| SportPharma's Cold Months Stack: Be a Lion in Winter |
The winter months can wreak havoc on one's body. Everything can spiral downward in a moment's notice. The cold temperatures cut through your skin like knives, leaving you feeling ill, drained, and lacking motivation to get out of bed in the morning. When you're a hard training athlete, you can't afford to be bed ridden for days at a time. You need to keep your system running optimally through the winter months. Consistency is how you get ahead in any sport. Without it, you're just “spinning your wheels”.
First and foremost, you want to get your nutritional bases covered. With the cold weather looming, you need to be sure your body and its immune system are ready to fend off all attackers. Aside from the standard vitamins and minerals, SportPharma's Multi-V contains added nutrients to help your body remain in working order. With added greens, antioxidants, immune support, energizers, and digestive enzymes, your body will be ready for the worse conditions that the winter season can bring.
Just as the bitter winter weather can batter one's immune system; it can do just as much damage to one's joints. When arriving at the gym, be sure to take a few extra minutes to warm up. A quick 5 minute loop on the exercise bike can be a great way to get your body into motion for the workout ahead. Just as one wouldn't immediately drive their car after starting it in the middle of winter, one should never jump right into resistance exercise without a thorough warm up. Take it one step further and provide your joints with the added benefit of SportPharma's Joint-V. Comprised of 5 key joint support nutrients, Joint-V works to keep your joint health covered from all angles. Joint-V will keep your joints in great shape while you continue to pound the iron during the rough winter season.
Nutrition is a very important aspect of staying healthy during the brisk season. Eat healthy and you'll remain healthy. But sometimes we need a bit of extra energy to get ourselves going. When you can actually “see” the cold by staring out the window, often times it's a reason to just crawl back into bed, wasting away. For those days where you're lacking the energy to get up and head to the gym, throw a scoop of SportPharma's CARB Max into your shaker cup. CARB Max is a high quality carbohydrate blend balanced with both fast and slow digesting carbohydrates. This ensures a steady flow of glycogen into the blood stream, keeping your muscles anabolic and functioning optimally. With a quick 20g influx of carbohydrates, you'll be injected with extra intensity, allowing you to get up and get going even during the laziest of days. To add even more to your energy cocktail, add a scoop of Vanilla Just-WHEY to the Citrus CARB Max for a delicious anytime shake.
Keep these core supplements in mind as the winter season rears its nasty head. By following this protocol, you'll be able to prepare your body for the worst that winter can throw your way. Be sure to have a healthy diet, rich in protein and complex carbohydrates as well. Let this be the first winter where you progress instead of remain in neutral, or go backwards. When the smoke clears, and the birds start chirping, you'll be standing atop the mountain, way ahead of the pack.

| Balance |
bal•ance - noun 1. a state of equilibrium or equipoise; equal distribution of weight, amount, etc.
When it comes to striving towards any goal in life, you must remain balanced. Letting any single event, obstacle or barrier consume your entire life can and will lead you nowhere. You'll end up alone, by yourself, wondering when you took that wrong turn.
The world today contains too many individuals that live a secluded and stressful lifestyle. They work incredibly long hours at their jobs, only to come home and try to fit in a quick workout before heading straight to bed once they get home. Before they know it, a few years have been chipped away. Health in the United States is no where near where it should be. Those aforementioned long hours at work translate to poor nutrition. T.V. dinners should not make up the majority of one's diet, yet it seems that most people don't have time to muster up anything more.
In any course of action, balance is essential. Bodybuilding is no exception. Too many times people put all of their effort into building their bodies. They shut out their friends, families, and sometimes they even turn over a cold shoulder towards their work.
You want to be the strongest guy in your gym? By all means, go for it. But remember who you are, where you came from, and what made you who you are up to this point. Keeping those facts up front will enable you to strive towards your goal without losing sight of what's important.
Unless you're in contest preparation for a bodybuilding show, it's OK to stray away from your diet every once in a while to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary. Taking a day trip with your friends or family should be a fun and enjoyable experience. You shouldn't have extra stress placed upon your shoulders because you're worried about bringing a cooler full of food, or worrying about the workout you're going to miss. Family is the most important thing a person has. Don't ever let something come between you and your family. Turning into a mindless drone who only thinks about working out will eventually lead to complete loneliness and isolation.
