My Body (poem by JoshBme)
My Body:
My body is a gift. My body is not mine.
My body is on loan, have to return sometime.
My body is not for show. My body is not for fame.
My body is not for popularity. If life is a sport, my body is the game.
It provides my strength. It allows me to help.
It does not define me, but does define my health.
I use it to protect. It also protect me.
I will not abuse it, because it does not abuse me.
One day my body will fade. This I will accept.
Until that day comes, my body will be gratefully kept!
God Bless
This time, I am doing it right BB.com
My popularity will be gained not by body, but by heart. I am going to revise my relationship with this site and get myself back to form. Helping others, and working on spreading my knowledge and still learning some of my own. Yes I have website that is membership based, but that is because it is part of my living. Join if you want, it offers a lot. I have been blessed and look forward to helping out everyone that asks me for it. God Bless guys!
Bodyspace member Zyzz
Recently I found out bodyspace member Zyzz had passed away. His devoted followers and friends in the forums paid tribute to him by showing how he inspired them. His sudden rise on the inspirational list has been awesome! It has actually inspired me to get back to what I used to do on the site, and that is work the forums. I never knew this guy, but I have respect for him to do the impact he left on so many people on this site. God Bless him and may he rest in peace.
Betancourt Nutrition Reviews on Phosflex and Bullnox
Hey guys, these are some reviews and write ups I made for Phosflex and Bullnox from Betancourt Nutrition
Phosflex:
Connective tissue connects your muscles to your bones and bears most of the load as you lift weights in the gym. Whereas most products focus only on muscle, PHOSFLEX promotes the recovery of muscle and connective tissue in hard-training athletes, beginner through advanced. If you feel stiff and sore following heavy workouts, then use this formula made by the scientist at Betancourt. Only PHOSFLEX contains: • 3-Energy Creatine Complex: Creatine Monohydrate is the most studied and proven form of creatine. It supports ATP re-synthesis by increasing muscle levels of phosphocreatine. The addition of di-creatine malate and creatine alpha-ketoglutarate to PHOSFLEX™ takes ATP re-synthesis to another level –three levels, in fact. While creatine increases muscle phosphocreatine levels, malate and alpha-ketoglutarate support the function of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, a metabolic pathway involved in the re-synthesis of ATP. • Glucose Polymers: GPs are possibly the fastest-acting, purest way to deliver glucose to your body. They can be digested and absorbed very quickly, making them ideal for fast recovery of glycogen levels post-workout. • Waxy Maize: Derived from corn, WM is a slowly digesting, low-GI carb. It raises blood glucose levels gradually, which means that they come down gradually, too. This makes WM ideal for long, heavy workouts and individuals who have experienced sugar “crashes” with other carbs. • Leucine Nitrate: The branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) leucine turns on “switches” inside your muscle cells that allow rates of muscle protein synthesis to increase after resistance exercise. The nitrate attached to leucine can be converted into nitric oxide (NO), a potent vasodilator and regulator of muscle blood flow. • Banaba Leaf Powder Extract: Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) contains corosolic acid (CA), a pentacyclic triterpene that supports glucose levels in the healthy range. Though its mechanism of action is unclear, studies suggest that it can increase glucose uptake in muscle cells, thereby supporting recovery. CA has even been shown to have anabolic (building) effects on bone. • (1,3)(1,6) Beta-D-Glucan Powder: BDG is a naturally-occurring insoluble carbohydrate. Animal studies suggest that BDG is a potent immune system modulator that may reduce inflammation, a common symptom of heavy training. • Glycerol Monostearate: Inside the body, GM releases glycerol. Glycerol is hydroscopic, which means that it draws water around itself. When glycerol accumulates inside muscle and joint tissues, it hydrates and volumizes them, which provides hydraulic support. • L-Tyrosine: Tyrosine is a precursor to neurotransmitters involved in the regulation of mood. Supplementation with tyrosine appears to be most helpful under conditions of mental stress. • Potassium Bicarbonate: PB supplies the essential electrolyte potassium and helps buffer acid produced in muscle during high-intensity exercise.
