals can mean
doubling your lean muscle gains!
I encourage you to stop by your local
Max Muscle store. Our trained staff can
simplify this and help you get started on a
new leaner, meaner physique.MS&F

TELOMERETROUBLESAccording to researchers at CarnegieMellon University, telomeres (theprotective caps o DNA on the ends ochromosomes) are not only a predictoro how well you will age but howhealthy youll be along the way.
Telomeres have long been known asa biomarker o aging; they shorten aswe age, a process which is associatedwith age-related problems such ascardiovascular disease and cancer.But other actors besides aging areassociated with shorter telomeres, suchas heavy drinking, use o tobaccoproducts, stress and anxiety provokingquestions about those younger than age
50 with shortened telomeres and theirsusceptibility to disease.
In the study, researchers measured thetelomere length o white blood cellsrom 152 healthy volunteers aged 18-55. The study participants were thenexposed to a cold virus. Those olderthan age 22 with the shorter telomereswere more likely to come down with acold, leading the investigators to believethat telomere length may be a consistentmarker across the lie span and that it
can start predicting disease susceptibilityin young adulthood.
What to do to increase your telomerelength? Its most important what youdont do. Telomeres are shortened byexcessive ree radical damage, withsmoking and heavy drinking at the topo the culprit list. Eating plenty o ruitsand veggies can help to mop up reeradicals, though. And a ew studies havesuggested that a diet rich in Omega-3atty acids, ound in oily cold water fsh,
can help to delay telomere shortening.
SCARING YOURSELF SKINNYWeve all heard of scaring yourself silly. But scaring yourself
skinny? Turns out theres an added benet to watching
those horror icks burning extra calories. A new study by
researchers at the University of Westminster found that thosewho watched a 90-minute thriller zapped an average of 113
calories the equivalent of a half hour walk.
According to the study authors, those jump
scare moments in certain movies pump up
the heart, leading to a spike in adrenaline,
which lowers the appetite, increases the basal
metabolic rate and burns calories. The top three
calorie killers in the study: The Shining (184
calories), Jaws (161 calories), and The Exorcist
(158 calories).

FOOD: ACULPRIT
IN ACNE,AGAIN
Back in the day, acne was blamed on
dietary indulgences from chocolate
to sugar and fat. But beginning in the
mid 60s, several important research
studies suggested that the development
of acne was unrelated to nutrition.
Today, research is showing that while
acne may not be caused by foods, in
some individuals it can be aggravated
by foods. A team of dermatologists
and registered dieticians from New
York Medical College and New
York Universitys Department of
Nutrition, Food Studies and Public
Health recently conducted a literature
review of studies done between 1960
and 2012 exploring the diet-acne
connection.
What they found? Those who had the
highest dairy consumption and those
with a high glycemic load diet (think
white bread, rice and pasta, potatoes,
sugary drinks and most sweets) had
a higher incidence of acne. As for
dark chocolate you can relax. A
small amount of the semi-sweet treat
has a fairly low glycemic load. And
its choc-full of antioxidants and
favonoids that are thought to be goodfor your heart and blood vessels!

vividly a time when shefeared that her son Scott,
who suffered from severemental illness, might shoot someone.He had become very paranoid;
he asked my husband repeatedly toshow him how to shoot a gun so hecould protect himself from federal
agents he felt certain were trying toassassinate him, she recalls.
Tragically, continues Pacharis,
author of Mind on the Run: A BipolarChronicle, Scott turned his destructivethoughts into action upon himself,
ending his own life at age 40.

