3 Natural Supplements For All Day Energy (Plus A Kick-Ass Workout)!

Having a hard time jump starting your workout?

Does the boss find you bent over your desk, short circuiting your keyboard with drool as you snooze away?

Do you toss and turn all night, watching the clock, thinking about how dead dog tired you're going to be the next day?

Well, you don't have to live on intravenous coffee every waking moment to get through the day.

Here are 3 natural supplements that can help you keep your energy levels HIGH for every stage of your day.

Energy Supplement For Your Workout:

Everyone who has attended my online training sessions knows that I'm a HUGE fan of CAFFEINE!

In my opinion, java's been given a bad wrap as an energy supplement.

For example, did you know that a cup of coffee has way more anti-oxidants than even a cup of blueberries?

And the pick-me-up you get from a quick dose is GREAT for right before your workout to help you train HARDER and LONGER as it reduces fatigue and kicks up intensity.

This is why I include it in my "During Workout Power Potion" in my program on "How To Make Your Own Supplements" at www.MakeYourOwnSupplements.com.

For those who don't have my "secret recipe", you can try adding just 200mg to a cup of coffee on the way to your workout and it will hit you by the time you hit the gym floor!

Energy Supplement For Your Afternoon:

Who doesn't get the "post-lunch" Z-monster?

It helps not to eat a heavy lunch that's going to cause you to crash (ward off the schmoe coming around for McDonald's orders with a ring of garlic posted outside your cubicle)!

But you can also sip a few glasses of iced GREEN TEA in the afternoon for increased energy AND fat-burning!

As an alternative, you can consume about 400mg EGCG Green Tea Extract capsules or open them up and put them in ice water for "instant green tea" chock full of anti-oxidants and energy!

Supplement To Help You Sleep Better:

When it comes to having all day energy, getting enough SLEEP in the first place is HUGE!

But so many people have trouble sleeping these days (stress...stimulants...Playstation 3!).

Try supplementing with 3mg of MELATONIN about 30 minutes before bed.

Our natural stores of this hormone decrease beginning in our mid 20's and maintaining a balance through natural supplementation will help you get to sleep faster and sleep deeper while waking up more rested!

In fact, balancing this hormone is so crucial to not only energy production, but also FAT LOSS, that I include it in my "Hormone Section" of my natural fat loss program, "Combat The Fat" at www.CombatTheFat.com.

Suffer From Back Pain? Eat This...

Lower back pain SUCKS, doesn't it?

One minute you're brushing your teeth and then as you bend over to spit and you feel that familiar excruciating pain shoot through your lower back like a red hot poker!

10 years of humping a ruck in the Army has shot my back all to hell and one wrong move sometimes can mean the difference between heading to the gym...

...or heading to the DOCTOR!

But recently I've been doing all I can to not just "treat" back pain...but PREVENT IT!

One of the things I'VE discovered is the power of FOOD in getting rid of my back pain.

I never really realized that what I EAT can make a difference in how my back feels on a daily basis.

Here's just ONE EXAMPLE of...

A "SUPER FOOD" That Eliminates Back Pain...

Pain in your back (it's MY lower back that I have problems with) is aggravated by inflammation of the joints.

I recently read a book called Back Pain Diet Secrets (www.BackPainDietSecrets.com) that shows step-by-step how you can actually CURE back pain just by eliminating certain foods from your diet while adding a few others.

For example...

Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega 3's REDUCE inflammation and since problems like bulged discs (my L4-L5 are toast!) cause the body to naturally respond with inflammation, adding more salmon to your diet will help to relieve the back pain.

I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of the taste of salmon.

So I normally take fish oil capsules instead to get my omega-3's.

But I ran out a few months back and just forgot to order them (week after week!)

I started taking them again and within just a week or so, I was no longer twisted like a pretzel getting out of bed in the morning.

Now, I've been doing some other things as well, like stretching more and keeping up with my cardio, but if long-term relief is what you're looking for, then you absolutely MUST make a few tweaks with your diet.

So if you have a "bad back", here's what I want you to do...

1. Either add more SALMON (or other fish high in omega 3's) to your diet - like twice a week; or

2. Take one fish oil capsule 3 times a day with meals.

Plus...

3. Go check out the "Back Pain Diet Secrets" book at www.BackPainDietSecrets.com
I've checked it out and while it's a short read, it will absolutely work at getting rid of your back pain.