Bullnox:
This is a highly purified and proprietary blend of physique and performance supporting ingredients which has been tested and certified by Betancourt Nutrition's own FDA-approved manufacturing laboratory. Each ingredient has been selected on the basis of its potential to promote: • Increases in energy levels • Support in cognitive function • Supports mood (well-being) and motivation • Reductions in perceived effort (so that exercise feels less difficult) • Increases in muscle strength, speed, and endurance • Increases in training volume • Increases arginine and nitric oxide (NO) levels • Increases in muscle tissue amino acid and nitrogen levels • Increases in protein synthesis • Reductions in protein catabolism • Supports healthy vasodilation and blood flow • Increases in muscle volumization (cross-sectional area) • Better quality pumps • Increases in exercise-induced muscle hypertrophy • Supports healthy hydration • Increases in electrolyte levels • Increases in muscle mass • Increases in caloric expenditure (calorie burning) • Reductions in body fat • Increases in androgen (e.g. testosterone) levels Feel the "Androrush" as it promotes: • Immediate androgenic stimulation: Support androgen (e.g. testosterone) levels as you train • Lasting neuro-emotive energy: The final set feels as incredible as the first • The anabolic potency of your pumps: Bigger pumps that lead to more muscle • Unbeatable strength-endurance: Lift more weight for more reps without gassing • Extended increases in arginine and NO levels: Blood flows like a raging river • Dilation of cardiovascular and muscular tissues: Gain size as you train The Bullnox Androrush "Super-Set" formula structure is intended to stay with you set by set: Set 1: Andro Stimulation: Epimedium leaf extract (standardized to 40% icariins), Lipidium meyenni (Maca) root, Pausinystalia yohimbe (Yohimbe) bark extract (standardized to 8% yohimbine), Tribulus terrestris seed extract (standardized to 40% saponins), Xanthoparmelia scabrosa bark extract 10:1 Purpose: Increase androgen (e.g. testosterone) levels; enhance muscle anabolism Set 2: Neuro-Emotive Energy: Anhydrous Caffeine, Citrus aurantium extract (standardized to 6% synephrine alkaloids), Glucuronolactone, Paullinia cupana (Guarana) seed extract (standardized to 50% caffeine), Salix babylonica (White Willow) bark extract (standardized to 15% salicin), Vinpocetine Purpose: Improve overall neurological performance, mood, motivation and energy Set 3: Cardiovasomuscular Dilation: L-Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, L-Arginine Pyroglutamate, L-Citrulline, L-Histidine, L-Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate Purpose: Increase nitric oxide (NOX) levels, blood flow and dilation/volumization of cardiovascular and muscular tissues; improve quality of pumps (faster onset, harder) Set 4: Strength-Endurance: Beta-Alanine, Creatine Monohydrate, Di-creatine Malate, Medium-Chain Triacylglycerols (MCTs), L-Taurine, Ubiquinone (Co-Enzyme Q10) Purpose: Increase strength endurance (ability to lift a given weight for more reps without tiring) Set 5: Anabolic Solidification: Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA), Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA: L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine) Purpose: Increase protein synthesis; enhance exercise-induced muscle hypertrophy; increase muscle size and hardness
New Beginnings
In life I noticed for me to learn, I usually have to make a few mistakes at something before I really get it down. I have learned, that life itself is like that. Mistakes are made, its how we deal with them that matters. We will all mess up at some point, we just cannot let it keep us down. I joined Bodybuilding.com back in 2003 with the want to be muscular. Nothing more, nothing less. It is easy to get lost in looking at all the bodies and people and losing focus on why you chose to join this site. Before I knew it I was one of the "popular" people because my body looked good. Through that I became a model, got involved with a supplement company, and everyone knew who I was it seemed like in my hometown. But instead of doing what initially was to just be weight lifting and pushing myself, I felt like I was making myself into a object to be looked at. As a model you really do not have a name, you are a body. Now outside of it you can contribute to other things and help advertise "you", but I am not good at advertising something like myself. My body is seen as a gift from God and I try to take care of it and keep it strong. Through that I try to help others. My whole mindset has shifted from where it has been for the past few years. Less of me, more of God. He is the reason I got anything and everything, even when I did not know it. God has a plan for us. And even when we screw up, He makes that a part of His plan. Satan tries to do what he can to get us off track, but God is always there to put us back where we need to be. I made my mistakes, but now I am good and moving on. So on to the blog entry!
Recently I stumbled across some awesome new opportunities and experiences in my life. FIRST OFF, I am expecting a baby girl here in 5-8 weeks. My wife and I are very excited. Since I was adopted I will get to see someone who looks like me. I never sought that out, but look forward to the experience. My wife and kids are good! God has blessed us. I also came into contact with Betancourt Nutrition and have been taking their product for the past few weeks with amazing results! I will post a video on Youtube talking more about them. Their line and people that work for the company are top notch. I look forward to a relationship with this company and helping them promote the line. Keep and eye out for them in the near future. You can see the line at http://www.BetancourtNutrition.com.
I also came across http://www.PrayFit.com, a website that intertwines faith and fitness. I highly suggest you guys check it out. My website http://www.JoshEnglehart.com is doing well. I am very blessed to be able to help and inspire so many people. Also check me out on Youtube and Twitter, both names JoshEnglehart.
I am going to start doing daily inspiration/motivation messages either on youtube or twitter, or both! I am also considering having a Facebook Fan Page made. I am so busy with family right now that time is hard to find, but it is there and I need to do what I can when I can. God Bless guys and thanks again for all your support!
Tips and SixPackBags.com
Just a few tips for you guys. I know the summer months are around the corner and we are all busting our butts getting those last pounds of stubborn fat off that we put on over the winter. If you are noticing your body has stalled in progress, here are a few things to look at:
*How long have you been on the same training routine?
*How long have you been on the same diet?
*What kind of supplements are you taking? And if you are taking any are they doing anything at all?
Best Regards,
Josh Englehart

JoshEnglehart.com newsletter
Whats up everyone,
Quick newsletter for you guys. This last update was
geared around loading the site with more content to paying members. So we
added some more free workout programs and some information on diets, such
as carb cycling and breaking it down so people would understand it more. I
am going to keep adding more free content to the site for the members. I
want your suggestions. I am going to put some more sample diets up and more
information on supplementation. Videos are easy but I still want to make
sure everyone is taking away something from the site, not just videos of me
and my life. So I ask you to give the site a try if you are not a member
yet. It is only 12 bucks for a month. I enjoy all the emails from members
who say the site is helpful and not like any other site that is made by a
"fitness model". I am about helping first, not advertising myself.
God Bless guys and join if you have not already!
