New Product-Whats your thoughts???

NO-Xplode is the world's first and only pre-workout supplement that produces immediate results in energy, size, strength, pumps, performance, mental focus, and training intensity... You will literally see and feel it working within minutes of taking it!
.
NO-Xplode has the unique ability to get you dialed in and pumped up for every single workout by inducing the strongest and most advanced nitric oxide, creatine, and body-mind stimulating surge ever developed in a supplement. No other products can say that! No other products can do that!
By Chris Ferguson, President & Chief Product Formulator For BSN
.
How serious are you about gaining muscle, Friend? Since you're reading this article, you must be pretty serious. That means you're probably spending up to 200 hours a year or more pumping iron. That's a lot of time and effort --a lot of sacrifice. There are four issues that must be addressed every time you hit the weights in order to make it a muscle-building success. Nail each one, and your muscles will leave the gym with their "growth switches" turned fully on. Miss them, and your muscles may not grow at all (hence "growth-less" workouts).
.
What are these 4 issues?
.
ENERGY: Your mind, body, and muscle must be jacked up and ready to go from start to finish. If they aren't, you won't be able to sustain the type of workout that stimulates maximum growth.
MENTAL FOCUS: Just being jacked up isn't enough. Your energy needs to be channeled exclusively to the task of lifting. Unfocused energy is like a chicken with its head cut off. The connection between your mind and your muscles must be unbreakable.
WORK INTENSITY: To make your muscles grow, you've got to make them sustain a high work rate. Translation: Do more work--lift heavier weights--in less time. To do this, you've got to be supercharged with muscle building nutrients, and be able to battle intense fatigue and win.
MAXIMUM PUMP: This muscle volumizing experience is the foundation of your growth. Many people get a pump during their workouts. But most fail to get a maximum pump. The result? Most people are not satisfied with their muscle gains. How satisfied are you with yours?
.
I considered the 4 issues stated above. Then I examined the thousands of different bodybuilding supplements on the market. I realized that there was a gaping hole: There was no pre-workout supplement designed to address all 4 of these critical issues simultaneously.Yeah, a lot of supplements talk vaguely about '"energy"--a general kind of stimulant effect. Others promise a "pump" (and fail to follow through). But not a single supplement talked about achieving (1), (2), (3), and (4) SIMULTANEOUSLY -and certainly not within minutes of use!
So, I Decided To Fill This Hole in Supplementation
-not with smoke and mirrors, but with an entirely new type of bodybuilding supplement, a supplement designed to prepare you for, and carry you through, for the most intense, growth-stimulating workout possible. After all, at this point, I'd been training for over 16 years, and left many workouts failing to achieve at least one of the four factors listed above. Until very recently, it wasn't uncommon for me to leave the gym feeling like my muscles' "growth switches" weren't fully turned on. The new species of supplement that I formulated is called NO-Xplode (Pronounced - N-O-Explode). It is the world's first pre-workout supplement designed to produce immediate onset surges of ENERGY (factor #1), MENTAL FOCUS (factor #2), WORK INTENSITY (factor #3), and MAXIMUM PUMP (factor #4), creating the perfect environment needed to maximize every single workout.
.
Suggested Use
On Training Days: As a dietary supplement, take 2-3 scoops with 8-12 oz. of cold water or any beverage of your choice 30-45 minutes prior to your workout (on an empty stomach). To achieve maximum results, avoid eating a meal or drinking a protein shake within an hour of taking NO-Xplode.
.
On Non-Training Days: As a dietary supplement, take 1 scoop with 4-8 oz. of cold water or any beverage of your choice (on an empty stomach). To achieve maximum results, avoid eating a meal or drinking a protein shake within an hour of taking NO-Xplode.
.
Note: To avoid sleeplessness, do not take within 4 hours of bedtime. Taking NO-Xplode with food or on a full stomach will diminish its effects. Additionally, while taking NO-Xplode it is ideal to keep L-glutamine powder supplementation to 10 grams or under per day. Taking a product that contains ephedrine will also diminish the effects of NO-Xplode. To fully benefit from the vaso-muscular volumizing effects of NO-Xplode it is recommended to take it everyday, and consume 120 oz. of water per day and a diet that is rich in protein and carbohydrates. Every individual's body chemistry and weight will determine how long it takes for NO-Xplode to induce its maximum effects. Many individuals may notice the initial energy, mental focus, and volumizing effects within 5-15 minutes of ingestion. These effects tend to become progressively more pronounced every few minutes thereafter. Others may begin to notice initial signs within 30-45 minutes of ingestion. Again, these effects tend to become progressively more pronounced every few minutes thereafter. NO-Xplode induces its maximum energy and vaso-muscular volumizing effects within 1-5 hours after ingestion.

So what are your thoughts - Do we try this stuff or what??

Determination / Motivation????