I'm living proof of that!

The "Crack Cocaine" Of Protein!

Shame on you!

Like some strung out pusher, you head off to the gym, day after day, to slap your muscles around as they beg for another "fix" of protein.

Rep after rep, workout after workout, you tear them apart and instead of giving them the "good stuff", you string them out on cheap, "filler" crap you picked up out of some catalog because you thought...

..."Hey, protein is protein, right?"

WRONG!

As I've stated before, not all protein is the same.

But there's actually a "super-potent" form of protein that few people ever use...

...and it can DRASTICALLY increase your muscle-building progress!

The "Crack Cocaine" Of Protein!

Of course I'm talking about branched chain amino acids (BCAA's)!

BCAA's are an "old school" supplement and the reason so many people haven't used it is because it's VERY expensive...

...IF you buy it down at your local vitamin store!

(Don't worry...I have a cheap supplier for your "fix"! ;-)

BCAA's are basically broken down protein that's VERY rapidly absorbed by your muscle cells for use in the recovery and growth of muscle tissue.

This is one of the reasons why I call them a "must have" supplement for "hardgainers" in my Hardgainer Mass Building Program at (www.HardgainerProjectX.com)

BCAA's are so potent that just 5 grams of BCAA's is equal to about 20-25 grams of whey protein.

Now, Here's How To Use Them...

Now I have my own personal "supplement recipes" in my breakthrough manual on "How To Make Your Own Supplements" (www.MakeYourOwnSupplements.com) that include BCAA's and work synergistically with other cheap supplements for various purposes.

In fact, I use BCAA's in the formulas for my...

=> Pre-Workout Supplement Recipe

=> During Workout Supplement Recipe

=> Nighttime H0rm0ne Boosting Recipe

But for the "Average Joe" who couldn't find enough change in the couch cushions to pay the measly $27 for my program, here's how you can use them...

Simply take about 5 grams immediately before, during, and after training (include additional whey protein after training).

This will provide your muscles with some readily available "building materials" for rapid absorption while your supplemental whey protein is breaking down for more long term muscle-feeding.

Where To Find It Cheap...

If you try to buy BCAA's at your local supplement store, you'll find that they're going to charge you an arm and a leg for them.

They're RIPPING YOU OFF!

The ONLY way to buy BCAA's are in bulk powder form...and they're super-cheap.

My supplier is www.PureBulk.com and if you type in "musclenerd" into the "Coupon Code" area, you'll get an extra 5% off.

(Yeah...I got friends! ;-)

Add this supplement to your program and your muscles will pay you back with some thick new growth!

Bicep Training Tip From Male Enhancement Product?

Who would have ever thought that a male enhancement device could be used to increase the size of your BICEPS?

Now wait...

Before you go ordering your own model and trying to slap it on your arms and start pumping away (at least that's how I THINK it works...I really wouldn't know...really...seriously...) let me explain how this CONCEPT works...

Supposedly (again, I really wouldn't know), the Swedish "pump" enlarges a man's penis by expanding the blood chambers that fill up during an erection.

The bigger the chambers, the bigger your erection, right?

Well, the same thing goes for your MUSCLES because as you train with HIGH VOLUME sets, your muscles fill up with blood and other fluids and this leaves you with the treasured "pump" feeling that we all love so much.

Although "some" experts preach that the pump DOESN'T actually build muscle, the fact is that it DOES increase size the same way that the Swedish Pump does (though I can't attest that it does really).

So here's a COOL TRICK I've discovered that will crank the pump factor up a few extra notches...

Bicep Training Tip For A Bigger Pump:

1. First, you want to hit your arms with a few sets of HIGH VOLUME reps.

We're talking around 12-15, but if you're using my Advanced Mass Building program, this technique is PERFECT for Weeks 1 and 3 of your 4-week cycle!

2. IMMEDIATELY after you're done with your last "pump" set for your arms, head on over to the treadmill and jump on! Don't even waste time going to get a drink at the fountain or chat with the red-headed pilates instructor! Time is of the essence!

3. Begin jogging at a moderate pace (you don't need to sprint).

4. Within about 20-30 seconds, all that increased blood flow that's hitting your already pumped up muscles will start to stretch your veins and arteries and it will feel like your muscles are about ready to explode all over the gym floor!

5. Keep it up for about 5-10 minutes and you'll have greatly increased your size potential for your arms...and you'll actually FEEL that this is true!
