My First Bodybuilding Show, And The Journey To Get There
My journey was challenging and my craving for peanut butter never-ending, but the end result was worth it. This experience has been rewarding, in more ways than one. I've learned quite a few things about myself, and what a strong, dedicated woman I really am.

Taking It Up to a New Level
My diet and supplements worked together just as Rita promised. Combined with a little hard work and determination I achieved my goal. I now know that I can live my dreams. You can too!

The Art of Getting Big - Stimulating Growth
To maximally encourage protein breakdown, rep ranges between five and twelve are utilized with relatively short rest periods. For many exercises, this can be as little as sixty seconds between sets. Sets of deadlifts and squats in which reps are higher than eight per set may require longer rest periods due to the fact that such large muscle groups may cause one to go into a temporary state of oxygen debt (a need to catch one's breath). Once breathing and heart rate have returned to an acceptable (only slightly elevated) level, one may continue.

Gaining Muscle With Good Nutrition
Many of us who are addicted to the iron eventually want to compete. Josh was no exception. He came to Beverly in late November 2000, after completing his eight-year bulk up phase with a new goal. He wanted to get in great shape and compete in a contest the following spring. Initial stats showed that Josh had gained a lot of muscle but also had accumulated a lot of fat. It would take some very structured dieting during the next twenty weeks in order to be ready to compete.

In Pursuit of a Bodybuilding Goal
A year later I decided to try again. Once again, I contacted Beverly International to help me prepare for the NPC Bluegrass Bodybuilding Championships. This time, I dedicated myself 100% to my training and nutrition regimens. I took the stage in June of that year with eleven other competitors and walked off as the overall winner. However, after reviewing pictures and the video of the show, I was still not satisfied. I was definitely in condition, but felt I now needed to add more muscle.
