HOW YOU CAN BUILD A FREAKY PROFESSIONAL BODYBUILDER PHYSIQUE

Assuming that you eat right, train properly, and get enough sleep, there are only two factors limiting your growth; the amount of anabolic, tissue building, and catabolic, tissue destroying, hormones in your blood.

Training causes your muscles to process anabolic hormones. To promote the optimum level of growth, you must learn how long to train before resting and allowing your body to replace the anabolic hormones that have been used up. If you over train, all of the anabolic hormones will be used up and the catabolic hormones will start to dominate. If you under train, you will waste some of the natural anabolic hormones that your body produces.

In the course of learning how to maximize your body’s natural supply of anabolic hormones, you will go through some ups and downs. The catch 22 is that even if you do everything right, you will eventually reach a plateau that you cannot break through. The level of growth at which the plateau is reached is predetermined by the amount of anabolic hormones that your body naturally produces. The only way to break through the plateau is to raise the level of anabolic hormones in your blood.

Anabolic steroids artificially raise the amount of anabolic hormones in the blood and permit further growth. Unfortunately, as I discuss in The Steroid Bible, anabolic steroids are illegal and can be dangerous if misused.

During the course of my research for The Steroid Bible, I have tried countless ergogenic products. As I have reported in the past, the vast majority of these products were totally worthless or provided minute benefits that could easily be obtained through a proper diet. Most products currently on the market are merely expensive forms of reconstituted food. They may work wonders for malnourished individuals who don’t have access to supermarkets, but they are a waste of money for healthy individuals. After all the time and money I have spent researching ergogenic products, I have only been able to find one legal product that produces significant increases in muscle size and strength. It is called Growth Factor-1.

Growth Factor-1 increases the level of anabolic hormones, including testosterone and growth hormone, in your blood. This leads to faster recovery times, increased strength, and increased energy. Most importantly, it provides your muscles with the extra fuel they need to blast through plateaus and move on to the next level of growth. Increasing the level of anabolic hormones, especially testosterone and growth hormone, in your blood enables you to break through your body’s natural limitations. It is the key to serious growth and the only way to build a freaky, professional bodybuilder physique.

Growth Factor-1 has allowed me to experience a level of growth that I thought was only possible through the use of steroids. Growth Factor-1 is the only legal product on the market that will enable you to build the cartoon like muscle that professional bodybuilders display.

Growth Factor-1 can be used by men and women. However, women should be warned that Growth Factor-1, when combined with weight training, promotes a level of muscle growth that leaves a woman with a physique that most people would describe as masculine. Women interested in simply toning their bodies should not use this product. Growth Factor-1 should only be used by people who are interested in building extraordinarily muscular physiques.

Growth Factor-1 is extremely difficult to obtain. There is a limited supply available. It will be sold on a first come first serve basis. Order now and try Growth Factor-1 risk free. If Growth Factor-1 does not allow you to build an impressive, muscular physique that commands attention and respect, simply return the empty bottle or unused portion within 60 days for a full refund.

Two Texas Tech students competed for the first time in the National Physique Committee’s West Texas Classic bodybuilding show Saturday at the City Bank Auditorium.