We all want to train like warriors, and that's fine. Train like a warrior when you're in the gym. Push every set to the limit. Leave everything on that gym floor. Walk out the doors knowing you gave it your all. That is how progress with your body is made. But progress with your overall development as a person begins and ends with finding that correct balance in life.

| Using Your Head to Make Headway |
With the abundance of information and misinformation out there today, people have a tough time figuring out how to train correctly. Just when you thought you found the “perfect” training routine, another magazine comes out with one that promises even better results. Then you tend to second guess your current program, jump ship, and hop into the new one. This cycle can be a never ending catastrophe. Your body needs time to adjust to a new program before it starts producing results. The problem is that most people don't allow their bodies enough time to adjust before they're on to the next “great thing”.
In the end, every training program works, to some degree. They all offer great tips, advice, and general outlines to keep your workouts in check. But its not what training program you're using, rather its how you're actually going about the training program. There is a big difference between just “working out” versus actual “training”.
There is a reason why bodybuilders are able to move big weight. Next time you see one in the gym, take a close look at how they're actually performing the exercise. Instead of just yanking the weight up and down, you'll see that they are making the muscles do the work. For example, when you're doing a dumbbell curl for your biceps, you need to make sure you're actually pulling with your bicep muscle to bring that dumbbell up. If you're just heaving that dumbbell up, you're not working the biceps the way you should be. Therefore, you'll never see legit gains. This applies to all body parts. When doing a bench press, be sure to keep your body fixed. Use your chest muscles to push that bar up. Don't overuse your shoulders, triceps, and legs just for the sake of pressing up heavier weight. Doing it this way won't get you anywhere. Before you start your set, picture your chest squeezing together while pushing the weight up into the air.
This is what is called the mind-muscle connection. Once you've tapped into this powerful union, your gains will come much more rapidly than in the past. Too many people become infatuated with pushing heavy weight without worrying about working the muscle or maintaining proper form. What happens? Years down the road, they're still pushing the same weights because they're not directly working the intended muscle. In the beginning, you'll have to use less weight than what you're used to. You'll be focusing solely on working one body part instead of the secondary muscles. As you continue to train this way, your muscles will grow at a quicker rate. Soon enough you'll be pushing the weight you used to push when using your primary and secondary muscle groups together. At that point, you'll know you're making some headway.
Make your time in the gym count. Building muscle is a simple process, yet it becomes far too complicated with all that is available in terms of theories and programs. Walk into the gym, train that particular muscle group, and head home. Don't worry about pushing huge weight and wasting hours in the gym each night. If you focus on making that one muscle do the work, you'll save countless hours, days, even years in the gym. Years down the line, you can either be light years ahead of where you are now, or you could still be struggling to press the same weight on that bench press bar. The choice is yours.

| The SportPharma Supplement Essentials |
Everyone wants to improve. That's why we all sign up at the gym. The rituals of going to the gym and taking supplements seem to go hand in hand in today's world. Supplements can be of great benefit whether you're trying to shed some fat or pack on some clean lean mass. The problem is that there are so many products out there, your head might spin when trying to determine the right ones for you. Let's iron out a few myths out there and put together a list of supplements that are to be considered “staples”-products that, no matter what, should be a part of everyone's arsenal. Think of these as making up the Essential Supplement Stack.
Multi-V
Man, woman, young, old, bodybuilder, or casual lifter, everyone needs a multivitamin. Aside from the daily activities a person goes through, a gym session can take a serious toll on your system. Exerting intense energy for an hour or more depletes the body of essential nutrients. By taking a well rounded multivitamin, you're giving your body everything it needs to function optimally.
Supporting optimal nutritional balance, SportPharma Multi-V gives you a complete and potent vitamin and mineral formula along with other key complexes, such as greens, anti-oxidants, immune support, energizers, and digestive enzymes. Take 2 Multi-V capsules every day.
