Welcome to Beyond

The long awaited RDS Quick & Dirty Guide to supplements is now
here in your hands.
For the longest time, I’ve always been getting asked what supple-
ments I took that took me to where I’m at now.
Everyone would ask me what my “secret” was...
Let me tell you the truth… as a lifetime natural athlete, I can hon-
estly say that the journey IS more difficult.
We have to rely on our own natural abilities as well as keep our

resilience and motivation at constant all-time high.
And look, we’re all human.
Sometimes we get down on ourselves, or sometimes we’re not in

the zone…we lose motivation.
I get it.
So that’s why I’ve turned to these supplements to really give that

extra edge needed to optimize the journey itself.
Think of them like the Ace up your sleeve, the hidden dagger.
They’ve made my journey that much more easier, and came to

my aid when I needed them most.
The journey will be a challenge regardless, but with the help of

these supplements...

Beyond the Barbell
...the journey can be WAY less bumpy and WAY more enjoyably
smooth…
And lets not forget some might even exceed our expectations and
QUICKEN our journey itself to our desired goal.
But keep in mind...
These supplements have aided me in my journey to greatness,

but remember to have courage, heart, desire and persistence.
If you have these in your tool belt, then the supplements are
going to create an even BIGGER boost for you. It’s a win-win.
Here’s a quick layout of how I structured this guide.
I’ve titled each chapter with what hidden powers each supple-
ment can give you, and gave it a chapter number, 11 for example.
Also, I’ve made it WAY more easier for you to take a look at what
I’m talking about with a simple red box (or circle). So if you’re up
for taking me up on my recommendation (which I recommend
you do), then simply click inside the red box and you’ll be taken
to the source…This saves you hours from searching for things on
your own.
You’re about to enter Beyond the Barbell, where I list the BEST
ways to powerfully boost your Physique Building journey while
doing so 100% naturally.
LET’S GO!

1. RECOVERY
The very first thing you need thats absolutely vital to get the
most out of your journey is REST and RECOVERY.
I’ve been down the beaten path of sub-optimal recovery, fatigue,

drained CNS (Central Nervous System)…
And let me tell you…
It’s the worst thing in the world...
Having to go about your life feeling like you’re only performing

half as optimally as you really can be.
And I’m not just talking about in the gym.
I’m talking about at social events, at work, and even romantic

life…
Rest and recovery impacts ALL of these areas….so without

it, you’re pretty much screwed (unless you’re okay with feeling
like a zombie).
Had I discovered what I’m about to share with you now...
My life would have been SO much easier...Filled with way more

energy and optimism.
So how do we optimize sleep, rest, and recovery NATURALLY?
Allow me to explain...

Science has pointed to magnesium.
Surprising, and almost sounds totally random.
I know… but this stuff WORKS.
The thing about magnesium is that actually helps in muscle

soreness, inflammation, reduces oxidative stress in the body.
Along with rapid muscular regeneration and tons of other great

benefits.
An increase in the ability to recover and regenerate also help in

supercharging your metabolism so that you crank out more
energy and burn more fat.
This specific brand actually does tests for poisonous MERCURY,

whereas other brands do not.
Click here to maxmize REST and RECOVERY for more energy

during your lifts, social life...or romantic life, and work.

2. SIZE
Theres no doubt within my mind that Whey protein is probably
the most important bodybuilding supplement out there for pack-
ing on size and strength.
Let’s face it. Without protein, your journey to physique building is

a battle fought uphill.
Protein is a necessary component to preserving and building

muscle.
Each scoop of whey contains about 30 grams of protein that’s

easily digested by your body.
It contains essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of

protein necessary for muscular development and growth.
Whey protein contains:
• Alpha-lactoglobulin
• Beta-lactoglobulin
• Bovine serum albumin (BSA)
• Immunoglobulins (IgG1, IgG2, secretory IgA and IgM)
• Smaller components: iron binding proteins (lactoferrin,
lactoferricin), calcium, potassium, sodium, phosphorous, folic
acid, biotin, and vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B3, B5, and B12.
Not only does whey provide these essential micro and the one
and only macronutrient that your body NEEDS for growth, but it
goes down conveniently with your favorite beverage, too.

