PRESIDENT'S POINT
THE CLOSER I get to age 50, the more
respect I have for men and women who
make the effort to stay in shape at this
age. In my 20s, I was competing in
bodybuilding; going to the gym to work
out was my main priority. It was a lot
easier then because it was pretty much
my focus and my life.
As you get older, it defnitely gets
harder to fnd the time to exercise and
stay healthy. There are so many factors
that start to work against you. For one, at this age, many people in
their 50s have some type of family commitments, whether it is raising
children or caring for aging parents. These types of responsibilities tend
to accelerate during these years. Many at this age are also at important
stages of their careers where focus on business and work become a
very high priority. And if these two contributing factors dont make it
hard enough to fnd time to exercise, lets not forget that age starts to
work against you, whether you want to be active or not. Injuries and
health issues start to become more frequent and they can really make it
challenging to maintain any type of consistent workout routine.
So what do those of us nearing the half century mark do to stay ft
and healthy? I dont have any secret recipe of products to sell you. I
think the best and most honest answer is, do what you can, depending
on where you are. Im a big believer in keeping things simple, so Im
going to give you what I believe are the top three things you can do to
get ft at 50 and beyond:
Educate yourself There is so much information coming out now on
things you can do to eat better, exercise smarter and live longer. Take
some time each day to read an article that relates to your health; its the
best investment you can make.
Commit to 15 to 30 minutes of some form of exercise each
day When we think of trying to get to the gym or carve out over an
hour of time to exercise, most of us say to ourselves, "Theres no way I
can do it." When you reduce that to 15 to 30 minutes, it becomes more
realistic. Even if its just a walk outside during your lunch break, moving
gets the oxygen fowing to your muscles, speeds up your metabolism
and helps improve fexibility and health. We need to move more!
Make healthier choices when it comes to your diet Today, it
is so much easier to eat cleaner. Most restaurants have healthy menu
options and the grocery stores now have rows and rows dedicated to
healthier alternatives for every type of food option.
To all of us out there in Max Muscle nation who are 50 or nearing the
half century mark, I salute you for making the effort to live a healthy
lifestyle. There are some really great articles on some amazing 50+
year olds in this issue and what they are doing to stay in such fantastic
shape, so I encourage you to read these articles and get inspired. Keep
up the great work!

If youre struggling with age-related hearing loss but just cant adjust to those
hearing aids, youre not alone. Many people who wear their devices for the
frst time are troubled by sounds they havent heard in ages: wind in the trees,
background noises like air conditioners or people speaking a distance away.
These irritations often cause people to stop using the hearing aids before
theyve even worn them for a week. But a study from the University of MissouriColumbia reported greater success in adjusting to hearing loss if people gradually
increased both the time of wearing the devices and the complexity of sounds
encountered over a period of 30 days, rather than using the hearing aids all
day from the very beginning.

Good news for those who prefer beer to wine: beer can be
good for your health, too. While most of us have heard of the
benefcial aspects of a glass of red wine, research in the Journal
of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports that xanthohumol,
a compound found in hops used to make beer, can protect
brain cells from damage and possibly slow the development of
disorders such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons diseases. The same
warning goes for all alcohol, though a little is good, but a lot is
not better. So nurse that glass throughout the evening.

According to a recent UK study,
only one ffth of those with signifcant
hearing loss wear a hearing aid.

