Summer 2013 Beverly BEAT The bonds that you build when you train with others are unbreakable. There are things that happen during those training times that you remember for your entire life. Those stories go on and on! The fact that you have people that depend on your physical and mental support says it all. When you need a spot, there’s a hand willing to support you! Traveling and competing with team members creates all kinds of chatter! Hopefully you come home from the meet with smiles and a handful of good stories to share!! Here are a few Teams I would like to highlight. One thing we know for sure… they all have Beverly International Bonds in common!!! with Sandy Riedinger “Team Amor Beast & Beastly Beauty’s” - adele@amorfitnut.com Team Amor Our original team was just my husband and me. Now, 4 years later, we’ve grown to 56 competitors, 53 females and 3 males. Thirteen of our ladies competed in their first figure or bikini competition this year. Twelve placed top 5 and one won her pro card in bikini. Our goal is to teach each client how to look their very best on competition day. Everyone on our team uses Beverly to maintain muscle, lose body fat and enhance our energy levels. Team favorites are UMP and Lean Out. We’ve developed a ton of recipes, my current favorite is Cheesecake Pudding! "Cheesecake Pudding" 1 scoop Beverly’s UMP (any flavor) ½ cup non-fat or low fat cottage cheese 1/3-1/2 package of sugar free Jell-O Cheesecake pudding mix Water to desired consistency Stevia to desired sweetness After mixing, place in the freezer for 30 minutes. You can also add blackberry or strawberry Smucker’s sugar free jelly, Enjoy!! Note from Sandy: When I tried this recipe, I had trouble finding the sugar free Cheesecake pudding mix in the store. I ordered a case from Amazon. Since I had way too many on hand, I sent Adele a bag full of the mix as a thank you!!! It was a pleasure to share!!! It is truly a delightful concoction!!

Testimonials That Rock our world!!! Questions We Get 1. What happens if I get a container without a scoop? PRODUCT SERVING CONVERSION Muscle Synergy 1 scoop 1 heaping tbsp Creatine Select 1 scoop 1 heaping tbsp Glutamine Select 1 scoop 1 rounded tbsp Muscle Provider 1 scoop 1/3 cup UMP 1 scoop 1/3 cup rounded MMU 1 scoop 1/2 cup 2. Why hasn't your company offered a protein bar that can be eaten any time, any place? A. We have tried many different options over the years. A perfect harmonious mixture of nutrients, calories, taste and protein blend has not been found. It must meet our BI Standards. We will continue to work on this. We feel it would be a great additive to the line. Julie Reaumond I am 54 years old with 4 children. I began competing in figure competitions 3 years ago. Up until then, I had been using random supplements (because I thought I should) and really didn’t notice any significant results. My trainer, Keith Hunter, recommended Beverly products and I absolutely love them! I cannot say enough about the results I’ve achieved using them. I appreciate all the information that Beverly has provided me. Your products are truly superior to any other! I have competed in 5 figure competitions now and have done quite well… at least for an old bat! Thank you for being a big part of that success… keep up the good work!!! 3. What products are on the safe list to use while pregnant or breastfeeding? Marco Wall A. We suggest conferring all questions concerning supplementation with your OBGYN. From what we have seen, UMP and MP have been recommended. Always check first. Marco Wall sent me an amazing story. I’ve seen Marco in competition and never dreamed that he had a 44 inch waist and weighed nearly 300lbs just a few years ago. After much study and experimentation, Marco hit on a fat loss scheme that worked great for him, “I planned out my days as follows: 3-4 whole food meals (lean protein, green veggies, and complex carbs) and 2 UMP shakes each day. … Because I was so big, I found it difficult to work out like I had throughout high school, and I had to ease back into things. My plan of attack was to buy a pedometer and made a goal of 10,000 steps or more each day. My increased activity level coupled with my diet changes kept me consistently (and quickly) losing weight.” Marco now weighs in for competition in 170 lb range and looks great. He also has quite a Facebook following, so give him a look see. 4. What happens if I get a product that has a manufacturing date on it but no EXP date? A. You simply add 2 years to the manufacturing date. This is considered the BEST USED BY date. 5. Is it ok to take 7-Keto and Fast Up together at the same time? A. It’s ok to take them both during the same day, just not at the same time… Make note: Due to the amount of caffeine in both products, we suggest not taking them together. Better to wait a few hours in between each product dose. Example: take 2 or 3 7–Keto Musclean at 7:00 am, wait at least 3 hours (10:00 am or later) before taking 1or 2 Fast UP.