Two Texas Tech students competed for the first time in the National Physique Committee’s West Texas Classic bodybuilding show Saturday at the City Bank Auditorium. Michael Joseph Carter, a senior electrical and computer engineering major from Austin, and Preston Brashear, a sophomore engineering major from Mesquite, were contestants in the novice division of the competition, in their respective weight classes. The show was hosted by andrew Zamora of Lubbock, as well as other local and national sponsors. Zamora said as a first-time sponsor, he hopes to get more people involved and knowledgeable about bodybuilding, as well as help fight the stereotype he believes people have about the sport. “This is not just about bodybuilding, this sport is about nutrition and fitness,” Zamora said. “The contestants train and diet for 16 straight weeks, sometimes more, to get prepared for these competitions.” Lee Thompson, president and chairman of the NPC in Texas, said people should realize bodybuilding is like any other sport, there are just different rules and qualifications to compete. Thompson said winning this competition leads to qualification for the national competition and is the kick off for the 14 Texas competitions of the season. “Everyone should know that bodybuilding is about taking your body beyond where you thought it could go,” Thompson said. “The disciplines and principles you learn in this sport, such as dedication, are used in everyday life to accomplish things you never thought you could.” Carter said even though this is his first competition, he has been training for years, and getting to the competitive level of bodybuilding is unlike anything he has done before. “Bodybuilding is a very taxing sport - competition time is very stressful as well, and I am even having trouble thinking of what I am saying,” Carter said. “Making sure you are going to make your weight class, trying to come in vascular, hard, full and ready the day of the show is something that we all strive for.” Carter came in third in his weight class, and first-time competitor Brashear won his division. Zamora said he hopes to open a collegiate division for Tech students and wants to get more people at Tech and in Lubbock involved and excited about this event. Kathleen Zamora, guest and national competitor, said people do not realize bodybuilding shows are family-oriented events and can be interesting to anyone who cares about fitness. “People need to educate themselves about this sport and figure out what it really means to be a body builder,” Kathleen Zamora said. Carter and Brashear said they hope to continue to compete and take this competition as an indicator for where they will stand in the future. “The biggest reward you can receive from these competitions is the gratification of knowing that you can hold your own among some of the best athletes in Texas,” Carter said. “We do not compete for money, fame or glory; we compete because it sets us apart from all the rest.”

Former Evendale resident Dave Candy recently won the 2007 National Physique Committee National Bodybuilding Championship in the bantamweight class in Dallas.
The National Physique Committee is the largest amateur organization in the United States that governs amateur bodybuilding and fitness for the International Federal of Bodybuilding professional organization.
His first place win at nationals also earned Candy his International Federal of Bodybuilding pro card.
At age 24, he is among the youngest International Federal of Bodybuilding pro card holders.
For the 2002 Moeller High School graduate, weightlifting was always part of his conditioning as a four-year varsity wrestler for the Crusaders.
As an Academic All-Ohio, he wrestled at 119 pounds his senior year.
He set an American Powerlifting Association World record in 1998 for his age and weight class in the bench press, dead lift, and totals.
It wasn’t until his freshman year in college that Candy developed an interest in bodybuilding and the rest is history.
Winning his first competition at the 2003 National Physique Committee Northern Kentucky Open in both the Teen and Men’s Open Bantamweight divisions motivated the Pitt freshman to continue to train and compete.
He won several regional competitions before he captured three national bantamweight titles.
Those included the National Physique Committee Teen Nationals and the National Physique Committee Collegiate Nationals in 2003 in Pittsburgh at age 19, and the National Physique Committee Junior Nationals in Chicago in 2004.
At previous National Physique Committee National Championships, Candy placed second in 2005 in the bantamweight class in Atlanta, and in 2006 he took third place in the lightweight class in Miami.
In July he was the runner up at the 2007 USA National Championship in Las Vegas.
Then he stepped onto the Dallas stage in November in absolutely perfect condition, lean and muscular at 143 pounds to capture the 2007 Bantamweight National Physique Committee National Champion Bodybuilding trophy.
Candy graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences in 2005.
He is a certified athletic trainer, who will complete his doctorate of physical therapy at Pitt in April 2008.

He’s been packing since he attended Ontario High School, and, no, we’re not talking about brown-bagging his lunch.

