1 - New Stamina

STAMINA is much better than the other stuff on the market
because it's not just a plain old Carbo drink with a fancy
name...STAMINA is actually a stamina builder. You'll feel the
difference, right away... I promise.

Directions:

It's important to mix the powder with water just right or it will
foam all over the place and make a big mess. I've found the following works really well: In a one quart container, add about a half cup cold water, then sprinkle a level tablespoon of STAMINA on top of the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes or until it stops bubbling... Then fill the container with cold water until you have a full quart of water for each tablespoon of STAMINA.

You will get the best results if you start drinking your Stamina
about 30 minutes before and continue throughout your workout.

By the way...
It would be a good idea to mix your Daytime Growth Plus with this product. (The STAMINA drink won't interfere with Growth Plus GH Release)

Okay let's get down to Brass Tacks...Why do you need STAMINA
in the first place ? Maybe you don't... but if you are running out of
gas before you get through your workout then need it.

How does STAMINA help you get through your workout?

To put it simply...When ever we go through a hard workout we accumulate
lactic acid in the muscles. This causes pain and fatigue as the lactic
acid causes a shiftin the blood pH... which inhibits the regeneration
of ATP (muscle fuel) and brings on increased muscle fatigue. We've got
to find some way to get that blood pH back to where it was when you
were fresh.

There are two ways of approaching the problem. One is to find some way
to increase the level of ATP in the tissues and the other is to buffer
or neutralize the lactic acid in the blood stream.

So...Here's what we have done...

Di-Basic Potassium Phosphate is used to accelerate the production of
adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) and Sodium Bicarbonate has been added
to buffer the accumulated Lactic acid. We have also used Ascorbic Acid
to improve palatability and increase immune response. Caution: If you
suffer from High Blood Pressure...Extra Sodium in your diet
may aggravate your condition.

2 - "What If The Pain Won't Go Away?"

Sometimes pain is very persistant and still won't go away even with "slow
movement" type exercise therapy. If the pain persists, follow these
rules and your recovery should be much faster.

Rule #1
Once you get injured... everything changes. Forget about your current
rate of progress. Your new goal is to heal the injury. Focus all your
attention on getting better.

Rule #2
Don't lay off... It doens't help. The pain just stays with you... It
doesn't seem to matter how long you lay off. You must actually
work the injury out of the joint. Which leads to rule #3...

Rule #3
Find exercises that do not cause no pain. This is important! When I say
no pain, I mean no pain. Not pain that is tolerable or less than it was, I
mean no pain. You see... pain sets up a histamine reaction which causes
swelling and blocks circulation just like your nose plugs up with allergies...
That's why you take anti-histamines to reduce the swelling, so you can
breath again. Finding pain free exercises gets circulation into the injured
area. Also... the exercise has to be pain free even before you warm
up the joint. Not after.

Rule #4
Don't be fooled by endorphin release. It will mask the pain. Even if you
can't feel it... The injury is still taking place. You must find exercises
that don't cause pain without any warm-up. This will accelerate the
healing tremendously.

Rule #5
After you have once found pain free exercises, use a light resistance
and move very slowly through the exercise. It will stimulate nutrient
rich, healing blood to circulate into the area and sweep out all the
accumulated toxins.

Rule #6
Ice the injured area each night until it goes numb. Your body will sense
the cold and send more warm fresh blood to the injured area. Be
careful you don't over do it and get frostbite.

Rule #7
Take aspirin about every three hours, it is a mild anti-inflammatory
and allegedly thins the blood to aid in penetrating the swollen tissues.
Don't take it before workouts as it will mask pain. You need pain to
tell you when you are re-injuring yourself.

Rule #8
Don't ignore the first signs of pain. Be alert on every exercise. If you
feel a little tinge of pain, stop the exercise and go to something else.
Most of the damage can be avoided if you will be more alert to the
very first signs of pain. I'm talking about joint pain not the lactic
acid pain associated with muscles working.

Rule #9
If you spend time in the Sauna just before your workout and three or
four times during your workout it will increase Growth Hormone release
Remember GH is a heling accelerator. Stay in just long enough to get
warm but not long enough to perspire.

3 - The Craft Of Building Huge Deltoids

An ancient sage once observed: "For every disadvantage
there is an equivalent advantage. You just have to be
able to see it". Being a hard gainer posed for me just
such a advantage. None of my gains ever came without
lots of work. It took years of experimentation. You
see, I was competing against fellows that all started
bigger than I was. My goal was to somehow stand out in
a line up with naturally big bodybuilders. Athletes who
were already admired, heroes in high school before they
even started training. Not one of the little guys like
I was.

Initially, I didn't believe it was possible for anyone
like me to accomplish more than just to make a little
improvement in my general size. I had this vague notion
that somehow I had been personally cursed to be small
and skinny forever.

