Trista Lillian Anderson, Salem  Oregon

I take BCAA's, kre-alkaline, CLA, L-carnitine, Cleanse & Lean, grape flavored Emerge (love it), the  multi-vitamin, and glutamine.
I also get whey protein and the pb2! :)

I like using Emerge and  kre-alkaline

I like knowing they are the best  quality and everything I need is available in some form of Max Muscle  supplement

My diet plan usually varies with  weeks prior to a show. Mostly I maintain a very clean diet with one cheat meal  a week. Sweet potatoes, veggies, avacados, almonds, and lean protein is the  majority of my diet. Closer to a show, my meal plans are fairly strict  with adjustments to make sure I am ready for competition

Top 5 tips would be: to keep a  clean diet, stay consistent with workouts making sure to hit the weights, don't over or under train, listen  to your body!  Get lots of sleep and stay hydrated

I stay motivated mostly by the  way exercise makes me feel. I know it is the best medicine and it is essential  in my well-being. I love the results that come with clean eating and hard work,  it is so rewarding and feels great! There might by a slight competitive edge to  me that also contributes to my motivation ;)

Lori Harder has been an  inspiration to me not only because she leads a lifestyle filled with health and  fitness, but because she is so ambitious and has an amazing physique!

Being a part of Team Max is a  wonderful opportunity! I am thrilled! I am wanting to contribute  hard work, positivity, and determination for achievement to this team! 

"Go confidently in the  direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined"- Henry David  Thoreau

The most important piece of  advice I could give is to envision your goals, create the picture in your mind  of what you are wanting to achieve, and work towards bringing it to reality.

I like hitting hamstrings and glutes! Some of my favorite exercises are stiff-legged dead lifts and squats of  any kind!

I like to keep my training  routine creative, always mixing up different types of workouts such as TRX  suspension, Kettlebell, HIIT, weights, track sprints etc...I like to keep my  body guessing!