I asked him a few questions just to see how he incorporates BI in and out of his gym life. He has used BEVERLY for many years and routinely recommends BI to his clients for whom he designs what many of us are looking for… “The perfect personalized program.” Let’s read on and see what Mike has to say… “I have been using Beverly for many years. Interesting note: way back (and I mean way back!) I was first introduced to Beverly products in college. I continued to use Beverly while competing in the IFBB. When your livelihood depends on putting only quality products in your body, you need to use the ones you know work. A good friend of mine, Dr. Eric Serrano, always touted the quality of the ingredients in Beverly’s supplements, and I obviously wanted and needed the absolute best. Later, I connected with Roger and Sandy when my wife and I were exploring the possibility of creating our own protein powder. Some would see this as a threat, but Roger and Sandy took the time out of their crazy schedules to sit down with us and explain the pros and cons of the supplement industry. We continued to stay in touch over the years, and are truly grateful for our relationship with them to this day. Now that I am retired from competitive bodybuilding, I still want to stay in shape and be healthy, so Beverly is still a big part of my daily routine. Glutamine Select plus BCAAs and UMP are two of my favorites. I need the glutamine and BCAAs for recovery, especially as I get older and UMP is a great supplement to keep my protein intake high each day. Here's how I personally use UMP and advise my clients to use it as well. I mix at least 2 and often 3 scoops with my oatmeal each morning. I tell my clients that even if they’ve never liked oatmeal, they will now! UMP is also good to use anytime through the day as a meal (with fruit and almond milk) or as a ‘between meal calorie and protein enhancer’. A lot of people get that hungry feeling mid to late morning and or afternoon, and UMP is the perfect stop gap measure. If you are watching carbs mix your favorite flavor of UMP with almond milk or water. If you are not worried about a few extra carbs, add a banana or some berries to your UMP shake for a great tasting high quality treat! My clients come from all walks of life – from competitors to anyone who wants to get in better shape and live a healthier lifestyle. I communicate with them regularly over the phone and via email. My contact info is below to anyone interested.” Contact Mike Francois regarding a personalized program: mike@mikefrancois.com - www.mikefrancois.com. Or you may message him on Facebook Dextria Sapp Sandy... Thank you for making such great products, products that actually work! Your client advisors (Jennifer Main and Steven Wade) have been very helpful in guiding me to select the right supplements for competition. I placed top 10 in the Las Vegas USA show (Figure division) last year. With the continued use of Density, Lean Out, 7-Keto and Glutamine Select, I placed 2nd in the NPC San Diego show (National Qualifier) this past weekend. As a Certified Personal Trainer, I appreciate people that care about others. I have sent your website to all of my clients that are looking for products that will take their fitness to the next level. Keep doing what you are doing, it is appreciated!!! - Sincerely, Dextria Sapp 18 Beverly International 1-800-781-3475 Carl Hill Carl Hill, from Tuscaloosa, AL made an amazing comeback after tearing his elbow ligaments – not once – but twice in 12 weeks. Carl said, “I was feeling great as I slowly rehabbed my elbow from the first tear. I decided it was time to test my bench. The weight was light, rep 1, rep 2, rep 3. ‘This is alright,’ I thought. Rep 4, rep 5, rep 6… rep 9; finally, my strength was returning! Then the sound no lifter wants to hear – POP. I knew instantly; my elbow was torn again. A return trip to my orthopedic doctor resulted in immediate surgery.” Competition plans for the year went out the window, or did they? Carl postponed his competition plans