When I first started bodybuilding I was also on the
college gymnastic team at Idaho State College. One day
Jim Wise the Rocky Mountain diving Champion walked in as
we were practicing backflips. He noticed I was starting to
get a little bigger. "Larry, what do you hope to accomplish
from all that weight lifting"? he asked. In a burst of
candid bravery I replied, "I want to be Mr. America someday".
"You will never do it, he said. Your shoulders are too
narrow." His comment along with my own awareness of my
narrow shoulders burned a hole in my heart which could
only be healed by a set of massive shoulders.
Even now, my clavicle width is not as wide as it should be,
but I learned how to pack meat on my shoulders so thick
and dense that Arnold Swartzenegger was heard to say
"I don't know how Larry ever put so much mass on a small frame."
Let me tell you how I found clever ways to add huge amounts of
muscle on a narrow frame.

There is not much one can do to increase the width of the
bone structure, but there is a whole lot of things we can
do to pack meat on a bony body.

It didn't take me long to discover that the most important
deltoid head for adding width to the shoulders was the side
deltoid head. I also found the best exercise for the side
head was the side lateral raise with dumbbells. It was the
best exercise, only so long as I did the exercise in a
certain manner. In addition, there are some other details
which will help you get the most from your shoulder training.

* You will need a mirror so you can watch your movement.

* I find it best if I have a dumbbell rack in which the
rack hits me just below the pelvis. For one thing, I
don't want to burn energy bending over and picking up
the dumbbells off the floor each set.

* Deltoids do not obey basic physiological laws that
state: "muscles generally grow faster when they are
worked through complete range of motion".

* The deltoids recuperate much faster than most bodyparts.
Faster than the arms and much faster than the legs.
Deltoid recuperation is almost like red muscle fibre.
Especially is this apparent when worked with a constant
tension method which I will soon explain.

As I mentioned earlier. I quickly learned side deltoid
raises were the best for building the desired deltoid
head (lateral). The problem with the side dumbbell
raises was, you just cannot use very much weight on
this exercise. Consequently the real potential mass of the
side lateral head can not be achieved because the weights
which we can handle in this exercise are always too light.

I began to reason, "If there was some way in which
I could use a similar movement on presses where I am
much stronger which I used on side laterals I could
build some incredible thickness. I found that by leaning
over into the dumbbell rack so I was slightly off balance,
I could press the dumbbells in an arc, never locking out
on top and never bottoming out, I could achieve a similar
movement as used on the side lateral raises. In fact by
keeping the elbows back as far or even farther than
my head I could activate the side lateral deltoid heads
almost as much as I did while doing side lateral raises.

The pump was incredible while doing the exercise in this
fashion. Furthermore I was using much heavier weight,
so I could build much greater mass. Mass that was not
normally seen on deltoids.

As the purpose of this article is to teach you how to
build some incredible deltoids, let me explain that
movement again.

The dumbbells are held at shoulder height, actually a
little higher than the shoulders. Try to keep the
dumbbells held throughout the movement with the little
fingers higher than the thumb side of the dumbbell.
This will keep the stress on the deltoid rather than
transfer the stress to the triceps. (You will notice
as you start to get tired how the thumb side of the
hand starts to creep up to employ more triceps on the
exercise).

First,lean off balance into the dumbbell rack then
press the dumbbells up in an arc. The palms should be
facing the mirrors with the thumbs wrapped around the
bar. (not on the same side as the fingers). Try to
keep the elbows behind the head and following a track
that would have the elbows meet somewhere behind the head
if you continued the arc. Do not lock out on top of the
exercise. Use only the middle 3/5 of the exercise. As
the dumbbells start down try to keep them as wide as
possible. This will put even more stress on the deltoid
heads.

As I mentioned earlier, the deltoids recuperate so fast
they are best worked in a "down the rack" fashion. This
is done as follows. Start out by warming up the deltoids
by using a light weight and doing a set of dumbbell presses
exactly as I have described above. Jump 5 lbs and do another
set a little heavier. Continue doing this until you have reached
a weight which is about 75% of what you are going to be using
for your heaviest weight for dumbbell presses.

If you are training with a training partner, let him warm
up by working up the rack while you rest and prepare for
your first series of dumbbell presses.

Having warmed up you are ready to begin. Select a weight
with which you can do about 6 reps max. in the fashion
described. Having done 6 reps, set the weight down and with
no rest do 6 reps with a pair of dumbbells 5 lbs lighter.
Do 6 reps, drop 5 lbs and repeat until you have done
6 sets of 6 reps with little or no rest between sets.
Let your partner do his 6 sets while you rest and catch
your breath.

You will find this method of doing dumbbell presses
extremely effective in building the lateral head whereas
most dumbbell presses work only the frontal deltoid head.

Talk to you next week!
