The Size Performance Holy Grail

• UNCOVERED DECIPHERED!

2
Clues Were Separated, Discovered Strung Together

• Mechanisms of muscle protein synthesis (MPS)
  within our control
• Energy substrate saturation
• Volumizing
• Nutrient timing and composition
• Hormonal manipulation by diet
• Amino acid signaling
• Unaccustomed exercise
• Training focus capacity
• Vasodilation blood flow in out of muscles
• Strength size reciprocation
• New key takeaway
• All are potentially unique, synergistic
  additive contributors to MPS

Nutrient Timing CompositionGreatest outcome is
predicated on arrangement formulas

• Hitting MPS from all angles
• Ingesting known effectors of each mechanism at
  ideal times around food unaccustomed exercise
• Diet management of hormones (primarily insulin)
• Delicate balance in maximizing the anabolic
  starter hormone and blunting cortisol
• Design diet to amplify all effectors and allow
  their contribution to be (1) unique, (2)
  additive, (3) synergistic
• Pre/post quick digestion food strategy that
  leverages metabolic windows
• Proper normal meal patterning
• New key takeaway
• Gradual activation of all may overwhelm the
  bodys natural tendency to plateau because the
  opportunity for anabolism is always there when
  unaccustomed exercise is the stimulus

Basic Food Plan Basic to Maximize Hormonal
Interplay

• Pre post-training/event snacks
• Your pre-training snack should be consumed 10-40
  minutes before activity post snack immediately
  after WO/ or 30min post AAX. The pre/post snack
  is usually in liquid form but you may substitute
  based on preference, venue and/or convenience,
  any of the appropriate Apex foods. All Apex bars
  and shakes meet the necessary quick digestion
  criteria. (CHO higher than P with low fat)
• Large pre post training/event meals
• Pre-event meal to be eaten approximately 2-3
  hours before your major activity post 2HRS
  post training based on post supplement ingestion
• Early morning training
• If you train soon after rising and have no time
  for complete digestion of a large meal, make sure
  you consume a large pre-training type meal as
  your final meal of the previous day and consume
  only the pre-workout snack with designated
  supplements before your workout
• New key takeaway
• Normal feedings patterns ( 3-6 normal meals)
  containing the same foods and supplements will
  not deliver the same result (i.e. there is no
  catch up for what takes place in the post
  training metabolic window)

Anabolic Amino Xtreme PositioningNew and unique
prolonged signal tissue components diet
induced hormone sensitive

• As a stand-alone (unique continuous MPS
  signaling)
• Hard training athletes not wanting quick weight
  gain but need rapid muscle tissue recovery
• e.g. all track, basketball, most baseball,
  wrestlers, boxers, runners, cyclists, etc. based
  on frequent events/training sessions
• All older exercisers/athletes
• When aging and peaked performance resist
  improvements
• Physique competitors especially during prolonged
  negative energy balance (dieting)
• Older adults to help stave-off sarcopenia
  (age-related muscle loss)
• Doctor approval
• New key takeaway
• Timed presence in the extra-cellular space of a
  newly discovered AA composition may continue to
  deliver a MPS signal when all else has expired
• An essential component in a unique stacking
  sequence for experienced adult strength,
  performance and size exercisers/athletes

vasodilation early strength size reciprocation

• As a stand-alone (cell volume, strength focus)
• Serious strength, performance size
  exercisers/athletes not concerned with rapid
  increasing muscle weight
• e.g. functional power athletes (e.g. Track
  Field), bodybuilders, power lifters, serious
  recreational exercisers, etc.
• Anyone using NO booster-type products seeking
  greater results
• Proprietary glycerol powder
• Functional doses of known cognitive and cell
  volume enhancers
• 2-scoops 6gms creatine analogs 300mgs
  caffeine
• New key takeaway
• May enhance all signals through vasodilation and
  mental stimulation
• An essential component in a unique stacking
  sequence for experienced adult strength,
  performance and size exercisers/athletes

STACKED! Controlling Maximizing MPS Creating
the Green-house Effect

• The formula in a nutshell unaccustomed training
  always sets muscle remodeling in motion, and
  since we now know that many MPS mechanisms are
  unique and can be additive, one would-- through
  strategic diet augmentation and
  modulations--gradually maximize each individual
  mechanism of protein synthesis. This includes
  the strategically timed delivery of the newly
  discovered pattern of AAs into the
  training-induced anabolic windows in order to
  continue progress
• At the very least, you will give your body the
  nutritional capacity needed to reach new heights.
  In keeping the muscle building machinery turned
  on, youre maximizing the stimulus for each
  unique mechanisms contributions to MPS. And if
  proper training and attitude are in place during
  this protocol, you may accelerate and continue
  training-induced results until who knows when?
  Now you know how the watch works and what time it
  is--go for gold!

Final Add Apex Volumizer

• Goal simply a later addition of more creatine
  and known volumizers
• Total energy substrate saturation
• Maximize cell volume MPS signaling
• Later addition allows a better mental and
  structural adaptation to the rapid gains

10
The Seasonal Anabolic Stacking Procedure MPS
mechanisms have been shown to interact and be
additive therefore the athletes goal is to
safely maximize each MPS mechanisms contribution
to adding muscle or enhancing performance in
order to accelerate and continue training-induced
results (see handout for detailed instructions)

NO XtremeGoal, Rationale Benefits

• The Goal of this unique product is to provide
  specific substrates that have the ability to
  increase blood and necessary nutrient flow to
  muscles in order to maximize the training
  response. This leads to greater gains in
  strength, size and/or performance
• Rationale the base proprietary blend contains
  compounds that work synergistically to increase
  blood flow (vasodilation). The greater blood flow
  to skeletal muscle would theoretically increase
  the delivery of oxygen, energy and rebuilding
  nutrients, while hastening the removal of waste
  products. This would lead to a potential strength
  improvement, less muscle breakdown, and greater
  net protein synthesis, especially if combined
  with an appropriate dose and timed delivery of
  specific amino acids (Anabolic Amino Xtreme).
  Synergistic ingredients are known muscle and
  energy enhancers (e.g. creatine and caffeine)
• Benefit summary may provide
• Vasodilation (increased blood flow - the pump)
• Rapid movement of nutrients in and waste products
  out of muscles
• Muscle force production
• Better, stronger workouts
• Recovery
• Anti-catabolic (decreasing stresses from
  exercise)
• Enhances nitric oxide (NO) production and the
  muscle pump
• Enhances nutrient delivery to muscle
• Enhances lactic acid removal from muscle
• Improves workout focus and training capacity

12
Anabolic Amino Xtreme Goal, Rationale Benefits

• Goal Supply the proper amino acid combination
  that has been shown to increase exercise-induced
  protein synthesis (when compared to normal
  feeding alone or other AA combinations). Then
  deliver it at ideal times in order to maximize
  intense training-induced specific windows of
  opportunities for anabolism throughout the day.
  Proper ingestion would maximize the unique muscle
  protein synthesis mechanism thats activated
  through the feeding of specialized amino acids
  (AA). This would potentially lead to greater
  strength and size gains, especially when
  exercise-induced results have stabilized (i.e.
  reached the training plateau).
• Rationale it has been well demonstrated that a
  specific pattern of specialized AA feeding
  stimulates protein synthesis independently of all
  other mechanisms.
• Benefit summary may provide
• Continual Recovery Signaling
• Highly anabolic signaling proteins synthesis by
  being present in the blood stream at ideal times
  and in proper proportions
• Components incorporated into muscle proteins
• Greater increases in muscle protein synthesis
• Greater increases in lean mass
• Greater increases in strength
• Accelerates changes in body composition
