Sherpa Strength's proprietary
formulation contains 233 phytonutrients that exert 503 synergistic
activities on your body. Many of these phytonutrients are widely
recognized for their contribution to Strength Development.
For example:

Thiamin - Engenders quicker recovery from muscle failure (Suzuki and Itokawa,
“Effects of Thiamine Supplementation on Exercise-Induced Fatigue”,
Metab Brain Dis. 11(1):95-106, 1996).
Suggested Use
Take one capsule after breakfast and one
capsule after dinner.
You
can
optimize your long-term musculoskeletal health by:
1) Taking Sherpa Strength -
Years of stressful living caused damage to your body. To help
reverse this, Sherpa Strength releases hundreds of phytonutrients that
increase your strength and energy, enhance your muscle mass, and
help you maintain long-term fitness.
2) Getting
Healthy
Sleep - Sleep is probably the most important tool in building muscle
mass. After a strenuous exercise, your muscles need recovery time. This
takes place in your sleep. During sleep, growth hormones are
produced and protein synthesis occurs to rebuild your broken
down muscles. Without this, the time spent in work-out is put to waste.
The REM (rapid eye movement), the deepest phase of sleep, is the stage
where extensive repair is done to your body. During this stage, your
muscles are in a paralytic state that allows optimal rejuvenation. 8
hours of sleep is recommended for both children and adult daily.
3) Increasing
Protein
Intake - The synthesis of muscle protein is essential to the body's
ongoing growth, repair, and maintenance. The human body synthesizes
protein from diet. Carbs serve mainly as energy for the body, while
protein provides the necessary amino acids to build and repair muscle.
For muscle growth, carbohydrates are not as essential as protein and
fats. High quality protein, which the body breaks down into amino
acids, should be the center point of all your meals. At least 1,000
milligrams of
protein per pound of bodyweight is recommended daily. Protein-rich
foods include soy milk, egg, lean meat, fish, tofu, grains, and other
legumes.
4) Increasing
Vitamin
B12 Intake - Vitamin B12 is important for increasing energy as it
stimulates production of red blood cells as well as processes
carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. It aids the body in digestion and
absorption of protein and carbs. Good sources of Vitamin B12 include
meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, and fortified cereals. At least 2.4
micrograms of
Vitamin B12 is recommended daily.
5) Increasing
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) Intake - Dietary fats play an essential
role in hormone production, which in turn is responsible for growth and
strength increase. Fat is a concentrated source of energy. EFAs are
unsaturated fats that are necessary for thousands of biological
functions throughout the body. They aid in the prevention of muscle
breakdown and help to increase your HDL level (good cholesterol).
Sources of EFAs include fish, shellfish, soya oil, chia seeds, pumpkin
seeds, and leafy vegetables.
6) Increasing
Water
Intake - Water is a miracle supplement. To utilize optimal physical
strength, take one8
ounces glass of water for every 10 to 12.5 pounds of
bodyweight
per day. It will not only facilitate natural detoxification but will
improve your bodybuilding training results. It will help your kidneys
deal with the extra protein and circulate the nutrients
throughout your
body. Water is the transportation system that delivers great nutrition
to the muscles.
7) Doing Compound
Exercises - Compound exercises are those which stimulate more than one
major muscle group at a time. They affect your entire skeletal system
and trigger growth throughout the body. The following are recommended
exercises effective for muscle growth and strength enhancement: Squats
(Legs), Calf Raises (Lower legs), Bench Press (Chest), Pull Ups (Back),
Bench Dips
(Arms), Bicep Curls (Arms), Military Press (Shoulders), and Crunches
(Abs). To ensure general fitness, Cardiovascular exercises may be
incorporated
to your exercise program. However, Strength training remains
to be the key to muscle strength and balance.
To have a
well-structured exercise program, you can follow the FITT (Frequency,
Intensity, Type, Time) Principle. The FITT Principle is applicable to
individuals exercising at low to moderate training levels and may be
used to establish guidelines for both cardiorespiratory and resistance
training. Here's a recommended training combination:
Cardiovascular Exercise
Frequency - 3
to 5 times per week
Intensity -
Moderate to moderately difficult activity
Time - 20 to
40 minutes per session
Type -
Rhythmic, large-muscle-group activity that generates faster heartbeat,
such as walking, jogging, jumping rope, swimming, and dancing
Benefits -
Reduces body fat, lowers risks of heart diseases, increases HDL (High
Density Lipoprotein) levels also known as the "good" cholesterol,
decreases clinical symptoms of anxiety, tension, and depression, and
enhances blood circulation and detoxification
Strength Training
Frequency - 2
to 3 times per week
Intensity -
Load or weight = 60 to 75% of the maximum amount you can lift one time
for a particular type exercise
Time - 1 to 3
sets (8 to 15 reps per set) each of 6 to 10 exercises involving all of
the major muscle group areas: chest, back, shoulders, arms, low back,
abdominals, hips/thighs, and calves
Type -
Resistance exercise that works the major muscle groups, such as weight
machines, free weights, exercises using tubing, or exercises using your
own body weight for resistance, such as curl ups, pull ups, push ups,
and squats
Benefits -
Burns calories to help you keep your weight down, increases bone
density which lowers your risk of Osteoporosis and broken bones,
strengthens muscles which improves your balance, and reduces your
chances of joint injuries
8) Breathing
Properly
- Slow, deep breathing is a powerful anti-stress technique. When you
bring air down into the lower portion of the lungs, where the oxygen
exchange is most efficient, heart rate slows, blood pressure decreases,
muscles relax, anxiety eases and the mind calms. Breath control can
also help your exercises become more rhythmic and regular.
Results: The
precise combination of ingredients in
Sherpa Strength along with a mind-body focus precisely addresses
your strength enhancement needs!
