?Whether I'm working with an Olympic athlete, a world record holder, a Pop Warner or a  Little League player, the first thing is you have to stop what causes the muscle to be cannabilized. We call that muscle tapping. Deaminization is the breakdown of muscle tissue.  The 3 things you have to avoid is sugar, not enough carbohydrates, and not enough protein. You can end up leeching protein, so even if you are working out and you're doing great workouts and you're aerobically fit, if you don't have the proper nutrients to prevent this deaminization (muscle loss), then all you're doing is spinning wheels.    The way to stop it is two-fold. During workouts, you should always take a PrePost. Anyone who wants to increase muscle mass, needs to take PrePost, 5 scoops before and 5 scoops after the workout. During the workout, you have at least one scoop of ElectroCarbs, if not 2 depending on the duration of the workout. The next thing you want to use is the Beta 7.  Beta 7 is phenomenal; it's not a creatine. We don't use creatine sources. Creatine gives you a false pump, false strength, false everything. It gives you the puffed up steroid look and all it does is hold in water. A lot of people use it and people are getting kidney cancer from it. It works as a reverse diarrhetic. So, instead of letting water release from the body, it builds up in the muscle tissue and what happens is the internal temperature builds up and people can actually die from it. Beta 7 functions totally different ? it's not like the diarrhetic or creatine effect. Beta 7 causes the blood vessels in the tissues of the muscles that you're working to dilate and to engorge the muscle with blood ? which means it brings in protein, it brings in the nutrients to help with performance and for repair.
   You do a teaspoon of Beta 7 under your tongue and you go from there. You take Beta 7 before you take PrePost. Beta 7 you take anywhere from 30-40 minutes before a workout. Some people take it in the middle of a workout. PrePost you take on the way to the gym or while you're getting ready. You have that get in your system before you begin to workout.
   In the old days, they used to use food sources like spaghettis and pastas  for carb loading, but the foolishness of carb loading is specific dynamic action, by which the body breaks itself down to utilize any food sources -  from anywhere to 28-50% breakdown of your own body to get nutrients out of it. Unfortunately, food source proteins are the worst percentage of SDA effect on the body. With our proteins, which are already enzymatically prepared, we create an environment where you can get the benefits without the negative SDAs.  PrePost has zero SDA, is in your bloodstream immediately, and there's a true carb loading effect with it.
   Also to prevent muscle tapping,  you avoid sugars. There are no simple sugars in PrePost.
   If you have a certain weight that you're trying to gain, then what you do is you take the weight that you want to be, divide that by 30 and that'll tell you how many protein meals a day you need to take in and in every case, if you're serious about it, you're actually better off taking a I Kings or a PrePost for breakfast and then a PrePost or a I Kings in the evening before bed, not necessarily your evening meal, but before bed, an hour or so. If you're just trying to increase muscle density and tone then that may not be necessary.
   Interestingly enough, we use the same products for people that are either very sick and they need to stop losing muscle or put on muscle - just for the immune system, to bring strength and energy in order to heal. The same products we use for infants and the elderly and yes, even our serious bodybuilders and athletes.
   Thank you for your inquiry and best wishes in all of your athletic endeavors!
