My progress was stalled for months. Something just wasn’t clicking.



The Beverly nutrition program immediately jumpstarted my progress.



I learned that successful bodybuilding is at least 70% nutrition and just 30% training.



  Three years of hard training with one goal in mind, "to successfully compete in my first bodybuilding show, within the next year" Sounds like a good goal, doesn't it? But what was I going to do differently this year than the year before. I definitely needed to improve in order to compete, but my progress was stalled. Then at the 2002 NPC Collegiate Nationals I was introduced to Team Beverly - my personal solution to the competition puzzle.

For the longest time competing had
just been a dream. Now it was reality.

  I met a lot of great people at the show including Jeremiah Forster from Beverly. Jeremiah talked to me a little about my goals and gave me some copies of the No Nonsense Newsletter and BodyMuscle Journal. As I read through this literature I was especially impressed with Beverly's honest and realistic approach. Then, at the show one of Beverly's athletes proved that they really do walk their talk, Mark Ritter won the Collegiate Middleweights, in an impressive manner.

  Mark had gained sixteen pounds over the previous two years, while my progress had slowed down to a crawl. I trained as hard as ever but something just wasn't clicking. I needed a change and was excited about what the Beverly program could do for me. I couldn't wait to get back to Atlanta and get started.

  The Beverly nutrition program immediately jumpstarted my progress. It was like I had found the answer to my bodybuilding dream. The diet was different from any I had followed in the past but it was relatively simple and easy to follow. My first six weeks consisted of a three-week gaining phase followed by a hardening phase for three additional weeks.

  I was center stage as I hit pose after pose. The Super Heavyweight was next to me, matching me shot for shot. We were asked to step back as the judges made their decision. Then the promoter stepped to the mic and announced, "In a unanimous decision the winner is... number 15, Joe Fogarty!"

  The feeling was indescribable. All the workouts and dieting had paid off. For the longest time competing had just been a dream. Now it was reality.

  I would like to thank everyone at Beverly for the time and help they gave me. I'm definitely a Beverly client for life.  [continued on next page]