HOT OR COLD?
MAY 2015
Youve done everything your doc recommended: the tests, physical therapy, exercises
and pain medications and still, after six months, youre experiencing back pain. Should
you consider back surgery?
Not necessarily, according to David Hanscom, MD, a Seattle-based orthopedic spine
surgeon. Spine surgery should only be considered for specifc structural problems, and
most back pain is not related to a structural problem, he said
Instead, explained Dr. Hanscom, author of Back in Control, A spine surgeons roadmap
out of chronic pain, the pain is often either a result of injured soft tissue (muscles or
ligaments) supporting the spine, or, in the case of many chronic back pain sufferers, a
permanent neurological problem Mind Body Syndrome that has evolved from the
pain itself.
To explain how pain can actually cause more pain, Dr. Hanscom likens it to learning
to ride a bike or learning a new athletic skill. When the brain is hammered with the
same pain impulses day after day, week after week, it becomes more and more effcient
in processing them, he said.
In other words, continuous pain impulses from your back eventually causes pain
circuits to become imbedded in the nervous system, to the point that even if the pain itself
has abated over time, you experience it as the same or even greater because your
nervous system has memorized the pain circuit. An example of this, said Dr. Hanscom, is
phantom limb pain, a condition in which a person whose limb that has been amputated
continues to feel the pain even after the damaged or diseased limb that was causing
discomfort has been removed. Its a reminder, he explained, that the brain is an extremely
complex and sophisticated computer which is programmable.
And its not only the pain that your brain programs, said Dr. Hanscom. It also programs
negative thoughts related to pain, which intensifes pain. Finally the situation is made
worse by the side effects of pain and negative thoughts: anxiety, sleep issues and anger.
The answer, according to Dr. Hanscom, is a defned organized comprehensive
care program that revolves around education about the problem, management of sleep
and stress, short-term medications, physical conditioning and actively working on a
healthier life outlook. Through tackling all of these things at once, you can calm down a
turbocharged nervous system, reprogram your brain and make a full recovery.
Hanscoms program is a result of both having experienced debilitating back pain himself,
along with years of working with patients having pain. It continues to evolve over time,
said Dr. Hanscom, who has presented numerous seminars and workshops on the defned
organized comprehensive care program. To learn more, log on to Back-in-Control.com.

Neck Circles
Begin standing tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, slight bend in
the knees, navel drawn in, hips tucked under, arms resting at your sides,
shoulders rolled back, and neck in line with the spine.
Perform the frst repetition on each side slowly. Drop chin to chest, slowly
roll right ear over right shoulder, gently drop head back, slowly roll left ear
over left shoulder, gently come back to center. Smooth it out. Perform 5
repetitions in each direction.
Cat Cow
On all 4s (hands shoulder-width apart, knees hip-distance apart) inhale as
you sway your back dipping the navel towards the ground, crown of the
head and tailbone up, exhale as you round out, pulling belly button towards
the spine, separating your shoulder blades and bringing your chin towards
your chest. Complete 5-10 repetitions.
NOTE: If you have sensitive knees, you can perform this standing by
opening up your arms and chest with an inhale, rounding out, bringing the
arms together in front with an exhale.
Spinal Rotation
Head Outside!
Researchers found that those
who exercised outdoors showed an
improvement in mental well-being,
reported feelings of stress-relief and
greater satisfaction and enjoyment.
Stand tall with feet hip-distance apart, hands clasped at your sternum.
With your knees softly bent, hinge over at the hips. Keep hips neutral as
you begin to circle the torso to the right, to the left, and back to a folded
position. Go slow. Perform 5 repetitions in each direction.