He’s been packing since he attended Ontario High School, and, no, we’re not talking about brown-bagging his lunch. “I had big arms,” said Omar Holt, whose guns quickly outgrew their holsters on his small frame. “My uncles were into weightlifting in the service and they said, ‘Man, with arms like that, what would your other body parts look like if you started training?’ ” Holt, a wrestler and sprinter for Ontario, decided to find out. More than 20 years and countless bodybuilding trophies later, he has sculpted the sort of physique that puts the bodies of hard-core gym rats half his age to shame. The 41-year-old Mansfield laborer, whose modesty is even bigger than his muscles, will compete for a lightweight crown this weekend at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festival in Columbus. Holt took fifth in his class in last year’s inaugural amateur field. This year, the Arnold Classic is going international, opening to elite amateurs from around the world. Holt’s competition will come from as far away as Malaysia, Mexico and Brazil. “I should have placed higher last year, but I got caught up in watching the women compete and didn’t realize the men were getting ready and lining up to go on stage,” Holt said. “I had no time to get pumped up.” There’s no chance of Holt’s concentration wavering this time. He’s been working out 2 1/2 hours a day, six days a week, in hopes of winning a first-place trophy bearing the name of the Terminator, the Governator … heck, the greatest bodybuilder of all time. “I’m getting better as I get older,” said Holt, who carries only 3 or 4 percent body fat on his 5-foot-8, 154-pound frame when he’s competing. “I’m getting in better, tougher shows. Just being able to compete with highly-ranked guys I know I can do good.” “Aging isn’t really a problem. I’m looking better than ever because my diet is better.” Greg Trail, a personal trainer and manager at Fit One, the Mansfield gym where Holt trains, won the Mr. Ohio title 10 years ago at age 42. So he knows as well as anyone that Holt’s age should not be a deterrent. “When you’re older, there’s nothing like muscle maturity,” Trail said. “Youth don’t have the muscle density. and Omar is willing to diet. That’s what makes him so good. It’s not who lifts the largest amount of weight; it’s who eats the smartest.” Trail began working with Holt in 2005, incorporating more cardio exercises and heavier weights into his workouts while overhauling his diet. “He was doing it the old-fashioned way … starving himself,” Trail said. “I told him to eat more and train heavy. You have to keep all the muscle you can. I basically changed his whole approach, and it was magic for him.” Holt won the overall title at the 2006 Mike Francois Classic in Columbus, almost unheard of in a sport where lightweights see the massively-built heavyweights command the spotlight. His victory certainly caught the attention of Francois, a former professional bodybuilder and the first Arnold Classic winner. “As in biblical lore, David defeated Goliath,” Francois wrote on his Web site after Holt’s performance. “Omar looked spectacular and his conditioning was amazing.” Trail helped put that achievement in perspective. “It means you’re not only beating everyone in your own division, but you’re beating everybody in every division,” he said. “The judges used to favor the bigger guys, but now they are looking more at overall symmetry and definition. Still, winning it as a lightweight, you really have to shine.” Holt has finished first or second in several shows that qualified him for the National Physique Committee nationals, but he’s waiting for the right moment to take that step. “I want to get a feel for things and see how I do in certain shows before I go for nationals next year,” Holt said. “I’ve competed against guys who have finished in the top three or four there, so I know I’d be competitive.” Trail said Holt is ready. “The window of opportunity was still there for me in my early 40s,” said Trail, who was first overall among the Masters (40-and-over) in the 1997 NPC nationals as a light heavyweight. “Omar is going for the open (any age) division, and I’m not saying he can’t still do that, but he’s ready for the Masters big-time. I think he’d clobber it. Every year he waits he’s giving it away. He looks great.” Holt loves to share his success with his two teenage children, Akeem, 18, and Destiny, 13. “I look forward to lifting weights after work,” he said. “It eases my mind and then I can go home and enjoy my kids. If I didn’t lift, I think I’d space out.” Thanks to his family and long-time workout partners Deb Mitchell, a former powerlifting champion, and Robbin Smith, Holt doesn’t need to look far for encouragement. He also doles it out himself to bodybuilding devotees such as amputee competitor John Allen. “When I first started out, everyone wanted to know if I knew Omar,” said Allen, 57, who lost a leg to diabetes five years ago. “I said, ‘Who’s Omar?’ They said, ‘You can’t miss him. He’s that itty-bitty, muscle-bound guy.’ “Omar got me in shape and got me going. He’ll take the time to tell you things, from your workout to your eating habits. I was sneaking out of McDonald’s once when he caught me in the parking lot. He said, ‘What do you think you’re doing?’ It seems like every time I want to eat something bad, he’s there.” Holt sustains himself with oatmeal, chicken, oatmeal, steamed vegetables and oatmeal. Oh, and the support of his friends. “He’s a bashful, low-key guy,” Smith said, “but when he’s on stage you see a different side of him. It’s amazing. You’re like, ‘Oh, my gosh, where’s he been hiding this side?’ ” The folks at The Daily Planet never had Clark Kent pegged for Superman either, did they?
