THIS is just what Friday needs....another amazing giveaway!!!
Have you heard me talk about how much I love body building.com?? Well, I do. I am on body space, I buy from them, I wear their clothing, LOVE the site. I am THRILLED to say that BodyBuilding.com contacted me to do a give away of some of their amazing supplements that are being used in conjunction with Jamie Eason's 12 week Live Fit Trainer Program (I recommend a workout like that program, you can find it on Facebook!)
Jamie’s approach combines exercise, nutrition (I have posted her Pumpkin Protein bar recipe!), and supplementation. Jamie uses her training program herself to maintain the amazing physique she’s had for years.
In addition to a healthy diet and the right exercise routine, an ESSENTIAL part to building and maintaining lean muscle mass is the right combination of supplements!
Well, Body Building.com sent me TWO LiveFit women's combos--Optimum Opti-Women Multi-Vitamins, Optimum BCAA’s (great for supporting lean muscle growth), MRM 100% All Natural Whey and MRM Smart Blend (Omega 3’s!). And ONE lucky reader will get ALL of the supplements which is over 60 dollars in value and PRICELESS for your work in the gym!!
For one LUCKY winner!!
Over the next week, I will be reviewing each of the individual supplements and let you know how I like them and what their combined effectiveness is for me and my routines. I have been using my set for almost 2 weeks now and LOVE them.
BCAA: Amino Acids
BCAA 1000 contains a balance of Branched Chain Amino Acids, which are building blocks of muscle mass and size. Metabolized directly in the muscle, BCAAs, may improve nitrogen retention by sparing other amino acid groups for repair and rebuilding. -Bodybuilding.com
Essential BCAA is used in building muscle, and metabolized IN the muscle, not the liver which means they are more likely to directly build and less likely to be used in fueling. Once the amino acids are absorbed into the bloodstream they have far reaching effects across the entire body. Amino acids are involved in muscle repair (lean muscle building), essential brain functions and even hair growth--whohoo, long locks thanks to BCAA!
I alternate between taking these guys directly after a workout where I am lifting heavy ( or lifting at all) and right before bed to help my muscles continue to repair and grow overnight. I LOVE taking BCAA and have noticed a difference in size since taking them in general. I have been taking the ON BCAA's for about 2 weeks now and would recommend them to everyone!
ONE lucky winner will receive all FOUR items I am reviewing: Optimum Opti-Women Multi-Vitamins, Optimum BCAA’s, MRM 100% All Natural Whey and MRM Smart Blend!

My goal I am working at at the gym is to make myself a priority and to make the gym a habit again. Great contest!
Oh man, I'm on BB all the time! I would LOVE this!! One goal I'm working on right now is the hand stand PUSHUP! Got it pretty good against a wall but have a lot of work to get it free standing.
My goal at the gym is to push myself further than the last time. I love competing against myself and seeing my body getting stronger and stronger each day. Today, I did 10 full pushups in a row! Usually I only do 5 and then give up, I was proud of myself!
my goal at the gym is to take as many new classes as possible and push myself even harder than I ever have before. Cheers!
I'm working a 2x a week strength training and 3x a week running program to lower my body fat and build lean muscle.. I'm almost into the 30% range...my first goal. The supplements would be excellent training fuel.
My goal is to get as comfortable and into the habit of strength training as I am with cardio! This would be awesome!
I work out outside of the gym (running + strength training DVDs), but my goals are to lose body fat, gain muscle, and increase muscle toning!
I would LOVE to win this for my husband.. he works out at home and uses supplements to keep the muscles pumping.. His goal is to bulk up this coming year.
OOPS.. I guess I will win these for me and maybe join him on his quest for BUFFNESS..
I love Jamie Eason! I totally live a similar lifestyle as she does! Eating clean and working hard :-) winning combination! I continue to compete in a healthy way so this would be a great addition to my routine for my next competition!!
My goal is to lower my body fat as much as possible and get back into the habit of strength training like i was before
This sounds like it would be great.
This looks like the perfect addition to my life! I'm P90Xing life these days!
My goal is to find time to run. My second goal is to run run run in said found time :)
My goal is to keep up (and get even more disciplined) with my strength training. I want to keep increasing what I lift and I feel like these supplements would be a great boost :)
My goal is to focus more on strength and not obsess about cardio as much! I want to get lean and build muscle while doing it!
I'm actually starting her program soon! Love her and the site.
My goal is to make 2012 my healthiest, fittest year yet. Supplements like these would certainly boost that goal!
My goal is long lean & vital with continued discipline in my strength training. I want the freedom and vitality that brings and feel like these supplements would be a great addition :-)
My goal is to keep building muscle to help in weight loss and get me in my best shape possible for Ironman AZ 2012!!
My goal that I'm working towards is.... to run a marathon! I want to be a stronger, faster, better trained runner - to finish the marathon with a strong body and strong mind! I'm just getting into the habit of daily runs... but now I need to add strength training and build some muscle! :)
I have been suffering through a bought of injuries lately, and just this morning got the clear to try a pushup for the first time in 3 months!!! Needless to say, I couldn't do one on the floor but could do 15 on the wall! So supplements would really help me as I try to regain and rebuild muscles and totally push past an injury plagued fall.
Thanks!
My goal is to give strength training equal time as my cardio/running, since I'm slowly learning how the first can improve the latter! Hoping for an excellent first half-marathon time this year :)
I'm working on strength training by doing a Crossfit-like workout at the gym. It is so hard, but so awesome. I could definitely use the protein to help rebuild my muscles after the class nicely destroys them for me! :)
I need to get back on track for my goals. After the flu ran through the house & life happened I need help getting going again.