the timely and effective treatment of severe mental illness.
An anatomical condition in the brain called anosognosia,
or lack of insight or awareness, causes these people not to
recognize when theyre ill.
And if you dont recognize youre ill, you arent necessarily
going to cooperate with medications and psychiatric care.
Even if you wanted treatment, the right kind of treatment
is often unavailable, says Dr. Reiss. Theres been a whole
movement to do away with state-run psychiatric hospitals,
which was well intended, he explains. But plans for careafter people were discharged werent implemented. And
funding for treatment was cut more and more.
In fact, according to the Treatment Advocacy Center,
deinstitutionalization has reduced the number of public
psychiatric hospital beds by more than 95 percent from
their peak numbers 50 years ago. And according to the
National Alliance on Mental Illness, about 30 states have
reduced mental health spending since 2008 dramatically
reducing treatment options for thousands of people.
The result? These people are in the streets, waiting for
treatment for months and months, some committing minor
crimes that land them in jail, an environment which in
many situations, they cant tolerate, says Dr. Reiss. Sothey often act out and hurt someone in jail and end up with
more serious charges.
Eventually, many are back out on the streets, left
untreated because jails are under no obligation to provide
mental health treatment. And in the worse case scenario,
they spiral into yet more severe mental illness, leaving
them at risk for harming themselves or innocent others.
Whatis thesolution?Arststep, saysPacharis, isto
change civil commitment codes (which vary from state
to state) so that treatment interventions can be made
with family involvement, and based upon a need for
treatment rather than as many states require, evidenceof dangerousness to self or others. Theres no reason
why we cant use common sense in protecting those with
mental illness and those within the community, agrees Dr.
Reiss. If you look at the analogy of seizure disorder, a
persons neurologist can make sure that the drivers license
is taken away until they are seizure free for a certain length
of time.
Another step, one that the Treatment Advocacy Center
is actively working on, says Fuller, is to make more use
of assisted outpatient treatment (AOT), which is a system
mandating seriously mentally ill individuals being released
from hospitals, jails or prisons to get the treatment they
need in order not to relapse. In other words, selectedseriously mentally ill persons must take medication under
court order as a condition for living in the community.
Inaddition,xingthefederalfundingsystemiscrucial,in
order to assure that monies are available for mental health
outpatient and inpatient (when necessary) treatment.
As for the gun issue: gun reform is important, but its
not the entire answer, says Fuller. Nobody wants guns in
the hands of those with severe mental illness. But you can
take all guns out of the hands of those with the most se-
vere mental illness and disordered thinking, and untreated,

L
ike many of you, I am not a huge
fan of cardio workouts that include
being indoors on the treadmill, ellip-
tical, stationary bike or stair-climber.
Instead, I prefer to get a good
cardio workout through functional move-ments or playing sports, such as basket-
ball. Many of us tend to get bored with the
same cardio routines that we often avoid
it or just dont do it at all. Like you, I know
that cardio workouts are an important
building block to improving endurance and
to achieve and maintain a t and healthy
physique.
According to the Mayo Clinic, regular
strength and endurance training help
you burn calories more efciently and
effectively. As you get stronger, you wont
fatigue as easily. Building endurance canbe accomplished in many different ways
a player will last the entire game, as well
as the entire season. I have compiled ve
different basketball drills that can be per-formed either at an indoor gymnasium or
an outdoor basketball court. Most of these
drills I remember fondly from my college
days.
Complete the following ve exercises
for three rounds. This workout should take
you approximately 30 minutes. The goal of
this series of drills is to increase strength,
agility, speed and endurance to improve
your basketball game, as well as the game
called life. Whether you played basketball
in the glory days, currently play or have
never played at all, you too can performthese drills and reap the benets.
and in various venues. The key is, nding
what works for you, sticking with it and
achieving the results you are looking for.As a former collegiate basketball player, I
often think back to the workouts we would
perform in practice. I am reminded of how
tired and exhausted I was performing the
required drills and how intense the training
was. Obviously basketball is not a distance
sport in terms of the duration of activity
or exertion. In fact, it is quite different
than what is required of a distance runner.
Instead basketball consists of short bursts
of activity and energy over a long period of
time.
For a basketball player, it is critical tohave a level of endurance that will ensure