Just-WHEY
The first thing people talk about when you walk into a gym is protein. For good reason, as protein helps build muscle and burn fat. Protein consists of amino acids, which are the building blocks of muscle tissue. Among the critical roles protein plays are repairing cells, building and repairing muscle, boosting immune system, strengthening bones and reducing stress. If you're dieting correctly, you should be getting in protein at every meal, and you should be having about 6 small meals per day.
But sometimes it's hard to meet the target amount of protein through whole foods. How much chicken, steak, and tuna can one person eat in a single day? Time constraints due to work, personal life, and commuting, just to name a few, can cause one to miss a meal or not have enough time to eat a full meal.
This is where Just-WHEY can help. With its own blend of whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate, it's a perfect source of quality protein in a hurry. Just throw one scoop into a shaker up and you're all set to ingest 20g of high quality protein. Even better, Just-WHEY is extremely versatile: you can add milk, fruit, or whatever else you think might make a good mixture for a tasty smoothie. For best results, consume 1-2 scoops twice daily, with one serving immediately after your workout.
Joint-V
As mentioned before, working out on a daily basis can really take a toll on your body. If you're in this sport for the long haul, you have to protect your joints. Years and years of pressing heavy iron will cause some unavoidable wear and tear on your joints.
In order to keep everything functioning at optimal levels, pick up Joint-V. Joint-V is comprised of 5 key joint support nutrients that work together to keep your joint health covered from all angles. Using a winning combination of glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, hyaluronic acid, and ginger root, Joint-V is designed for hard training athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. As a whole, Joint-V can help aid in the support of healthy cartilage, lubricate joints, maintain healthy cell membranes, combat inflammation, and support digestion. Add Joint-V to your supplement cabinet and take 3 tablets per day with a meal.
Just Creatine
As the essentials round out, you have an option to add in a creatine product to your arsenal. Creatine is a proven sports nutritional supplement. Safe, effective, and repeatedly tested, creatine assists in helping to increase muscle energy. For those looking to take their physiques to the next level, Just Creatine should be another staple when it comes to your monthly supplement purchases. With Just Creatine, you get the purest creatine monohydrate on the market-Creapure.
Why creatine? Muscle cells store creatine in the form of ATP in the body. When lifting weights, muscles contract and ATP is lost. When ATP is depleted, the muscles become fatigued. By implementing a solid creatine product like Just Creatine into your routine, your body will be able to regenerate ATP more quickly, thus delaying the onset of muscular fatigue. This means you'll be able to workout longer, harder, and you'll notice strength gains as well.
For any hard training athlete looking for an added boost, Just Creatine is where it's at. Throw a serving in your post workout shake along with Just Whey and you're covered in all areas. Mix 1 teaspoon with 6-8 oz of your favorite beverage. For best results, take during normal training periods.
So there you have it-the Essential Supplement Stack that any and all athletes should get their hands on if they're serious about progressing toward their individual goals. No matter what you're looking to do, these basic supplements should be a mainstay in your supplement cabinet. Let's break this down with an easy to follow guideline:
Multi-V: 2 tabs per day
Just-WHEY: 1-2 scoops twice daily (one serving after your workout)
Joint-V: 3 tabs per day with meals
Just Creatine: 1 teaspoon with 6-8 oz liquid after training

| SportPharma Shake Recipes |
Whether you've been in this game for a while, or if you're just starting out, chances are your first few dollars and cents will go towards restocking the protein in your cupboards, cabinets, and counter. We all know that protein is necessary for building muscle, and sometimes it's tough to consume 6-8 meals per day just to cover your protein requirements. Protein powders have been around for years now, making it easier for everyone to reach their target protein requirements. After years of formulations, new ingredients, updates, and tweaks, protein powder flavors have come in full swing in terms of taste. Back in the 1970's, protein powders were a very bland tasting mix; not something worth looking forward to. Nowadays, there are endless choices when it comes to flavors. But sometimes you still need to spice it up a bit.