Beyond the Barbell
If I were to replace all my whey shakes with chicken breasts…I’d

be looking to get somewhere around 220grams of protein only
from chicken breasts. Thats nearly 25 ounces of chicken breasts,
or 1.5 lbs of meat!
No thanks!
As long as you’re getting other micronutrients in from your bal-

anced diet, then taking multiple shakes a day won’t hurt.
Make sure you wash it down with plenty of water throughout the
day, too.
Whey protein is a must.
Stick with one that your stomach won’t toss and turn with, as I
often hear that different protein brands will have different effects
on people, depending on their stomach sensitivity.
You’ll also notice that whey protein will reduce your hunger, which
will keep you satiated until its time to get your big meals in…who
likes to stay hungry?
Take at least a scoop or two after your workout, preferably 30-50

minutes before a lifting session.
And if you don’t? It’s not the end of the world, and your gains
won’t disappear. Don’t worry, your workout will not have been in
vain if you don’t fill that ‘anabolic window’, but it’s good to opti-
mize this opportunity and get your protein in post-workout.
Just make sure that you hit your very own macronutrient goals
for the day and you’ll see incredible improvements in your phy-
sique.

Beyond the Barbell
3. ACCELERATION
Gut health is important if you’re wanting to make any kind of
progress in your mind and body.
Any bodybuilder or athlete needs to seriously consider their gas-

trointestinal health.
No kidding.
I can’t count how many times I’ve heard my friends saying they
eat all this chicken, beef and whey but they’re not capitalizing on
the power of protein - it ends up just getting wasted!
I’ve heard countless times of the dangers these bad habits can do
for your health.And hey, I’m all for optimal health, maximal gains
and maximal benefits of any natural supplement.
AstraZyme is a proprietary all natural plant derived compound

extracted from Panax ginseng and Astragalus using a proprietary
processing technology.
It’s been proven in twelve In-vitro studies to significantly enhance

the absorption of many important nutrients...
I’ll save you the science jargon, but in essence...
You’d be getting 3x more out of each gram of protein.

Beyond the Barbell
Up to 66% more in certain cases — including key amino acids,

such as arginine, citrulline, and tryptophan... vitamins, such as
folate... joint-protecting nutrients like glucosamine…and of course
there are countless more.
So what does Astrazyme do? In essence, it’s the worlds most

potent and powerful protein-digesting enzyme for accelerated
muscle building.
This means that you’re getting the most out of every gram of pro-
tein you eat, without wasting any of it!
It’s been proven to:
-Explode your muscle growth an increase of absorption of

nutrients by 30% and up to 66% on other amino acids
and vitamins.
-Boosted recovery rate, giving the bioavailibilty of amino

acids you consume which will ultimately be used to repair
your muscle fibers faster and bigger.
-A significant boost in digestion, getting rid of undigested

protein (which is toxic for your body).
Every hear of so many athletes, bodybuilders and powerlifters

suffering from that bloated look?
Give your metabolic system one of the best supplements in the

world known for digestive health and watch as your mind and
body align into greatness. Check it out here.

4. VITALITY
Ever since man-kind has documented their adventures, they’ve
always been on some kind of hunt for the fountain of youth…
The elixir of life…
SomeTHING that would revitalize, reverse and keep you alive for-
ever.
Such thing doesn’t exist.
HOWEVER…we’ve come pretty close in the realm of science and

nutrition to fully optimize health and wellness.
By that I mean, gathering the right blends of herbs and

roots.
For example, did you know that Ashwagandha has been known
to lower stress and anxiety, gives you deep and restful sleep, and
skyrockets testosterone production?
A OT
AND
HA MAC T-RO
W AG BEE
ASH
Pretty neat, right?
Other herbs like Maca have been clinically researched, and to

scientist’s surprise, they found the root to be quite effective in
your romantic life, all the while reducing anxiety while keeping
you laser-locused.

Beyond the Barbell
My personal favorite of these herbs is Beet Root pow-

der…which is one of man’s oldest tricks to boosting nitric oxide
and increasing overall vascularity. It’s a double-whammy!
Good thing is, you don’t have to go on Amazon and order a ton of
different roots, grind them up and taste the true essence of their
bitter compounds.