Life Lessons
For the Fit After 50 issue, Jenny shares the lessons she learned
from her greatest role model: her grandmother. BY JENNY BROERS
WHEN I WAS ASKED to write an article about staying ft after 50, my mind
immediately went to the strongest, fercest person I know: the matriarch of my
family, my beautiful grandmother, Jean Nedrig, who is 88 years old. She has
never been on a diet. She had fve children, was married to a sweets lover for
over 50 years, is an amazing cook and still wears the same size now that
she did when she was my age.
Shes the best role model a girl could ask for and these are the
lessons Ive learned from her for staying ft 50 and beyond:
1. Never skip breakfast.
Ive spent a lot of nights at my grandmas house and every
morning starts the same way. I wake up to the smell of
scrambled eggs and toast. There is always a piece of fresh fruit
to choose from (grapefruit being a favorite of grandmas) and
a tiny glass flled with orange juice.
2. Drink plenty of water.
I have a distinct memory of telling my grandma I was
hungry and having her response be, Drink a glass of
water. I didnt understand it when I was younger, but
I now know that dehydration sends the same signal
to your brain as hunger. Having recently eaten,
my grandma knew I wasnt actually hungry, thus
encouraging me to drink the water. Research has
shown that without proper consumption of water,
your metabolism will slow down in an effort to
conserve energy and your organs arent able to
function as effciently. Drinking adequate amounts of
water is the easiest, most readily available solution to
weight management.
3. Eat balanced meals.
Every meal at my grandmas house includes a source of protein and
colorful vegetables. She flls her plate with an appropriate portion and
never takes a second helping. Shes aware of the nutrients her body
needs to be satiated and energized and has remained consistent
throughout her lifetime.
4. Everything in moderation.
Ive never eaten a meal at my grandmas house that didnt end
with something sweet. Im told its inherited from our German
background. With a continuous supply of ice cream bars, cookies,
and freshly baked apple pie, it would be easy to overindulge.
Grandma credits her svelte fgure, despite the sweets, to
moderation. Ive never seen her eat more than one scoop of ice
cream in one sitting or run to the cookie jar for a snack. She is
the queen of discipline.
My grandma started healthy habits at a young age. The most
important lesson Ive learned is that life is all about balance
and consistency. One cheat meal wont make you gain 10
pounds, just as one salad wont help you lose 20. Its about
the decisions you make, day to day, and the discipline that
accompanies those good choices.
I love this quote by Jeromy Shingongo: If you are persistent,
you will get it. If you are consistent, you will keep it. So, start
now, keep going and live a long, full life flled with good health
and happiness! MS&F

Rick Fox found Max Muscle two years ago after fnally winning
his weight-loss battle and trimming an amazing 54 pounds
from his frame in three months. He had learned about healthy
nutrition and incorporating cardio workouts on the treadmill.
Encouraged by his initial success, he added weight training
and other workouts to mix things up after the frst three
months. Diagnosed as pre-diabetic, Rick knew he had to make
serious lifestyle changes and he did. The more he started
moving, the more the excess weight started to fall off and the
better he felt.
Now that he has his ft and lean body back, Rick is focusing
on building lean muscle and enjoys training at the gym six
days a week and would not dream of missing a workout
because it makes him feel so good.
Firmly caught by the ftness bug, Rick branched out and
tried a local mud run last fall and discovered he loved it.
Head held high, Rick has a new attitude and a new body and
confdently states that gaining control over his ftness changed
everything about his life.

Don Everett Bitle refused to let a career setback at age 60 defne his
life or his ftness and used the opportunity to create a totally new
career designed to help others achieve and maintain maximum ftness.
He boldly returned to school and received a degree in Exercise and
Movement from a local community college and then used his training
to instruct aerobic classes. As ftness began to change his life for the
better, he continued to set new personal goals and began working with
personal trainer Aaron Ortin at Genuine Fitness to train for bodybuilding
competitions.
Dons personal ftness goals help him continually challenge himself
and serve to inspire participants in his ftness classes. Hes competed in
several bodybuilding competitions and feels he is stronger, healthier and
more energized now than he was before in 2008!
Don works hard to lead by example and shares his love of ftness and
healthy nutrition with all his students. This 68-year-old ftness instructor
keeps things fresh and modern by working out to songs like Where is
the Love by Black Eyed Peas and tells his students to focus on their
goals, lift weights three times a week and watch their nutrition.

