We have been proud to be a partner of Beverly International ever since we have been training clients. For those of you who use Ultimate Muscle Protein(UMP), you know that is a versatile, great tasting and convenient way to fuel your body.
There are a couple of different ways I use “UMP”.
Post-Workout:
Studies have shown that a carbohydrate AND protein formula is more effective for rapid replenishment of muscle glycogen after exercise than a carbohydrate only supplement of equal carbohydrate or caloric content.
In other words, just drinking a “sports drink” after your workout doesn’t cut it. The research indicates you need to fuel your body with just the right combo of carbs AND protein. And yes, this is hyper-critical to optimizing your efforts.
That’s why after training I always add carbohydrates to my Ultimate Muscle Protein, usually in the form of fruit (blueberries is my favorite) and some rolled oats. This is an awesome post workout shake!
Pre-Bedtime Snack:
The other way I use UMP is as a healthy snack an hour or so before I go to bed. A scoop of chocolate UMP, 2 teaspoons of natural peanut butter, and some water is all I need to satisfy any hunger and help the body repair itself as I sleep.
I love UMP and it will always be part of my nutrition. However as you may know we also partner with Prograde Nutrition, and I wanted to let you know about their post-workout supplement “Prograde Workout”.
You may be thinking “IF UMP is so great why would you need ‘Prograde Workout’?”
A fair question, so here some reasons you my want to give it a try:
Yes, Prograde Workout recovery drink is based on this very research. It provides the right combo of protein and carbs that your body craves after a tough training session.

Make It Happen,

I know I am, and it’s only partly because of this beard I am letting grow in during our recovery week from Get Fit NH Bootcamp.
Speaking of the beard, it’s a little grayer than last time I let the whiskers grow a little in. Funny how that happens.
I get asked sometimes why I train, you know “spend all that time working out. You can’t stop the aging process you know.”
Truth be told it is my goal to train more this year than last. And the only way to “stop the aging process” is to die. Not on my list this year, but that is out of my hands.
The poet Dylan Thomas wrote of death and dying “Do not go gentle into that good night”, and isn’t that really why we train?
Not in a quest for immortality, but to keep our minds and bodies sharp as long as we can.
Not to deny we are getting older, but to be better as we age.
To take care of the precious gift of life we have been given, not to abuse it with excess of anything, maybe especially food.
So why I am getting itchy?
Because I personally have a passion to train, and I have even more of a passion to help others reach their fitness potential – to lose bodyfat, get stronger, feel better – BE better.
Are you with me?
Is your fire burning?
Are you ready to put aside the things that are pulling you down, to let go of the excuses, cast off the toxic people who tell you it can’t be done?
Is your body ready to get back into action, to struggle against the sweat and the pain?
Soon enough, my friend.
Just a few short days until January 4th – when we will step back into the arena and go to war with ourselves.
Are you going to be there?
Why would you miss it?

My Dad grew up working on a farm, and if you have ever heard of “farmboy” strength, you know that he was a strong dude! He used to tell me stories of hoisting a bale of hay in each hand and throwing them into the barn loft – that’s strong!
He was fast too. When I was about 15 we were doing some roofing on the big chicken house, about 20 feet up a ladder. For some stupid reason I smarted off to my mother and headed as fast as I could down the ladder. He was on me so fast I didn’t know what hit me. So much for being stronger and faster (or evidently smarter) then the old man. Ahhh, good times!
So anyway he sent this list on holiday eating tips, so having wised up a bit, I figured I would share them with you too.
Thanks Dad!
One final tip: If you don’t feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven’t been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.
Have a great holiday season!!
Merry Christmas
I read a blog post this morning that I just had to share with you…NOW!
It reminded me how often we are all prone to making excuses for what we do or do not have.
The blog highlighted a passage from the Napoleon Hill class “Think and Grow Rich”, and no matter what you think about the book or it’s premise, this is still VERY relevant for the mindset that many of us can dwell on and wallow in.
Thanks to Bedros for the great reminder!
“FIFTY-FIVE” FAMOUS ALIBIS FROM OLD MAN “IF.”
– Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich.
“People who do not succeed have one distinguishing trait in common. They know all the reasons for failure, and have what they believe to be air-tight alibis to explain away their own lack of achievement.
A character analyst compiled a list of the most commonly used alibis. As you read the list, examine yourself carefully, and determine how many of these alibis, if any, are your own property. Remember, too, the philosophy presented in this book makes every one of these alibis obsolete.
IF I didn’t have a wife and family . . .
IF I had enough “pull” . . .
IF I had money . . .
IF I had a good education . . .
IF I could get a job . . .
IF I had good health . . .
IF I only had time . . .
IF times were better . . .
IF other people understood me . . .
IF conditions around me were only different . . .
IF I could live my life over again . . .
IF I did not fear what “THEY” would say . . .
IF I had been given a chance . . .
IF I now had a chance . . .
IF other people didn’t “have it in for me” . . .
IF nothing happens to stop me . . .
IF I were only younger . . .
IF I could only do what I want . . .
IF I had been born rich . . .
IF I could meet “the right people” . . .

IF I dared assert myself . . .
IF I only had embraced past opportunities . . .
IF people didn’t get on my nerves . . .
IF I didn’t have to keep house and look after the children. . .
IF I could save some money . . .
IF the boss only appreciated me . . .
IF I only had somebody to help me . . .

IF I lived in a different neighborhood . . .
IF I didn’t have a “past” . . .
IF I only had a business of my own . . .
IF other people would only listen to me . . .
IF (PAY ATTENTION) I had the courage to see myself as I really am, I would find out what is wrong with me, and correct it, then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others, for I know that there is something WRONG with me, or I would now be where I WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them.”