Beyond the Barbell
5. ENERGY
Caffeine has long standing been one of the greatest supplements
known to athletes that significantly improves and enhances ath-
letic performance, hands down.
How do I know this? There have been nearly 20,000 studies that
examine the various benefits and effects that caffeine has on the
human body.
Not only does this miraculous substance give you that extra edge
during your lifts, it also reduces fatigue, and increases stamina by
a significant amount.
The downside from all of this is that supplement companies are

using the power of caffeine and marketing it in such a way that
which isn’t so healthy for our bodies…they throw in unnecessary
food dies, harmful chemicals that when taken in excess will leave
you feeling down and drained.
So what are the main benefits of this wondrous supplement, and

why should you take it, especially if you’re doing M2 or the M3
training program?

Beyond the Barbell
Lets start with it’s metabolic effects.
Caffeine kickstarts the process of lipolysis, translates to your body

releasing free fatty acids into your bloodstream.
In essence, caffeine will give a little boost to your metabolic

system and help you burn fat while you’re grinding away in the
gym, building and sculpting your physique.
Remember, however, the primary driver of weight loss is being in

a caloric deficit. Use caffeine to get you there more easily! Caf-
feine has also been known to suppress appetite for some time.
Take caffeine with caution, however.
Taking too much can make your heart rate rise, and can often
give you the feeling of anxiety…not to mention that if you take it
too late during the day, it can prevent you from getting some
quality sleep.
One last thing to note about the downsides of caffeine is that

when taken too often, you can develop a tolerance.
This means that you’ll be needing greater and greater dosages of

it to feel its effects.
This is why I recommend you take caffeine only on lifting days!
What’s my verdict on caffeine?
ITS A MUST...and if you’re not taking it before your workouts,

then you aren’t going to optimize your lifts with intense focus and
drive.

Beyond the Barbell
6. POWER
Perhaps right there next to caffeine, creatine sits powerfully on
the throne of gains.
Creatine has time and time again been used and backed by ath-
letes of all and regarded as one of the most impactful supple-
ments in the natural athletic realm.
Why take creatine?
It’s got some major benefits, and so far, I haven’t heard of any
complaints from anyone taking it. Perhaps the only thing I can
think of is whether or not one’s stomach agrees with a certain
supplement brand.
I’ve seen people quickly switch brands after their stomachs throw
fits from their older brands. The results? They’ve not only maxi-
mized the benefits of creatine, but they’re stomachs have also
been pacified (note: this doesn’t happen often, but that’s really
the only downside I can think of creatine in my 10 years of taking
it!)
So, what are the upsides of creatine, anyways?

Creatine has shown to:
• Increases muscle strength and size
• Enhances recovery
• Improves sprint performance
• Enhances brain function

Beyond the Barbell
If used properly, this can be one of the most impactful and reli-
able supplements for your journey.
What do I mean by using creatine properly?
Well, you’re going to have to be doing some training in order for

creatine to be maximized and used by your body.
It won’t do you any good if you take creatine and think that its
effects will magically start taking place in your body. It’s not how
creatine works. You’ll need to be training hard, drinking plenty of
water, and making sure everything else along your journey is opti-
mized (diet and sleep especially).
Take creatine to really supercharge your journey of Physique

Building.
It’s been known to enhance recovery and repair muscle cell

damage significantly. Faster recovery = better results.
One last thing I want to say about creatine. It’s probably the cool-
est supplements out there because you see it’s immediate effects
right in front of you. In the mirror. It’s been proven that creatine
is a powerful force behind the muscle volumization effect. What
does this mean?
Creatine’s molecular property causes muscle cells to inflate, which

is what you see in the mirror- a heavier and more dense muscle
appearance while serving as a stimulus for protein synthesis.

Beyond the Barbell
Among other things, creatine:

• Promote greater gains in increasing FFM (Fat Free
Mass, which includes muscle mass).
• Increases muscle fiber size; hypertrophy.
• Increases muscle mass.
• Increases myosin.
• Improves maximal strength.
• Improves maximal power.
• Improves single-effort sprint performance.
• Improves worked performed during repetitive sprint
performance.
• Improves performance during exercise of high to maxi-
mal intensity.
• Improves recovery following endurance activity.
• Has a neuroprotective function.
• Enhances bone regeneration.
• Improves muscle and performance in vegetarians
Especially if you fall within these categories:
1. Bodybuilders and strength athletes.

2. The aging population.
3. Those with naturally lower levels of creatine (people, such
as vegetarians, who have a lower base level of creatine)
I could go on and on about creatine, but the main thing is that

you take it on a regular basis.
I’d recommend you stick with only creatine monohydrate, and

take its recommended serving amount each and every day.
