There are two goals for any competitive bodybuilder getting ready for the contest stage: reduce body fat and maintain/gain muscle mass. For me, this contest had a special meaning. On June 9th 2007, I would be making my professional debut. It was time for me to make the most of my 17 years competing as an amateur. I knew that I was going to need high-quality proven supplements. Plus, the supplements had to meet the strict criteria of the ABA/PNBA Natural Bodybuilding Federation. Maximum Fitness Suppplements and Shocker Nutrition Supplements were the perfect fit for what I needed. I utilized the ThermoLean AM/PM Fat-Loss Kit, Kre-Alkalyn, Glutamine, and Lean Protein MRP exclusive for my 60-day contest preparation. Not only did I achieve my goal of getting ripped, but I was also 5 pounds heavier than my last competition. I know that these supplements made the difference in my preparation and allowed me to achieve my ultimate conditioning. Many thanks to Maximum Fitness Supplements and Shocker Nutrition for helping me achieve my goals NATURALLY!