Different strokes for different folks. Different people, different types of protein shakes. When you are trying to gain some mass, you want calories made up from quality, protein, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. For those looking for a lower calorie shake, a smooth protein powder can be combined with some fruits and milk to create a tasty treat. When you're done training, you need quick digesting proteins and carbs so that your body can get the essential nutrients ASAP so it can start recovering/growing. For every instance there is a shake made for that moment. When the particular time arrives, put together one of the following shakes and you are good to go.
Mass 101
2 scoops Gain Max Chocolate
2 scoops Gain Max Vanilla
18 oz skim milk
Ice cubes
875 calories, 4g fat, 126g carbs, 82g protein
This shake is simple and very easy to make. SportPharma has some of the best tasting flavors out there. And this shake does not disappoint. Another option would be the chocolate/strawberry combination. While bulking up, try to drink one of these shakes 1-2 times per day, with one of them coming after your workout. For the post workout shake, throw a serving of Just Creatine in there. For those looking for post workout recovery without a large amount of calories, your shake is coming up next.
Post Workout Shake
2 scoops vanilla Just Whey
2 scoops Citrus Rush CarbMax
1 serving Just Creatine
16oz cold water
364 calories, 44g carbs, 40g protein
If you know a thing or two about building muscle, you know that post workout nutrition (PWO) is the most important meal of the day. At this point, your body is depleted and broken down. You need something to kick start the recovery process to help you grow. What do you need? First, you need simple carbs; carbs that can get into your system quickly and flood your muscles with nutrients efficiently. Combine that with some protein to help rebuild the muscles and you've got a winning combination. The Vanilla Just Whey combined with the Citrus Rush flavored Carb Max might be one of the best combinations out there in terms of flavor. For this shake, we will use water. We don't need to slow down the digestion with milk. We want fast absorption here. Throw in a serving of creatine to top it off. This shakes taste like a delicious creamsicle. Be sure to use cold water.
On the Go
2 scoops Strawberry Just Whey
12oz skim milk
1 banana
458 calories, 2g fat, 51g carbs, 54g protein
When you are short on time, you need something to hold you over. Sometimes we need a quick fix to feed our bodies as we head out the door to class, work, a meeting, or some other important task. The milk will help slow down the digestion, allowing you to stay fuller for longer. The banana will add some extra carbs to the shake, giving it enough calories so that you won't be hungry moments later. You can't go wrong with this strawberry banana shake.

| CARB Max: Ultimate Performance Fuel |
Carbs help you grow. There’s no way around it. Sure, protein supplies the body with essential aminos to help build new muscle, but carbs are the driving force that gets the protein where it needs to be. In its most simplistic form, carbs give you energy. Without carbs in the body, you’ll go into a catabolic state. In this state, your body will turn to its own muscle for energy: a hard training athlete’s worst nightmare.
Carbohydrate intake surrounding your training session is of the utmost importance. Without proper pre and post workout nutrition, your training session will mount up to nothing but wasted time. Society today has built up a black cloud around carbohydrate intake by selling numerous “low-carb” diets that are supposed to be “proven” to work. On the contrary, when it comes to carb intake, timing is the make-or-break factor. Proper carbohydrate timing will determine the results of your hard work in and out of the gym. Take in good amounts of quality carbs both pre-, intra- and postworkout.
Prior to hitting the weights, you need to give your body some type of quality carbohydrate. Throw a serving of SportPharma CARB Max into your shaker cup with some water and fuel up. This will give your body ample energy to help power you through the toughest of training sessions.
Topping off your glycogen stores, CARB Max provides your body with both fast and sustained released carbs that include waxy maize, maltodextrin, d-glucose, and trehalose. This specialized dual action Quad Carb blend consists of high-molecular weight and low-molecular weight carbohydrates helping to ensure a steady flow of glucose into the blood stream, allowing them to maintain their anabolic nature. This dual action blend found in CARB Max is designed to decrease muscle catabolism, enhance muscle and liver glycogen resynthesis as well as assist in promoting faster recovery and providing fuel for high intensity training. Added electrolytes ensure proper rehydration and replacement of key electrolytes that are lost through sweat while training. Whether you’re an endurance athlete or bodybuilder, the addition of carbohydrates during training can help sustain energy levels and assist to maximize overall strength output and athletic performance.