Joey Silva, 54
Residence: Central Point, Oregon
MM Home Base: Max Muscle Medford, Oregon
MM Supplements: MaxxTor, MaxPro, 2Tx, Emerge
Sports: Tennis, wake boarding and teaching boxing. He is competing in the
Pacifc Coast on May 2 and the Cascade Classic on May 23.
He Took A Chance
Three years ago after an emotional divorce, Joey Silva found himself in a deep depression and desperately
needing something positive in his life to provide a healthy outlet. At 54, and father to 7-year-old Marcio, Joey
also wanted to model a healthy lifestyle and teach his son the importance of good nutrition and exercise.
It was then that Joey was encouraged to challenge himself to compete in a physique competition. Always
physically active, his concern was that at over 6 feet tall but only 169 pounds, he thought he just wasnt big
enough to compete. Others could see the possibilities and encouraged him anyway. Listen carefully to the
confdence that people have in you. People will have more confdence in you than you do in yourself, Joey
said about this experience. Take a chance, what do you have to lose? What you are doing isnt working!
Joey took a chance and now three years later hes proving that it can be done. Starting at 169 pounds
three years ago, he now competes at 195-200 pounds. Now sponsored by International Fitness of Medford,
Oregon, he trains with Jack Friend of Northwest Muscle and Joey of Central Point, Oregon has competed in
eight shows in the past three years.
Max Muscle Medford, Oregon introduced him to quality supplements that help him achieve great results on
stage. Joey credits MaxxTor with helping him take two inches off his waist for his upcoming competitions and
relies on favorites like MaxPro, 2TX and Emerge on a regular basis.
Now hooked on his new healthy lifestyle, Joey uses it regularly to share with Marcio how dedication,
discipline and hard work can help you achieve your dreams. At only 7 years old, Marcio already understands
the importance of eating his vegetables, and he practices posing with his dad!
In 2014 alone, Joey earned three frst place fnishes at the Iron Man, Emerald Cup and the Oregon State
Championships, all in the Masters Physique category, and he focuses on trying to give back to the community
that encouraged him to take a chance. Hes earned his physical trainer certifcate and readily shares his
knowledge with others interested in starting their own ftness journey. He quickly tells people, Dont be afraid
to fake it 'til you make it!

Many people tell Larry they dont do breakfast. The frst thing he
does is explain why this is a huge problem. When we wake up in
the morning, we have been fasting. We burn anywhere from 500
to 1,000 calories while we sleep, he said. We have to fre up the
metabolism like a jet engine and get it burning calories. In addition
to drinking Larry's Elixir for Life Cocktail (recipe on the next page)

M ARE SAYING ABOUT 2TX:
After just a couple of weeks of consistent 2TX, my
energy began to really pick up and it showed in the gym,
the mirror and in every part of my life. It has helped to
raise the life vitality bar back up to where it used to be.
Steve Wright,
54 Years Old Newport Beach, CA
I have more strength, more energy, more endurance
and more drive! If you are a man over 40, youve got to
try 2Tx today! It is a real shame that I didnt discover this
product earlier in life!
Chris Johnston,
50 Years Old Stockton, CA
After my 52nd birthday, I felt lousy all the time. A friend
then recommended 2TX. To my great delight within a
week of taking 2TX, my energy returned and from every
aspect I soon began to feel 20 again!

Cleanse & Lean is the best product on the market. I do not take any fat
burner supplements during my competition preparation. I take Cleanse
& Lean a few days before my competition to get that lean and fit look.
Cleanse & Lean makes you feel and look better!
Katie RhoeBoise, ID
As a busy mom of three year old twins, avid runner and yoga instructor I have found
that Cleanse & Lean is my "go to" supplement. Cleanse & Lean helps me get the lean
cuts and definition along with a healthy diet that I work so hard for. It helps me
to feel better and rid my body of excess toxins and water. As a fitness studio owner
I am asked frequently about different products and recommendations from different
companies and I always recommend with no hesitation to my clients, Cleanse & Lean
because it works!!!
Add more soluble fiber during cleansing! Fiber and Max Cleanse & Lean work together. Fiber acts
like a mop, gathering up toxic materials released and helping to sweep them out of your body.
Drink more water than you usually do! Bloating is often a result of festering bacteria from backed
up food in our bodies that is fermenting and sending out poisons through our bloodstreams. Water helps
to flush the toxins in your body and even dilutes their concentrations during the detoxification process.
Bring down your toxic load! Opt for organic and pesticide-free foods so you have fewer toxins in your
body. Dont forget about the psychological toxins, too. Dont schedule your cleanse during a high stress
time. Instead, consider taking some personal down time, and be sure to support your body with exercise
while youre cleansing.
Cleanse & Lean contains ingredients designed to gently cleanse the digestive tract.

