Digestive Health Series: Zinc L-Carnosine

by Andrew Berry on October 14, 2021

Zinc L-Carnosine is a chelated combination of elemental zinc and the dipeptide l-carnosine. (Carnosine is the amino acids histidine and beta-alanine bonded together.) Zinc-carnosine has been studied for over 20 years for restoring the gastric lining and lower parts of the GI tract, improving GI disorders, improving taste disorders, and enhancing the skin and liver.

In the Trenches with Andrew Berry – Part 1

by Andrew Berry on September 7, 2021

So, this one is hard because I am writing about the last contest prep that John helped me with. I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t looking forward to this one. It’s no secret that I ended up getting my IFBB Pro card, culminating my best competitive season ever. It was also my worst season ever. One day after getting off my first pro stage, I lost the guy that believed in me the most, the man that helped make it all happen, my idol and mentor and one of my closest friends and confidants I could be blessed to have.

Tori Batcheller, NPC Bikini Competitor

by Andrew Berry on November 15, 2020

So, it’s not every day that a competitor wants to cut their prep time in half. Tori competed in 5 shows last year going from placing outside of the top 5 to working her way up to winning classes at more competitive shows throughout 2019.

Like a lot of athletes this year, Kayla’s plans were changed due to the COVID mess. She was originally planning on doing the NPC JR. USA’s as her first national level show.

In the Trenches with Corey Smialek

This month I have a piece on a new bodybuilder that nailed his first prep. Corey had been training in the gym for a few years and the other guys always told him he had great shape and should think about doing a bb show.
