TRUE STRENGTH OPTIMUM NUTRITION PRODUCT CATALOG TRUE STRENGTH myspace.com/ optimumnutrition Add us to your Favorites. 2011 2 3 Search the Internet and you’ll find all types of calculators and formulas for pinpointing the exact calorie intake and nutrient distribution to meet impressive goals. Any of them are okay to use as a starting point. Just remember to keep assessing your progress or lack of progress. Since everyone’s metabolism is unique, we all respond differently to diet and exercise. Here’s an easy starting point to work from: Nutrition is everything you eat and drink. Processed or natural, whole food or supplement, it all contains nutrients. The proteins, carbohydrates and fats you’re so careful to balance are macronutrients. Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients. The phrase ‘empty calories’ refers to a food or beverage that’s lacking a nutritional payoff. Often they’re loaded with saturated fat and simple sugars. Calories are high, but this drink or dish isn’t providing anywhere near enough nutritional support. Here’s how donuts and soda pop stack up: Typical Donut Calories Protein Carbohydrates Sugar Fats 299 5 Grams 38 Grams 15 Grams 15 Grams TRUE STRENGTH Typical Fizzy drink Calories 136 Protein 0 Carbohydrates 35 Grams Sugar 33 Grams Fats 0 4 Three Ounce Salmon Fillet Calories 121 Protein 17 Grams Carbohydrates 0 Sugar 0 Fats 5 Grams Don’t worry about weighing your food. The onethird to two-thirds plate rule works with about any meal. Divide your plate into thirds. One third should be protein foods like meat, poultry and fish. The other two thirds are carbohydrates. Vegetables, fruits, grains, that sort of thing. If you’re eating healthy and avoiding packaged/ processed foods, don’t worry so much about the fat. It’ll take care of itself. Now this thirds technique isn’t about plateloads. Resist the urge to completely cover every square inch of those 33.33% pie-shaped sections. Instead, base a one-third portion on the size of your clenched fist. A two-thirds serving is two fists. That’s an easy way to keep your calorie intake in line with your gym goals. Tracking your progress is the key to making this simple technique work. Keep a journal listing everything you eat and in what proportion. On another page, track your progress in the gym. How much weight have you been able to slap on the bar for each exercise over the weeks and months you’ve been lifting? It’s easy to see a greatly improved balance between calories and nutrients. Those numbers look even better when you consider the sugars in asparagus are natural, not refined, and the fats in your salmon steak are healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Even if you aren’t working toward achieving a size or strength goal, eating when you’re hungry isn’t the best approach to meal planning. Neither is eating until you’re full. Your brain’s satiety mechanism, which tells your stomach it’s full, takes about 15 to 20 minutes to kick in. That fist-size portion control strategy can help, but let’s expand on the concept of meal timing. Take your basic breakfast, lunch and dinner and add three more meals, so you’re eating six times a day. Not eating more, just more often. Since you’ll be eating twice as often, figure your usual time between meals and divide that in half. The average American spaces meals five to six hours apart between a 7AM breakfast, Noon lunch and 6PM dinner. That means you’ll be eating something every two and a half to three hours. The trick is shoehorning your workout into a timeslot where one of your six meals ends up being 30 to 45 minutes post-workout. Here are basic schedules for AM and PM workouts: At the other end of the dietary spectrum you’ll find ‘nutrient dense’ foods. Nutrient density is a measure of how macro and micro nutrient concentrations compare to the total number of calories. Consider these examples: One Cup of Asparagus Calories 27 Protein 3 Grams Carbohydrates 5 Grams Sugar 3 Grams Fats 0 NUTRIENT TIMING When you hit a plateau, unable to go heavier or for more reps, it’s time to completely rearrange your workout. Mixing up the order of exercises, trading bars and plates for sandbag or kettlebell training, subjecting yourself to a month of boot camp style workouts can all play a role in your continued progress. AM Workout Meal Timing 7 AM Breakfast 9 AM Workout 10 AM Protein Shake 1 PM Lunch 4 PM Snack 7 PM Dinner PM Workout Meal Timing 7 AM Breakfast 10 AM Snack 1 PM Lunch 3 PM Workout 4 PM Protein Shake 7 PM Dinner Eating every 3 hours helps keep your metabolism running. With six hours between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner, your calorie burning engine is idle for long stretches during the day. When it slows down, you’re not burning as many calories. The six-meal program also serves up a steady stream of carbohydrate energy and muscle-building amino acids. Because you’re balancing all six meals with approximately 35% protein, 55% carbs and 10% fat, the nutrient flow never lets up, helping to keep you energized, building muscle and using up calories. Spreading your meals out more consistently across your day also offers another advantage: Built-in opportunities to supplement post-workout when your body’s more receptive to nutrient support. This ‘window of opportunity’ approximately 30 to 45 minutes after completing exercise is almost as important as breakfast. Remember that eating more often does not mean eating more. The total amount of food you’re consuming remains the same regardless of whether you go with six or three meals. Keep checking those results in the mirror. If you aren’t seeing progress, adjust your nutrient ratios, portion sizes and meal timing strategies. Building a fitter, better proportioned body is a little different for every body.

On the field we do one speed session, four on-field sessions including teamwork, skills and kicking. In the gym we’ll do two or three sessions a week, depending on match schedules and the time of year. Obviously pre-season is a key time for us, and we tend to do intense training during that period.