Determination

Determination is one the greatest assets we can possess. Determination can bring out the best in us. Determination is the tool we use to defeat discouragement. Determination is the tool we use to overcome temporary failure to prevent failure from becoming permanent. Determination is the tool we use to produce patience. Determination is the tool we use to feed our faith and starve our doubts to death. Determination builds character. It helps us become a more reliable person. It helps us meet our commitments. It helps us prioritize and manage our time to maximize positive results. Determination is the tool we use to give us the will to win. Determination is the tool we use to help us win in spite of our limitations. Determination is the tool we use to dig ourselves out of a hole. Determination is the tool we use to improve our relationships. Determination is the tool we use to reach our goals. Determination is the tool we use to succeed. By Linzy Davis
.
A Definition of Motivation
Motivation can be defined as a concept used to describe the factors within an individual which arouse, maintain and channel behavior towards a goal.
.
What type of comments have you heard while living the BFL life style???? Do these comments motivate you or do they chip away at your motivation and determination to succeed??? Most of the negative comments I have heard come from those who do not want you to succeed where they have failed or they just don’t understand the BFL life style.
.
Why is this program so important to you???
Why do you worry so much about fitness???
When are you going to start eating real food?
You will never be able to keep the weight off!
You look great, why are you working out so much?
Come on, let’s go out tonight and have a few drinks!
.
Why can’t we hear more of:
.
What are your keys to success?
What keeps you motivated?
You are looking great.
You’re doing a great job!
.
What types of comments have you heard from your co-workers, friends, fellow trackers, and family while working your butt off? Please give me the good and bad!!!

EAS Presents:Phosphagen Elite

EAS Presents:
Phosphagen Elite
Fourth Generation Creatine!
Boosts Muscular Strength And Power And Delays Muscle Fatigue!
.
Phosphagen Elite the proprietary, patented FGC formula, a revolutionary technology designed to delay the lactic acid "burn" that stops your set cold. Phosphagen Elites ingredients help produce carnosine, a buffer against the lactic acid that limits your short-burst exercise power.
.
Using Phosphagen Elite may help you:
Boost work capacity, muscular power output, and strength-endurance
Enhance the ability to squeeze extra reps at the end of each set
Aid athletes in moderate distance sprints
Help maintain muscular power Phosphagen Elite is a fourth generation product of advanced creatine that actually helps creatine work better in the muscle. It contains FGC, a proprietary, patented technology containing Beta-Alanine that aids in the production of carnosine to buffer lactic acid and delays muscle fatigue ? MORE REPS. Phosphagen Elite will boost an athlete's muscular strength, power, and distance sprints. It improves power output over creatine alone.
Phosphagen HP has been researched for over six years. Phosphagen Elite prolongs the usefulness of creatine during exercise by boosting the body's ability to tolerate lactic acid. Other products claim to boost creatine storage in muscle, which is beneficial only in the loading phase. Phosphagen Elite with Beta-Alanine should enable users to complete more physical work over a short period of time, (i.e., run faster over short-to-moderate distances, perform more reps in the gym).
This product will be unique in the marketplace as the first creatine
product that makes creatine work better.
.
Q&A
Q: How is Phosphagen Elite different from other creatine products?
A: Most specialized creatine products these days are comprised of creatine plus ingredients believed to increase creatine uptake by muscle (i.e. sugars and insulin supporters). While you might realize the effect of creatine sooner by itself, the additional benefits of the added ingredients over straight creatine is minimal after several weeks. Phosphagen Elite goes beyond enhanced creatine storage. It is an advanced creatine technology that works to support creatine use while in the muscle. Specifically, Phosphagen Elite includes FGC…quot;a proprietary, patented fourth generation creatine technology that may increase strength and energy.
.
Q: What results can I expect from taking Phosphagen Elite?
A: Phosphagen Elite was designed to boost fat-free mass, sprint performance (in cycle ergometer tests), and bench press strength in conjunction with an intense exercise program. Most notably, Phosphagen Elite will help boost work capacity, muscular power output and strength-endurance in exercise bouts up to four minutes. In the gym, you may experience greater muscle endurance at the end of each set. Athletes may discover enhanced "short-burst" intensity and muscular power during the course of a game.
.
Q: Who should take Phosphagen Elite?
A: Phosphagen Elite can be used by all types of athletes. For example, sprint athletes (i.e. 200m dash) and repeat-bout athletes (i.e. football, hockey) require burst speed in short sprints…quot;sometimes causing a buildup of performance-hindering lactic acid. The buffering effects of Phosphagen Elite should allow these athletes to work to capacity for short bursts. In addition, other athletes that sprint on a more limited basis may benefit as well. As another example, tennis and soccer players are limited by lactate and creatine phosphate availability during repeated intense efforts, and may also benefit from the product. Of course, the ingredients in Phosphagen Elite are beneficial for fitness enthusiasts as well to support increased strength and power, leading to more muscle and improved body composition.