Combat Infammation
Every time you get a cut, your bodys
immune system responds to the injury,
sending white blood cells to prevent
infection and jump start the healing
process. This is a short-term normal
response, called acute infammation.
But another type of immune system
response called chronic infammation
can occur in the body especially as
we age, damaging healthy cells that
the body uses to protect itself against
diseases like cancer, heart disease,
diabetes and Alzheimers, to name a
few. How does chronic infammation
happen? While the process is not
entirely understood, researchers do
know that obesity, long-term stress,
exposure to toxins and pollutants like
smog and cigarettes, and a high sugar,
combat infammation

Vitamin D. Our bodies make this vitamin from the sun, but
the body ages, its not as effcient in doing so. Added to this
problem, those in northerly latitudes, especially those with
dark skin, are unable to synthesize enough vitamin D during
the winter months. And the use of sunscreen blocks vitamin D
synthesis, too.
How much D do you need? The Vitamin D Council suggests
that healthy adults take in 5,000 IU each day, the Endocrine
Society says 2,000 IU, and the Food and Nutrition Board only
600 IU. Because of this wide variation in recommendations,
many docs suggest that ideal vitamin D intake be determined
after taking a blood test called a 25(OH)D test. Most medical
organizations say that you should aim for a result of between
50-80 ng/ml.
Food sources of vitamin D include fatty fsh, cheese, egg
yolks and fortifed milk. But most health experts believe
that you cant get enough of this vitamin without taking a
supplement.
Calcium. According to the National Institutes of Health,
women over age 50 should have 1,200 mg of calcium daily,
while men should have at least 1,000 mg. Although many
people take in calcium through supplementation, there have
been a number of recent studies about a possible risk of
cardiovascular problems related to calcium supplements
so its best to ask your doc for advice. Meanwhile, good
food sources of calcium are low fat dairy products such as
cheese, milk and yogurt, as well as Chinese cabbage, kale and
broccoli.
See a pattern here? Many of the foods that are good for
infammation are also good for brain, muscle and bone health.
And if you take in a variety of healthy, whole foods lean
meats and other good protein sources, low fat dairy, and
lots and lots of colorful fruits and veggies, youre more likely
to keep your body in good shape as you move toward your
retirement years. Most people eat roughly the same 10
foods, said Wartman. But The more diverse your diet is, the
more nutrients you will get, she added. Its that simple.

soon as you
get up in the
morning,
and just before
bedtime.
For optimal
results keep
an extra bottle
of Liquid Egg
Whites at work for Children!
to enjoy their benefts
throughout the day!
Why take Liquid Egg Whites before
bedtime? Fitness enthusiasts have
known for decades that if you dont put
protein into your body before you go to
bed, your body will run out of protein
in the middle of the night. Once your
body digests all of its available proteins,
your body thinks it is starving itself.
To protect you, your body shuts down
and starts storing your own fat cells.
Your blood sugar still needs protein to
keep you going, so it starts consuming
the only protein source available at 3
am, your own muscle mass. Basically,
you are storing fat and eating muscle.
By drinking a high protein drink with
Pure Liquid Egg Whites just before you
go to bed, the egg protein will support
muscle growth for up to 4 to 5 hours.
Now the process is reversed for most of
your sleep time. Rather than storing fat
and eating muscle, the protein from the
Liquid Egg Whites, is allowing your body
to burn the fat at its normal rate while
building on the muscle. You will get
better nights sleep, and wake up more
alert and refreshed, and not as hungry in
the morning.

Will stay good refrigerated
for 90 to 120 days, and can

Egg White Protein Shakes for 3 of his 6 daily meals.

