Now You Can Build Muscle Faster Than Ever Before
- Lift Heavier
- Get More Reps
- Take Less Rest Between Sets
by Roger Riedinger, Beverly International
Let's face it. There are enough training and nutrition theories to fill a
complete set of Encyclopedia Britannica's. But realms of muscle building
philosophy really come down to just one thing. You must overload your muscles
by progressive exercise in order to grow.
Milo of Croton is credited with this discovery. Milo lifted and carried an
infant calf each day from one end of his pasture to the other. As the calf
grew so did Milo's strength and muscle size. By the time the calf was a full-grown
bull Milo was the biggest and strongest guy in the land.
Fact or fiction? Who knows? What's important is Milo set the stage for progressive
weight training as we know it today. To get bigger and stronger you must
progressively add weight to the bar. It's really that simpleà At first,
anyway. Then progress halts. You might add weight to the bar but your reps
drop. Maybe if you rest a little longer between sets you can get the reps...
It happens to all of us. We reach a plateau. Muscle and strength gains stop.
I'm in the same boat as you. I've been training since I was fourteen. What
I've learned about training and nutrition in the forty plus years since could
fill a book. But progressive training still comes down to just three variables
û increase the weight on the bar, increase the number of reps without
decreasing the weight, or rest less between sets. If you progress in any
of these three variables, muscle gains will follow given proper nutrition.
Nutrition wasn't my problem. After all I own Beverly International. We make
the highest quality products in the industry and I have access to all of
them. My problem is sticking to my diet and supplement schedule while a million
and one things pull me every which way. I need something easy. Something
to help me make strength gains. And something to help me recover faster between
sets so I can reduce my training time without decreasing volume or intensity.
You've got to remember I was already taking high tech Beverly formulas. My
nutrition was kind of maxed out by now. So what else was left for me to do?
I'd been looking at various creatine formulas out there and I was utterly
unimpressed. Some of the best selling products out there have nearly ten
times as much sugar as actual creatine. Sure it will spike your insulin.
So will cotton candy. Sugar makes you fat! Period. There is no way Beverly's
going to put all that sugar into a creatine "transport" system.
Next I looked at insulin support nutrients. I was still unconvinced. Why
pay for what you don't need.
Then one day it hit me... Creatine Phosphate, Duh!
Sure, I knew the creatine phosphate molecule was too large to be absorbed
and that's why we use pure 100% pharmacological grade Creatine Monohydrate
at Beverly. But, it didn't dawn on me until now that we could combine select
creatine monohydrate with selected phosphates in the proper ratio to achieve
a product that would increase strength, endurance and muscle size.
Not creatine phosphate but...
...creatine monohydrate PLUS phosphates.
Now it was time to do the research. Here's what I found:
Hundreds of research studies on the benefits of creatine monohydrate and
phosphates individually and two very significant studies where creatine and
phosphates were combined.
- The creatine plus phosphate group had a significant increase in muscle
power. This translates to more weight on the bar. (Wallace et al, 1997.)
- The combination of creatine plus phosphates out performed the creatine
only group by nearly 300% in aerobic work capacity, i.e. more reps in the
gym with the same weight. (Eckerson, 2001.)
- So I had our lab find the correct ratio of creatine and the specific
phosphates used in the research. Then, without me even knowing they added
an excellent orange flavor and a small amount of an extremely high-grade
maltodextrin. (They know that I don't like simple sugar so they used a predominantly
five-chain saccharide which is classified as a complex carb.) I received
sample A and sample B.
The first thing we did was conduct a taste test. The lab used the same research
proven creatine to phosphate ratio but varied only the flavoring ingredients.
Sample B won hands down. So that was what we decided to use in our field
study.
Then, I decided to "hog" the product. For five days I loaded sample Bûfour
servings per day. A serving is one 12g scoop. And the scoop actually reaches
the bottom of the jar. By the third day I was already noticing my rest periods
were getting shorter and shorter between sets. Then after the loading phase
I took just one scoop (sometimes two) before training. My weights and reps
kept going up. Now I've used creatine before and I certainly have been training
long enough to know when something is out of the ordinary. Here I am, fifty-five
years old and getting stronger. What's up with that?
I'll tell you what! The Beverly labs created a state of the art supplement
that works fast CREATINE SELECT Plus Phosphates.
Try CREATINE SELECT Plus Phosphates for Yourself... Here's How
For anyone who has reached a plateau and wants to start gaining again: Stir
one scoop in 4-6 oz. of water. For faster results, consume 4 servings daily
for the first 5 days. Then consume one or two servings daily. Best times
are pre or post training, or just before a meal on non-training days. (This
way you get to use the natural insulin production that occurs maximally with
balanced meals rather than relying on expensive insulin mimicking substances.)
For maximum gains in strength and size:
Combine one or two scoops CREATINE SELECT Plus Phosphates with one serving
Beverly Mass Maker before and/or after training. Take it before training
and you will have one of the best workouts of your life û GUARANTEED!
Research (and my own experience) has shown that the combination of Mass Maker
with CREATINE SELECT Plus Phosphates gives you the greatest creatine uptake
possible to date. There is nothing on the market that can even touch this
combo for fast results.

Training and Performance
Creatine Select Plus Phosphates allows you to train harder with greater intensity
and recover faster. Increase training poundages and the number of reps you
can get with a given weight. Reduce your rest between sets for added intensity.
Here's Why CREATINE SELECT Plus Phosphates is Superior to Other Forms of
Creatine
There is no doubt that pure creatine monohydrate is one of the most effective
supplements on the market. But the fusion of creatine plus phosphates makes
a good supplement into a super synergistic supplement combination.
For creatine to be effective in the muscle cell it must combine with a phosphate.
The amount of creatine that is utilizable is dependent on the amount of phosphate
your body has available. If there is not enough phosphate then your muscle
will load less creatine. Adding phosphates allows your body to load and retain
more creatine. In short you'll increase your strength and muscle mass.
The presence of additional phosphates during exercise can improve your body's
ability to regenerate ATP. More ATP results in more reps with less fatigue.
