Hardening Phase
(Weeks 4,5) (8,9,10) Supplement Program Super Pak with meal 1 6 Ultra 40 with each meal 4 Mass Aminos with each meal 2 Lean out per meal 25 Muscle Mass BCAA's during training L-Glutamine before and after training Muscle Synergy 8 tabs before training 2 GH Factor before every meal My diet was basically the same as the gaining phase but I changed my Post Training meal from 6 scoops Mass Maker to 2 scoops Muscle Provider and 100% egg protein (1 scoop), 5 g L-glutamine. I also added 20 to 25 minutes of cardio immediately after weight training 4 days a week and trained abs every other day. It would have taken me at least double the time and effort to achieve my results without the Beverly supplements and diet. I was actually gaining muscle while I stayed lean. |
After prejudging my trainer and I went
to Long Horn and ate. I ate a little more
than I thought I should, but it turned out
for the best. It helped me fill out and
become a lot more vascular. Back in my
room I continued to
practice my posing
routine and did a touch
up on my pro tan, then I
was off to the night
show. Backstage many
of the competitors
complimented me and
asked what I did to get
in such good shape. I
told them Beverly, of
course!
I stepped back to await the judges' decision. Then the promoter stepped to the mic and announced, "In a unanimous decision the winnner is... number 15, Joe Fogarty! Many of the competitors had heard of Beverly, but instead used what they thought were comparable but cheaper versions of the products. Personally, I'd put too much into my bodybuilding to compromise my results with inferior products. I knew Beverly had given me an advantage over the others, now I was about to see if it was enough to win in my first show. Note: Creatine Select and Glutamine Select were not yet available. Imagine my gains if I had been able to use these advanced Beverly products My posing routine went well and I had a lot of fun putting on a show for the crowd. I won my class then it was time for the overall posedown. As we went through the mandatory poses all I could hear was my family and friends yelling, "Go Joey!" and "Go Stumpy", a nickname I picked up from my buddies referring to my height and off-season condition. Then the announcer said, "Pose down!" My Nutrition and Supplement Strategy at 2 Weeks Out This diet and supplement program put a razor's edge on my conditioning.