Five Key
Supplements
YOU NEED
AFTER 50
BY KAREN MORSE, MPH
MAY 2015
MULTIVITAMIN
Jill Plant, a nutritionist and co-owner of Poised Pilates in Menlo Park, California
compares a daily multivitamin to the foundation of a house. Not many of us eat a
perfect diet including all of the vitamins and nutrients we need. A good multivitamin
should fll in all of the holes you arent getting from food sources, Plant says. It
should also contain the Recommended Daily
Value of vitamins and essential minerals
necessary for good health, including
B-vitamins, vitamin A, C, D3 and minerals
such as calcium, magnesium and others.
RECOMMENDED PRODUCT: Max
Multi (for Men and for Women)
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take two
capsules daily, with food.
PROTEIN
For an athlete, consuming enough protein to meet our bodys energy demands is a
challenge at any age. Protein is essential to retain our existing muscle mass, for tissue
repair and to keep our immune system functioning properly.
Many active older people dont get enough protein in
their diet, says Scott Herkes, a Certifed Fitness Nutrition
Coach and franchisee of the Max Muscle stores in
Bettendorf, Iowa and Moline, Illinois. As we age, we
are susceptible to losing muscle as each decade passes,
he states. Since muscle protein synthesis declines as we
age, Herkes recommends both resistance exercise and
increasing protein intake per serving. While a younger
person may get a fairly good response from 20 grams of
protein, an older person does better with 30 grams, he
tells us.

THE COCKTAIL
L-CARNITINE
VITAMIN C
L-Carnitine is a supplement that provides a variety of healthrelated benefts. In addition to helping the body burn fat,
it also improves cardiac output and muscular function and
reduces cognitive decline.
L-Carnitine is a non-stimulant fat burner that plays a major
part in energy metabolism. L-Carnitine helps break down
fatty acids and pushes them into the mitochondria of the
muscle so that we can burn them as energy, explains Larry
Wilcox, owner and Certifed Fitness Nutrition Coach at Max
Muscle in Oregon City, Oregon.
Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for normal cell and organ function, to
protect our joints and muscles, and may lower the risk of heart disease and
cancer. A risk assessment published in 2009 investigating the preventable
causes of death in the United States estimated that 84,000 people die
prematurely each year due to an omega-3 fatty acid defciency.
If you already consume fatty fsh such as salmon or sardines three
times per week, you can probably skip an additional
supplement. If not, the recommendation from expert
physician panels and government health agencies
for adults with no history of heart disease is a daily
eicosapentaenoic acid (EHA) and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA) supplement of at least 500 milligrams.
RECOMMENDED PRODUCT: Omega-3 Plus High Potency Fish
Oil, 1,000 mg
HOW TO TAKE IT: Take one soft gel daily. Anyone with a
history of heart disease should consult with their doctor
frst, as he or she may advise starting at a higher dose.

NIGHT TIME
WEIGHT LOSS
With The Calming Night Time Fat-Loss Accelerator
Quadra Cuts Night Time Metabolic Activator by Max Muscle Sports Nutrition
(MMSN) is designed for adults to help sustain maximum calorie burning while you
sleep. Unlike preparations that leave you feeling over stimulated and restless in the
evening, Quadra Cuts Night Time provides the fat burning factors throughout the night
and assists you in sleeping by combining gentle, but effective sleep aids promoting a
great nights sleep.
Quadra Cuts Night Time Metabolic Activator contains the Night Time Burn Blend
with four scientifically proven fat loss accelerators including, L-Carnitine (fumarate),
7-Keto DHEA, Garcinia cambogia extract (Hydroxycitric acid, HCA), and Chromium
(polynicotinate).
L-Carnitine helps body fat reduction by transporting fatty acids into muscle cells for
fat burning, which helps prevent fatty acid buildup and fat stores. L-Carnitine is
absolutely essential for all fat metabolism to take place in the body. L-Carnitine and its
precursors, L-Lysine and Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), make it possible to increase energy
while burning fat.
7-Keto is the trade name for the compound 3-acetyl-7-oxo dehydroepiandrosterone
(DHEA) and a proven safe, effective and innovative weight loss ingredient. Like DHEA,
it is known to decline with age. Human clinical studies have shown that 7-Keto
accelerates weight and fat loss compared to a placebo in overweight individuals
when combined with a program of diet and exercise. 7-Keto works naturally in the
body to enhance the activity of three thermogenic enzymes promoting the burning of
fat including, fatty acyl CoA oxidase, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and malic
enzyme. 7-Keto promotes weight loss without the use of stimulants.
