7 'Sure-Fire' Tips to Help You Maximize
Your Pro-Hormone Supplementation





  1. Make sure you get plenty of protein throughout the day

    This is very important! Increasing testosterone increases protein synthesis. You need to supply extra protein to take full advantage of this "high anabolic state" the AST Sports Science pro-hormone substrates put you in. Don't skimp on protein either. Make sure it's a high quality Whey Isolate. Cheap protein is of poor quality, and exhibits inferior muscle-building properties. If there is one supplement you should not bargain hunt for it's whey protein! We highly recommend VP2 Whey Isolate. VP2 is the only "bio-active" protein available.



  2. Drink plenty of fluids

    Your muscles are made up of over 70% water. The least bit of dehydration reduces protein synthesis, zaps muscle strength and inhibits the growth process - not to mention increases your chance for injury. The cheapest supplement of all - water - should be used extensively.



  3. Take Micronized Creatine or Creatine HSC

    Our Micronized Creatine is a major advancement in creatine supplementation. With individual particles 20 times smaller than regular creatine monohydrate it's more efficient, gets into the bloodstream faster, and is utilized to a greater degree. Micronized Creatine is also more pure by design. It undergoes several more purification processes yielding a "cleaner" end product. We now use Micronized Creatine in all our creatine supplements including the very potent Creatine HSC.



  4. Train heavy, train smart, and train for growth - Max-OT Style

    Max-OT - this requires heavy weight with relatively low reps. By low reps I mean 4 to 6. That is, use a weight that will allow you to get at least 4 reps but no more than 6. This is the perfect range for maximizing the muscle growth response. Also, there is some data that suggests this weight and rep scheme may maximize natural testosterone output. Sign up for the FREE Max-OT training course today. This will teach you the most effective way to train to build muscle mass and strength in the shortest time possible.



  5. Challenge yourself

    Always strive to train heavier and reach a new level of intensity. Muscles adapt rather quickly. Constantly challenging your limits forces your muscles to adapt and grow. Max-OT training is designed to continually challenge your muscles with intensity and overload.



  6. Train one body part per day

    This allows for greater intensity, shorter workouts, and greater muscle stimulation. When you train only one body part per workout you are able to harness more mental and physical intensity during that workout. More intensity - more growth.



  7. Supplement every day!

    It's important to supplement on the days you don't train as well as the days you do. Your muscles are actually responding to your training in the form of growth on the days you are not training. It's important to keep your hormone, protein and nutrient levels high during this critical recuperation period.