In todays world, we are conditioned to believe that beauty
should be based upon how we look. But how can you look
beautiful if you dont feel it? Max Muscle is proud to dispel this
myth through two revolutionary products, emerge and
Max EFA, that will help you achieve overall beauty from the
inside out!
Just ask Jen Stevens, who in 2011, found herself in the worst
shape of her life. Years of yo-yo dieting and obsessing over her
weight resulted in poor body image and a lack of self-
confidence. With the help of some very special people and her
local Max Muscle store, not only did Jen find the help she
needed, she also discovered these two revolutionary products
that helped her reach her fitness goals and achieve
all-over beauty!
Getting the Skinny on emergeEvery year, people make New Years resolutions to finally lose
weight. But somehow, inconsistency and lack of motivation
due to not being able to see results often get in the way of ever
realizing this goal. But Max Muscle has your best weapon yet:
emerge, a great-tasting powder that mixes with water to
provide a powerful fat loss and body composition slenderizing
system specially formulated to inhibit appetite, promote the
release of fat from stored fat cells and accelerate the burning
of fat for fuel.
emerge contains clinically proven weight loss ingredients to
suppress appetite, provide maximum calorie burning specifically
from fat, increase energy and elevate the bodys metabolism.
The combination of selected ingredients promotes a metabolic
shift that scientists describe as fuel portioning by shifting the
burning of fat as fuel rather than fat for storage.

Armed with an arsenal of results-driven good-
ness, emerge also contains a patented ingre-
dient called Advantra Z which is an extract of a
citrus fruit and has been shown to be effective in
fat breakdown, thermogenesis, appetite control
and ultimately, in increasing the ratio of lean
muscle to total body mass. While this ingredient
increases the metabolic rate, helping to burn
more calories, it does this without increasing
heart rate or raising blood pressure. Amazingly,
Advantra Z has also been shown to improve
athletic performance.
Jen Stevens of Walnut Creek, Calif. is a believer
after losing 20 pounds using emerge.
I stopped working out completely, she says
after landing her dream job in the beauty indus-
try. My job left me with little time to eat decent
meals and I often turned to fast food out of
convenience. It didnt take long to see how much
weight I had gained and that took a toll on my self-esteem. Im only 52, so
20 pounds is pretty noticeable! Shed tried several fad diets, diet pills and
powders in the past that left her feeling horrible and moody and knew that
she needed help from an expert.
Stevens was on a mission and, not only hired a personal trainer to get back into
shape, but also turned to her local Max Muscle store in Walnut Creek to enlist the help
of owner, Kenny Tali, to help with her weight loss goals. Tali evaluated her diet, made
suggestions and quickly recommended
emerge to assist Stevens in losing
the unwanted weight. She used one
scoop in the morning, another scoop
mid-day, and then half a scoop in the
afternoon, Monday through Friday, for
eight weeks. She could see her body
changing dramatically as she became
more toned. The results were motivat-ing and gave Stevens the encourage-
ment to get to the gym daily.
Amazed by the transformation,
Stevens personal trainer, Chris
Lavado, suggested that she try bikini
competitions. In June 2012, Stevens
stepped on stage for the first time and
placed seventh in a deep field of
competitors. Since then, she has
competed in a total of four bikini
contests, including a national-level
show, and now has aspirations toearn a pro card in the near future.
Stevens credits emerge for not
only helping her lose 20 unwanted
pounds, but for helping her get into
competition shape. I couldnt have
lost the weight without it, she says. I
love how it tastes and that I can take it
without feeling moody or jittery or
crash from it. I have a major sweet
tooth and emerge saves me from
binging on bad foods and keeps me
on track!