from June to August, targeting the Heart of Dixie contest (just 7 months after his surgery). I’ll let Carl pick up his story again, “I supplemented my diet with all things Beverly: Ultimate Muscle Protein (UMP), Creatine Select, Muscularity, GH-Factor, Muscle Synergy, Density, Joint-Care, 7-Keto, and Lean Out. At first I was discouraged by how small my surgically repaired arm was, but I kept on taking my supplements and I kept on training. Effort multiplied by time equals reward and it paid off! That August I won 1st place in the Master’s Division, 1st place in the Master’s Overall, 1st place in Jr Middleweight, and Jr Division Overall. I thank God for giving me strength, my family and friends for their support, and the wonderful team at Beverly who is always available to answer questions and ship orders quickly. Most recently I placed 1st in the Master’s Division at the 2012 Alabama State. It’s good to be 45 and feel 30!” Diana Schwark "I just want to express my gratitude for your products. Seven months ago, on my 38th b-day, I decided to learn what I could about competing in figure. My local gym referred me to an amazing trainer who subsequently referred me to Beverly International supplements. Last weekend, I absolutely KILLED the MR/MS NATURAL MINNESOTA competition by winning 4-1st place trophies. Here are the supplements I used for contest prep: UMP (1 scoop midday as a snack and 1 scoop post-workout), Lean Out, Muscle Synergy (pre-workout), Glutamine Select (post-workout), Mass Aminos (pre and post-workout), and EFA Gold". - Sincerely, Diana Schwark Marc Bona What a haul of Trophies!!! Diana is certainly going home with a full load!!! "I just wanted to drop a note and say I always come back to BI. I’ve tried all the other protein supplements out there and they all cause discomfort in my gut. UMP is the KING of proteins. It’s the best tasting protein out of the container hands down. Keep making quality supplements and I’ll keep coming back."

I love you guys so much... we’re so blessed to use you for the last 10 years. U guys r the best!!!!!" - Joseph Byler, Star Fitness, Marshall MI Kerry Tighe From a Track & Field Athlete--to a figure competitor- and now to an Ultra Miler!! Way to go Kerry girl!!! Beverly International is so proud of you! I get winded watching you change up your competitions!! Check out what Kerry ate and drank during her LOOOONG 50 mile run/race! “Sandy, I burned about 6000cal yesterday and thousands more while training, BUT I have eaten more carbohydrates in the last 6months than I have in the last 6years. My body is in carbo shock! Before the race I ate kashi, bananas, and ½ bagel. During the race at various intervals I had Gatorade gel blocks, Power Bars, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, ½ turkey wrap, a Coke (my first in years), and Gatorade. Last night I had a beer and a pretzel sandwich before bed. My supplement intake for the race was similar to that during my training over the past 6 months: Ultra 40, Density, Energy Reserve, Fit Tab, EFA Gold, and Joint Care with my pre-race meal and again 4 hours into the race. I also took Glutamine Select once or twice every day and UMP at least once each day. I'll be keeping it going....I qualified and will be running the Pike's Peak Ascent in August - 14miles up to the top of 14,000ft.” NKY TEAM Pictured here is just a small part of our NKY show TEAM. Over the years, our team has built beautiful friendships, strengthened our Beverly Bonds, experienced all kinds of crazy situations, and most of all, we have created memories (and lots of them). Roger and I resigned our positions with the NPC this year and have decided to make the 2013 Northern our final contest promotion. After 30 + years, the legacy left behind is unforgettable. We sincerely thank ALL of our Team members, past and present! Those who worked with us over the years gave unwavering support, time and dedication to Beverly and to our ever-changing sport. It’s been a great ride!! In life, nothing stays the same. Adaptation is necessary!!
