Imagine continuously adding pounds of muscle mass, month after month, and year after year. The muscle size, strength, and extremely ripped conditioning experienced from "The Continuous Cycle" may prompt your friends to stare at you in amazement and leave your gym buddies puzzled with jealousy at how your muscles always stay so massive and rock hard.

L-Arginine Powder - L-Arginine is a conditionally essential basic amino acid involved primarily in urea metabolism and excretion as well as DNA synthesis. Arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide, which the body uses to keep blood vessels dilated which can provide bodybuilding and sexual benefits. It also assists in wound healing, helps remove excess ammonia from the body, stimulates immune function, and promotes secretion of several hormones, including glucagon, insulin, and growth hormone. NOW® L-Arginine Powder is a 100% pure, free form, pharmaceutical grade amino acid. Low Carb Lean Body is the instant, delicious meal replacement drink mix that provides extra protein and nutrients that you need, without extra carbohydrates or calories. Low Carb Lean Body makes it easy to stay in great shape, and perform at your peak! Just tear open an easy-to-use packet and stir into 16 oz. of ice-cold water to make a smooth, delicious shake. Low Carb Lean Body® tastes so good that it was awarded an American Tasting Institute Gold Medal! Each packet of Low Carb Lean Body® is a nutritional powerhouse containing a big 42 grams of high quality protein, only 12 grams of carbohydrates, and 24 essential vitamins and minerals! 6-OXO™ - The most effective estrogen-blocking supplement ever created! 6-OXO™ is what is known as a suicide inhibitor of aromatase - to both reduce estrogen and increase testosterone. This means that 6-OXO™ binds to the aromatase enzyme in a permanent and irreversible manner, rendering it inactive. The result of this is an eventual diminishment of aromatase enzyme in the body and a concomitant reduction in estrogen levels. A corresponding increase in testosterone production is usually experienced as well. Whey Matrix from ISS Research is a 5 pound blend of Whey Protein Concentrate and Isolate enhanced with Glutamine Peptides. Whey Matrix is a clean filtered, un-denatured, Aspartame-free protein powder mix that is highly digestible! Whey Matrix mixes instantly with a spoon or in a Shaker bottle. No messy blender clean-up! Excellent value! Just $26.95 for 5 pound canister Golden Flax Seeds - Flax seeds are an important source of polyunsatured fatty acids, including Omega-3, plus Magnesium, Zinc and dietary fiber. Flax oil from flax seeds is the richest known source of linolenic acid. It contains protein, mucilage, phytosterols and lignans. Grind your own seeds on a daily basis for the freshest and healthiest seed oil. Add to cereals, salads and blender drinks. Stevia Extract Packets - Stevia is an herb which is about 300 times sweeter than cane sugar, or sucrose. Stevia is not absorbed through the digestive tract, and therefore has no calories. Now available as a dietary supplement in white powder form in convenient packets. Gluten Flour - From High Protein Wheat. NOW's Gluten Flour is derived from durum wheat. It is considerably higher in protein (70% protein) than most other gluten flours - and is quite low in carbohydrates. Gluten Flour is useful in making low carbohydrate breads and is also suitable for making seitan, a vegetarian meat like substitute. McCann's Irish Oatmeal - Steel Cut Oats are whole grain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into only two or three pieces. They are golden in color and resemble mini rice particles. Steel Cut Oats are not the same as Rolled Oats which are flake oats that have been steamed, rolled, re-steamed and toasted. Due to all of this additional processing they have lost some of their natural taste, goodness and texture. Steel-cut oats are inherently full of nutritional value and are high in B-Vitamins, protein and fiber while low in salt and unsaturated fat. The quality of Irish Oats and the distinctive crunchy texture make McCann's Steel-Cuts a gourmet delight. Weight Training Gloves, Belts, and Wraps And Many More Specials! GET FREE STUFF!

Printer-friendly format Fitness Celebrity Interview Liza Lancaster By Jason E. Cohen, Esq., WNBF Pro Bodybuilder What has been the most exciting moment in your modeling career to date? Liza: I have had a lot of exciting moments and have had some opportunities to work with some great people. Recently, I coordinated a Fredericks Of Hollywood shoot and worked with supermodel Gezele. I have also received a lot of notoriety for my recent Harley Davidson "Bikers and Babes" calendar. Every model I have ever talked to has held down some pretty low jobs, tell us some of yours, was it stripping, fast food, toll booth operator? Liza: Actually, I am pretty lucky as far as that goes. I have owned my own beauty salon for many years so I never really needed to do any of the "odd" jobs people sometimes need to do to survive. Did your life as a model ever veer close to a direction you didn't want it going in? Liza: I consider myself pretty level-headed. The key is to be a good judge of character. If you give some people even the slightest opening they will attempt to take advantage of you. I try to lay out my ground rules in advance - business is business! If you had your choice of any acting job in Hollywood what would it be and what actress would you want to portray? Liza: I could see myself in an adult-thriller. People tell me that I look like Catherine Zeta Jones all the time. I loved her in Traffic and could totally see myself playing her. You live in Atlanta and are from Jacksonville. In books and movies, Southern women always spout wisdom about love and sex. What were you taught? Liza: I was taught to be the best person I can be. Everybody makes mistakes and surely I have too, but the key is to learn from and try not to repeat the same mistakes. Geeeze, if I had "wisdom" about love I would have already written a book. When it comes to sensuality, are you most often the teacher or the pupil? Liza: Definitely the teacher! So are you the kind of teacher who believes in spanking? Liza: It depends what you did to deserve it! What turns you off in a guy? Liza: Arrogance! Would you be more impressed if a guy picked you up for a date in a Ferrari or a Hummer? Liza: I'd have to say the Hummer. A guy once picked me up in a Ferrari and that's all he talked about. Little did he know he could have picked me up in Yugo and I would have had a better time with him. What turns you on more in a man - a sense of humor or a sensitive guy? Liza: Can't I have both? You tell me you stay in this kind of shape 365 days a year, how do you do it? Liza: Believe it or not, I do. I have had the opportunity to work with some great trainers here in Atlanta. Anything else you would like to add? Liza: I just wanted to thank Naturally Ripped News for the support and the opportunity to appear in the magazine. - Liza Lancaster
