CLICK BELOW AND HEAR FROM AUBURN UNIVERSITY STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH, KEVIN YOXALL AND OTHERS AS THEY TALK ABOUT STRENGTH TRAINING AND HOW THEY INCORPORATE THE ADVOCARE PRODUCTS!
The University Interscholastic League (UIL) has indicated it will begin a random anabolic steroid testing program for Texas high school student athletes in the 2007
– 2008 school year. It has stated that "dietary supplements can contain, or be contaminated with, steroid-like chemicals that can cause a single ‘positive’ test result. A positive result on a steroid test will result in loss of eligibility for a minimum of 30 days."
We wish to convey the fundamental philosophies regarding the formulation and manufacture of products by AdvoCare International, L.P. Every ingredient in each AdvoCare product is listed on the product label. No ingredients are included which are not contained on the label.
AdvoCare products contain no banned or unapproved ingredients. Furthermore, no professional athlete has ever tested positive for a banned substance when using only AdvoCare products. AdvoCare strongly adheres to the highest principles of quality and integrity with respect to its products, and believes that it owes nothing less to its consumers.
AdvoCare bases its formulas on sound, scientific and medical principles and research, and utilizes established scientific knowledge as the foundation for its formulas while incorporating current research results from scholarly studies conducted around the world. Every formula is designed to be safe when used as directed and effective for each particular application.
The manufacture of AdvoCare products occurs in licensed laboratories. Quality control and quality assurance programs are part of the standard operating procedures for each facility and are governed by Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) as established by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. Analysis of raw materials, requirements for Certificates of Analysis, and various USP testing procedures for finished products are all part of the standard operating protocols.
Based on the age appropriate recommendations for AdvoCare products, student athletes and parents should have no concerns regarding positive
"test results" when using only AdvoCare products as recommended. Again, as previously noted, AdvoCare products do not contain any banned substances including anabolic steroids or "pro-hormones" of testosterone.
Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Rob Graf, Director of Endorsements, or me at AdvoCare International if you have any questions regarding AdvoCare
’s Performance products or the letter which was distributed by UIL.

I get many calls from parents who have younger athletes (ages 14-17) who want to maximize their lean muscle gain. The following program has been a proven winner and features many Performance Elite products that are OK for anyone 12 and older to take regularly:
Eat a good breakfast. Start the day with a strong foundation. Blend up a Meal Replacement Shakewith your favorite fruits, and don’t forget the CorePlex and OmegaPlex with your meal.
Have a snack before lunch. Around 10:30, squeeze in a Meal Replacement Bar. It’s packed with 17 grams of protein and it’s easy to keep on hand at school.
Fuel up before resistance training. Pop three Catalyst right before the workout. The amino acids will sustain your muscles and help rid fat.
Exercise the right way. When you’re working large muscle groups, I suggest doing 3 to 5 sets of 8 to 10 reps for each exercise. Follow a balanced approach to your routine. In other words, if you do 30 reps of a “push” exercise (like bench press), follow it up with 30 reps of a “pull” exercise (like low cable rows).
Enhance the recovery. The window of opportunity to significantly enhance your muscles’ recovery is about 60 minutes after you finish your last rep. Be sure to drink a Post-Workout Recovery Shakewithin an hour of working out.
Build up. Keep feeding your muscles the protein they need with a Muscle Gain shake 90 minutes after your workout.
Don’t forget to rest. Your sleep cycle is prime time for recovery, so be sure you’re getting plenty of sleep. Don’t cheat your body of the time it needs to repair and grow muscle. Shoot for at least 7 hours, and 8 hours is better.