Max EFA Get Your Fat On!Not all fat is bad for you. There is the bad fat that collects on your
body and clogs the arteries and then there is the good fat, also
known as Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), which your body needs to
function properly.
EFAs are specific fats that are critical to the proper function of your
body. Your body is not able to produce these fatty acids on its own, so
its necessary that you eat a diet rich in these crucial building blocks to
maintain a healthy body. Unfortunately, most people dont eat the righttypes of foods that meet the minimum recommended daily allowances
of EFAs. But, Max Muscle makes this easy to attain with Max EFA,
an easy-to-consume supplement in softgel form.
Max EFA contains flaxseed oil, wheat germ oil, conjugated linoleic
acid (CLA) oil and borage seed oil, all essential fatty acids that will help
you to achieve improved overall health. Essential Fatty Acids have a
ton of benefits on your body and its cells. They help with cellular devel-
opment, the formation of healthy cell membranes and regulate blood
pressure, immune responses and liver function. EFAs also help with
blood clotting and breaking down cholesterol and, the oils from EFAs
also lubricate the body from the inside out, instantly supporting the
new growth of hair, skin and nails.
When Stevens decided to try her hand at bikini competitions, Tali not
only recommended emerge for weight loss, but Max EFA for
overall health. I like my athletes and customers to use it because of
all the healthy, good fats found in the product, he explains. The
omegas make the hair and skin look so healthy and in turn, feel good
about their appearance as well. Stevens took two softgel capsules of
Max EFA twice a day, every day. After only 10 days, she noticed a
big improvement in her complexion, hair and nails. The results were
amazing! says Stevens. Almost immediately, I could see the change,
but to have other people notice, too, thats how I knew it worked. Ive
never gotten so many compliments about my skin and hair until I
started using Max EFA. And, when shes not competing, she
continues to use the product daily. Why wouldnt I? Stevens says.
Its made such a difference! I honestly look and feel more beautiful.

MAXCHAMP By Amanda Freeseman, 2012 MaxForm Life Challenge Champion
BEAT THEPLATEAUT
his time last year when I was competing in
the MaxForm Life Challenge, I came acrossmy rst plateau. Up until that point I was
seeing close to the same results week after
week, but all of a sudden my progress seemed to
slow down to a crawl and my muscle gain along
with my fat loss became very stubborn. After about
two weeks of not seeing much progress I
decided to make a change to overcome
my plateau.
First, I knew that I needed to
change up my workout routine. To
start, I increased my cardio from
30 minutes ve days a week to
40 minutes six days a week.Next, I added a few extra
interval training sessions to my
cardio sessions every week. My
favorite interval workout was
1 minute sprints/1 minute
rest. Since my knee issues
prevent me from actually
sprinting, I would do my
sprints on the elliptical
by moving my feet as fast
as I possibly could, then I
would move very slowly for a
minute to catch my breath,and I repeated this for 40
minutes. I also changed
the type of cardio
I was doing on
occasion; I started
doing cycling,
jogging on a
treadmill and the
rowing machine
on occasion.
The next
change to my
workout was withmy lifting. I began
incorporating
active rests in
between my sets,
such as jumping
in place, mountain
climbers, sit-ups and
jackknifes. Doing
these exercises in
between sets, rather
than just sitting
around, helped me burn about 300
more calories per workout on averageaccording to my heart-rate monitor.
The last change I made to my
workout was incorporating drop sets
so that I could start increasing the
weight I could lift. This worked best
for me by doing two sets normally
with heavy weight, then on my last
set, lifting as many reps as I could
with that weight, then dropping to a
weight one level lower and doing as
many reps as I could at that weight.
After doing this for a few weeks, I
was eventually able to increase theweight I could lift for several of my
routines, especially my shoulder
sets.
While I was making these changes
to my workouts, I also made a few
tweaks to my diet to speed up my
metabolism. First, I focused on
keeping my sugar count below 25g
daily. To help achieve this, I stopped
eating fruit and dairy, I eliminated
milk (drank almond milk instead)
and stopped eating Greek yogurt.
Instead of eating every 3 hours, Ibegan eating every 2 hours. I also
stopped eating all carbs after 3 p.m.,
including corn and tomatoes. For
dinner, I would only eat lean meats
and brous vegetables. I made sure I
was drinking a gallon of water every
day and carried around a gallon jug
to ensure this.
Making these small changes helped
me get through my plateau during
my MaxFormation. There are several
different methods for overcoming a
plateau, so if these suggestions donot work for you, then try changing
something else. My advice is when
you make a change, stick with it for
at least one week before analyzing if
it is working for you or not.
The online community at
MyMaxMuscle.com has great advice
as well for overcoming plateaus (that
is where I got most of my ideas!) so
make sure to create a prole and join
the conversation today.MS&F