Once the training session is complete, grab yourself another serving of SportPharma CARB Max. Postworkout supplementation is one of the most important meals of the day. At this point, your body is completely depleted of its glycogen and needs fuel to help recover. By supplying your body with a quality carbohydrate blend such as CARB Max, you’ll give your body the essential nutrients it needs to start repairing and recovering from intense workouts. Mix in a scoop of Just-WHEY and prepare for quick recovery. By adding in some Just-WHEY protein, CARB Max’s high quality ingredients will help shuttle the protein and amino acids into the muscles at a fast rate, kick starting the recovery process. CARB Max is simply a great tasting way to get more out of your workouts. |
| Basic Joint Supplementation for Athletes |
Building your base. When you train for a sport, you need to ensure that your body is prepared to handle the rigors of competition. Who can rightly go into competition without practice or proper training? Sure, you can try but be prepared to lose and to be beat convincingly by a better prepared opponent. At the same time you can relate this to your supplementation. There are tons of fancy supplements out there that promise you everything under the sun. But what good are these promises if you haven't even built your base? You can't expect to realistically lift large weights on a consistent basis if you only train on occasion.
What most athletes fail to recognize is the importance of having a solid base underneath the muscle. What good is having a lot of muscle mass if it's built on a structure of weak joints, ligaments, tendons and cartilage? If you're building muscle on top of a weak foundation, you can only get so far. A weak base can potentially limit your overall development. So what can you do?
Smart training, proper rest and eating a good diet should come first and foremost. Once you've got that covered, this is where some solid joint support should come into play. Ensuring that your joints are supplied with the right nutrients is the first step. Enter Joint-V by SportPharma. SportPharma Joint-V was designed with the hard training athlete and fitness enthusiast in mind. It's comprised of 5 key joint, ligament and cartilage support nutrients.
Here are the 5 key components that make up Joint-V: glucosamine, chondroitin, msm, ginger root and hyaluronic acid. Glucosamine sulfate acts as an important building block of joint tissue and aids in the support of healthy cartilage and other connective tissue, even blood vessels. Chondroitin is another ingredient that you often see combined with glucosamine in joint formulas. Chondroitin is one of the major constituents of cartilage. It helps to provide structure and draw fluid (water) and nutrients, and also allows other molecules to move through cartilage, which is important because cartilage does not contain blood vessels, so there is no blood supply to cartilage.
Joint-V also contains a healthy dose of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which is a natural source of sulfur. Sulfur is a very important to the human body. It's the eighth most abundant element in all living organisms and is found in many types of bodily compounds, ranging from enzymes and tissues to hormones and antioxidants. Sulfur also occurs in connective tissue, particularly in component called collagen. Ensuring the body has a constant supply of sulfur is critical for joint health. Next up is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is found in every tissue in the body. It's a key component of cartilage and helps assist in regulating synovial fluid to keep joints lubricated properly. Lastly, ginger root rounds out Joint-V's support blend. Ginger root is added to help combat joint inflammation as well as to support digestion. It's also a potent antioxidant that's been show to assist in stimulating circulation and protecting the liver and stomach.
Five components, five new ways to ensure that your foundation is strong, that your footing is sure. Five powerful joint support nutrients easily condensed into a mere three, convenient tablets. Top quality ingredients, proven on the field and in the gym and delivered at a wallet-friendly value. That's Joint-V. That's SportPharma. That's quality you can build on.

| The Importance of a Well Balanced Multivitamin |
From the time that we are able to function without a diaper, eat our food with silverware and drink a beverage on our own, we're told by our doctors and parents about the importance of taking a multi-vitamin supplement. They start us out with some sort of tasty low-dose chewable children's multi. As we grow older, they move us on to a very basic generic one-a-day multi, and usually that's what the majority of us stick with. Good enough, right? For some, maybe. Most people don't care to look into what is actually in that generic multi they've been using for years, because hey, if a doctor told us it was good enough, than it must be.
