Know Your Limits, Then Break Through Them!




It’s almost gone! Yes, that’s right! Any time a great OTC product works, it seems to get banned . Many online stores have already discontinued this AMAZING testosterone booster, but you can still get It here at Cutting Edge Nutrition!


What is Novedex XT? Simply a blend of naturally occurring anti-aromatase inhibiting compounds that have been known to dramatically increase natural testosterone levels! Novedex XT should be taken anywhere from four to six weeks, not exceeding four capsules per day. The best time to use this product is right before you go to sleep at night. The reason Novedex XT should be taken at this time is due to the fact that testosterone levels are generally lower at night, so this will help boost your natural levels while you sleep!

Who should use Novedex XT? Anyone looking to gain lean muscle mass should definitely take advantage of this product while it’s still available! This product also works well with Super Pump 250 and Size-On Maximum Performance. It’s definitely the ideal “Mass Stack.” So, if you’ve been looking for a way to exceed your genetic potential, Novedex XT by Gaspari Nutrition is definitely the way to go!

Mass Quest

Day in and day out, grueling weight training sessions of slamming heavy weights in the gym and eating beyond the point of feeling “Full” still leave your body at the same point it was when you first purchased your gym membership. “Why is this?” one might ask. There are several reasons why the body may not be responding to the current journey at hand, the journey to gain lean muscle mass is never easy! First of all, the most important and usually most over looked obstacle is lack of rest! Yes, the body has to have rest in order to grow ! Typically speaking, a body part should be given ATLEAST 72 hours of rest before trained again. With that being said, it’s generally not a good idea to even train a body part that often unless it is one of your weaker body parts. Most training splits for bodybuilding workouts provide anywhere from five to seven days of rest before being trained again.


The second factor to examine is nutrition! Although an individual may consume good sources of protein, are they taking in enough calories from complex carbohydrate sources and healthy fats? As for the protein, the best guideline to abide by is multiply your bodyweight times 1.5 and that is how much protein you need per day in order to gain lean muscle mass. Also, protein needs to be consumed every two to three hours, so the body will remain in an anabolic (muscle building) state instead of going into a catabolic (muscle loss) state. Don’t forget those complex carbs (i.e. oatmeal, sweet potato, brown rice) and of course, your omega 3 fatty acids! Ok, so how do people find the time to get all these good calories in and so often?

Meal replacements have been the answer to this dilemma for years! However, not all meal replacements are created equal. I can remember going to my local supplement store back in my teenage years and looking for a great weight gainer, so I could look just like the guys on the box! However, much to my disappointment, when I looked at the nutrition facts on the label, the sugar content was equivalent to buying a bag of sugar at the grocery store! Luckily for us hardcore athletes today, the supplement industry has evolved tremendously! Now when people ask what I recommend for a good weight gainer/meal replacement, I can HONESTLY tell them about REAL MASS by Gaspari Nutrition! This awesome product gives you 50g of protein and 78g of carbs per serving! Click here for more info about REAL MASS by Gaspari Nutrition

Preparing for War


The task of getting ready for a bodybuilding competition is never easy. It’s almost as if there are two kinds of enemies to fight in this war. The first being internal, then the second one is obviously external. The internal enemy, however can be disguised as a close ally, only if you know how to perceive what this “enemies” intentions are. Ok, let me explain the internal enemy’s role in more detail in the next paragraph.


The mind can carry the body above and beyond barriers that the body can not perceive of going at times. When you begin dieting for a bodybuilding contest, your energy levels generally go down. This is simply due to a decrease in calories (usually from carbohydrates) and increased activity due to the painful addition of cardio! So, as you go through your daily life, you suddenly begin to discover you’re not your normal hyper, chipper self. Instead, you’ve become a lethargic, ill version of the person people once knew.

Keep in mind this is a “normal” experience to go through while preparing for a bodybuilding competition. As the calories decrease and the activity increases, the mood is gonna be slightly altered. So, what this relates to in terms of both an ally and an enemy is simply this: The change in mood and lack of energy seem to be an enemy, however properly coping with this change, can be your best ally on the way to achieving your goal. When I was training for competitions I always lived by the thought of “The worse I feel, the better I’ll look!” Sure enough, the closer I got to contest, I was struggling to do my normal daily routine, but I was slowly revealing a physique I had no idea was there! So, there came the excitement and the “Want to” to keep pressing on till contest day!

No Ordinary Experience

Have your workouts been lagging and needing an extra boost? No matter how many sets and reps you do, you just can’t seem to get that “Swoll” feeling you get when you have a good muscle pump? Now thanks to Gaspari Nutrition, your worries are over! Introducing Super Pump 250, the most mind-blowing pre-workout product on the market today!


Super Pump 250 contains creatine monohydrate, NO2 Complex { L-Arginine, L-Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate(A-AKG), l-arginine ketoisocaproate, alpha ketoglutaric acid}, Gingko Biloba and caffeine just to name a few ingredients. So there you have all ingredients to provide blood flow to the working muscles (muscle pump), increased mental alertness (gingko biloba) and energy (creatine monohydrate and caffeine). Consumer beware, this product is so addictive, that once you train with it one time, you’ll find it virtually impossible to train without it!

I remember my first experience with it back in 2005 while I was training for the NPC Collegiate Nationals. I needed something to give me the extra boost of energy to make it through my workout, because I was so drained from school and work all day, my problem was solved with Super Pump 250! The pumps I feel while training with this products are absolutely amazing! How much should you take before you train? Suggested serving is 1-3 scoops approximately 45 minutes before training. I have found it best to use two scoops, but each one of us has a different tolerance level, so I recommend starting with one and going from there.

If you’re tired of dragging yourself into the gym and just simply “Going through the motions” my advice to you is simply try Super Pump 250. You’ll love the way it brings new life to your training!