I was so busy with work, family and trying to just keep up witheveryone around me that I let myself go, and I gained 20 lbs.
so fast I didn't even notice! What I needed was something to just
help me break down that wall to get me started and help to build
the momentum I needed to achieve the healthy and fit body I so
desperately wanted back! EMERGE is exactly what I needed to
help stop my bad eating habits, and keep my energy levels up.I didn't feel weird or jumpy, so EMERGE was my daily go to partner
in my battle to fight off the extra pounds! I lost 20lbs and
competed in my 1st Bikini competition. EMERGE
was the extra boost to keep me motivated and
achieve the results I wanted. Now I am so muchhappier in my own skin! Thanks to EMERGE I am
back on track!

I wanted to make a definite lifestyle change and neededsomething to spark that change. With the help of my
Certified Nutrition Coach and EMERGE, I was able to lose
120 lbs. and check a major goal off of my bucket list by
competing on a figure stage in Folsom, CA. To think on
the first day of my journey, I could barely do 15 minuteson a treadmill! Hard work, dedication and consistency has
been the ticket. If we treat our body well, it wil treat us
well. I am 47 and in better health than I have ever been.
EMERGE has been a wonderful staple in my program
for success.
Joan Bohrer,

and tness goal? He had no problem
laying this out:
During my participation in the
MaxFormation, like most, I am sure, I
had doubts. I had thoughts of failure
and I was downright scared at times.
I quickly realized that I had to make
more changes in my life than just eating
and exercising, he shared. My father
used to tell me 'surround yourself with
successful people and you will become
successful.' That is what I did.
Chris began to use the online blog on
MyMaxMuscle.com daily, even multiple
times a day during the 2010 year. Hehad to take a step back and eliminate
some friends out of his life. I kept the
ones who supported me and let the ones
go who did not, he said. He made new
friends who were living the active and
t lifestyle. He also became more open
at the gym, forcing himself to break the
mold of the shy, fat guy.
Mark and Fernando became his
sponsors, and they would always bring
him back in check, helping him re-focus
Chris Chisholm headed into the
2010 MaxForm Life Challenge

hoping to nally get those
unwanted pounds off and look a little
better in the mirror. That year, the nal

and Chris made it into the top three.
Three years later, Chris proudly
exclaims that Max Muscle saved his life.

Chris has since trained with. Those two

Chris Chisholm, a runnerup in the 2010 MaxForm
Life Challenge contest,
credits Max Muscle for
saving his life. Here is an
update on how he's doing
these days.
on his goals if he began to stray. Making
the lifestyle change was NOT easy, but it
was NECESSARY, Chris admitted.
Now, three years later, he keeps
getting better, he's more active, he feels
better and he's looking better. I am
nally the person I knew I was inside,
he said.A quick visit to Chris prole on
MyMaxMuscle.com shows hes become
one of the more popular, credible
resources to many. His advice to them
is nearly all the same: Get a support
group! Just like AA, obesity is an
addiction to food though. Beating itrequires you to have a sponsor, a great
support group and above all, a desire
to beat it. Medical studies have proven
that less than 1 percent of obese people
are that way due to a physical condition,
leaving more than 99 percent of them
dealing with mental addiction.
Chris Chisholm found all that at Max
Muscle Sports Nutrition. You can, too.

Afterward, you probably wondered, "OK, what's her secret?"