Just what are the formulas of generic multis based on? Well, because vitamins and minerals are so important for one's health, the FDA has formulated a recommended consumption level for vitamins called Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs). Generic multis are based on these RDAs. What are RDAs based on? The RDAs account for the amount one would need to take in order to prevent deficiency diseases. That's right, just enough to prevent deficiency.The RDAs are simply enough to prevent disease in a sedentary individual and not an amount needed to maintain maximum health for those with an active lifestyle. But what if you lift weights and play sports? What benefit does your average generic multi have for a real athlete?
The needs of a hard training athlete are hardly ever taken into consideration by our doctors, the FDA, RDAs and persons whom formulate your average generic multi-vitamins. Their goal is to make the formula as cheap as possible and mass market them to death, not keeping the athlete in mind whatsoever. What you end up paying for are ads and commercials. When I ask athletes what supplements they use, I often hear them mumble out a multi, maybe some sports drink and not much else. Oftentimes, they aren't even able to tell me what type of multi they are using, just that it's some kind of store brand multi that their doctor told them to use. They bring me in the multi and when I take look at the supplement facts, I'm often surprised at how inadequately dosed and incomprehensive they are. Definitely not what a dedicated athlete should be building their supplement plan around.
What most athletes don't take into consideration is that a good multi can pay big dividends down the road. When you're performing at high levels day in and day out, whether it be weight lifting, running, swimming, cycling, etc., you need balanced nutrient support for your active lifestyle. A good, balanced multi provides you with the correct daily dose of key vitamins and minerals, plus added antioxidants, enzymes and support nutrients that assist your body in performing at optimum levels. If you are low on essential vitamins and minerals, your body can break down and your performance will be hindered.
This is where SportPharma's Multi-V comes into play. When you're adding extra stress to your body by playing sports and working out hard, you need nutritional support that is formulated specifically for athletes .In such cases somegeneric formula just won't cut it.Multi-V is formulated for the hard training athlete and fitness enthusiast alike. It is jam-packed with over 40 support nutrients that act as a key cornerstone for your foundational health needs. The V in Multi-V is symbolic of the Roman numeral V, or 5. Why the symbolism? Well, Multi-V is a complete formula that is packed with 5 key complexes in addition to its already comprehensive vitamin and mineral profile.
Multi-V is packed with nutrient-rich green superfoods like spirulina and chlorella. Greens are currently in high demand in the supplement world. Loaded with micronutrients that ensure overall health, the superfood blend found in Multi-V is the first of the multifaceted general health components designed to optimize performance and heighten general wellness.
Potent anti-oxidants such as alpha lipoic acid, grapeseed extract, CoQ10, lycopene and lutein further bolster the robust health-promoting benefits of Multi-V. Antioxidants are touted for their ability to combat free radicals and to fight the oxidative stress that may be responsible for disease and cell damage.
Immune support factors including citrus bioflavonoids, garlic, zinc and selenium help to fight illness and protect agains germs and environmental stresses that leave the human body susceptible to sickness, especially during flu season.These risks are further compounded by those with active lifestyles as their training and athletic endeavors put an even greater strain on their recuperative ability.
Natural energizers like green tea, choline and inositol further differentiate Multi-V from the rest of the pack. Using compounds found in nature to help promote alertness, vitality and overall feelings of well-being, Multi-V enhances performance and the vigor with which we meet daily tasks.
The fifth and final stage of the Multi-V formula is comprised of a digestive complex that includes the enzymes bromelain and papain and betaine HCl. Digestive support is a critical but so often overlooked aspect of supplementation. The macronutrients and micronutrients we ingest, no matter how healthful, have very little nutritive value if unable to be properly processed and assimilated. In this instance Multi_V once again meets your needs by exceeding the standard set by its average and ordinary competitors.
These special added complexes are important for hard training athletes who need a more all-inclusive profile than their couch potato counterparts who may be satisfied with a generic multi-vitamin formula. Hard working athletes can't afford to let their performance suffer due to a lack of proper nutrition. Multi-V is there to act as nutritional support for your most strenuous endeavors. Multi-V, five ways to a healthier life, in just 2 tiny pills per day. Only from SportPharma.