On a whim, he entered the physique event and won his class. Bodybuilding appeared to be a sport that Charles was destined to master. During a 6-year professional career, Charles won the middleweight divisions at both the 1983 NPC Nationals and the 1983 IFBB World Amateur Championships, an event that had been known in previous decades as the Mr. Universe. Although he roles in some of his films, including Demolition Man, Passenger 57, Drop Zone, and Murder at 1600. Drawing on the accumulated knowledge that many years of weight training brings, and his background in engineering unique solutions for very specific applications, Charles’ work with elite bodybuilders has become legendary. His specialty has always been modifying the movements and angles of traditional exercises to target specific areas of an individual’s physique. This is a radical departure “I'm really just a hard-working guy who sincerely wants his clients to achieve all their goals” B TRUE STRENGTH odybuilders the world over recognize Charles Glass as the ‘Trainer of Champions’. He’s been called ‘The Yoda of Bodybuilding’, a reference to the Jedi Master featured in Star Wars films, and before he became a trainer of champion bodybuilders he was an IFBB Professional Bodybuilder himself. But to get the whole story on who Charles Glass is and how he became the Trainer of Champions, you have to start at the very beginning. 20 Graduating college with a degree in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Charles went to work in the aerospace industry, contributing on projects involving turbo prop engines, turbochargers and advanced aerospace technologies. As interesting as this work was, part of Charles had never left the field of athletic competition. He longed for physical challenges to complement the mental energy expended at work. Having been introduced to weight training while in college rehabilitating his gymnastics injuries, Charles worked with graduate students Bill Reynolds, who would go on to become editor of Flex magazine, as well as Dr. Casey Donovan. After getting the basics of resistance training down to a science, it wasn’t long before Charles became actively involved with Olympic lifting. His natural power was impressive by any measure. “Weighing a modest 144 pounds, I could snatch 245 pounds fairly soon,” said Charles. “Unfortunately my clean and jerk wasn’t as impressive.” From Olympic lifting, he transitioned into powerlifting and developed quickly. “I could actually bench press as much as I could squat, 400 pounds.” placed well, Charles never felt he was large enough to give the top Pros a run. “My conditioning was always excellent, but the judges seemed to prefer competitors exhibiting more size,” he said. In the meantime, Charles was becoming more deeply involved in the profession he’d ultimately become universally known for: personal training. Charles had been a member of the original Gold’s Gym since 1978, and was one of the very first people to walk through the doors when the current location on Hampton Drive opened in 1980. After getting several requests for personal training services, he started sharing his expertise with Gold’s regulars. Because of the impressive results these first few clients realized, demand for Charles’ expertise rapidly escalated. By 1987, he had left his engineering career behind to become a full-time trainer, a vocation that was still something of a rarity in the 1980s. from the status quo, and sets Charles apart as a one-of-a-kind trainer. Although he’s been involved in bodybuilding for more than thirty years, Charles remains refreshingly humble and down to earth. “I’m really just a hardworking guy who sincerely wants his clients to achieve all their goals,” he says. “I only take on clients who are willing to give one hundred percent, because they can expect nothing less from me.” Charles Glass is the Trainer of Champions and an ON Athlete Gold’s Gym Venice has always attracted an eclectic mix of personalities. Though the Mecca is probably best known as the training headquarters for some of the world’s most prominent bodybuilders, it’s also home to stars of other sports as well as numerous celebrities. Charles has trained actors Gregory Hines and Wesley Snipes, football star Howie Long, boxing great George Foreman and baseball legend Reggie Jackson. As a result of their training relationship, Snipes gave Charles TRUE STRENGTH Strength Of Experience Charles Glass was born on November 18, 1954 in Detroit, Michigan.

YOU SHOULD ELIMINATE ALL FATS FROM YOUR DIET... False! There are good and bad fats. Saturated fats are the bad kind. The good monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats from olive oil, cold water fish and flax are actually required by your body for a number of important metabolic functions. That's why they're called essential fatty acids. Those who don’t like the taste of fish can still reap the benefits by taking daily Fish Oil supplements. 1. DOING LOTS OF SIT-UPS BUILDS 6-PACK ABS... Totally incorrect. While doing sit-ups will strengthen your abdominal muscles, proper diet and whole body exercise are required if you want to lose enough body fat to let abdominal muscles show. The fact is, there's no such thing as spot fat reduction. 2. EATING BEFORE BED WILL MAKE ME FAT... It depends on your goals and nutrition choices. While a pint of ice cream watching late-night TV might add to your waistline, active individuals who lift weights and compete to win can benefit from a slowly digesting Micellar Casein Protein shake right before bed. The majority of muscle rebuilding takes place while you sleep, and the sustained delivery of amino acids from casein provide anti-catabolic support that promotes muscle rebuilding in favour of a continuation of the breakdown that occurs during exercise. 3. CUTTING CALORIES WILL HELP ME LOSE WEIGHT... There's some truth to this, but you lose a pound of muscle mass for every pound of fat lost on a typical diet. A better approach is redistributing your balance of carbohydrates to Proteins during calorie restriction, and following a regular workout programme. 2. MY EXCERCISE ROUTINE'S PERFECT JUST THE WAY IT IS... Because your muscles will adapt to the stress placed on them, those who want to keep seeing results after weeks in the gym would do well to change their workout programme periodically. This can be accomplished by adding more resistance, increasing the number of rep and sets, changing the order of exercises, etc. You might also try a more advanced post-workout protein like Platinum Hydrowhey® once you advance to a certain level. 3. WEIGHT TRAINING WILL SLOW ME DOWN... Not at all. Runners, swimmers and cyclists have a lot to gain from lifting weights, just as weight lifters can benefit from endurance exercise. There's really no down side to having greater strength. TRUE STRENGTH Wholly Oats! Bar / 100% Whey Crisp Bar PROTEIN BARS W NE T!
