It’s been just over 12 months since the biggest drawcard in UFC history Ronda Rousey was handed her first defeat since taking up MMA in 2010. The defeat at the hands of Holly Holm in Australia in November 2015 came after 12 consecutive MMA wins, 6 of them UFC fights. Unlucky fight number 13 for Ronda at it turned out. Now she faces fight number 14 on December 30th against the current reigning bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes, a fight that she has announced will likely be one of the last times we’ll see her in the MMA ring.
Update January 1, 2017:
After her loss against Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 (KO 48 seconds into the first round) Ronda released the following statement:
“I want to say thank you to all of my fans who have been there for me in not only the greatest moments but in the most difficult ones. Words cannot convey how much your love and support means to me,” Rousey said in a statement provided to ESPN.
“Returning to not just fighting, but winning, was my entire focus this past year. However, sometimes — even when you prepare and give everything you have and want something so badly — it doesn’t work how you planned. I take pride in seeing how far the women’s division has come in the UFC and commend all the other women who have been part of making this possible, including Amanda.
“I need to take some time to reflect and think about the future. Thank you for believing in me and understanding.”
When it comes to fighting style, Ronda has so far had a reputation for going in hard and fast; she’s won all bar one of her fights within the first round, usually in under a minute. Nine of those wins have been by armbar submission. And the only match she hasn’t won quickly came on the heels of an acting commitment which Ronda claimed had left her slightly under prepared for the match.
So how does a star MMA athlete, who is known for not taking vitamins or supplements of any kind, train. And what does she eat?
It’s All In The Diet And The Training, Not Supplements
A typical Ronda day when she’s in training leading up to a competition incorporates 6 hours of training, 6 days a week. To put that into perspective – the only other athletes who train that much are the pro’s that are paid million dollar salaries to do it!
Ronda’s workout regime incorporates a range of exercises designed to build up her agility, speed, and strength. And boxing. Plenty of boxing. Short but powerful bursts that work out the whole body, especially shoulders, hips and core, and help increase her power and strength. Plus shadowboxing, straight punches, and uppercuts.
She also works with 2-pound dumbbells but that’s about the extent of her weight training. For this sport she needs to be extremely fit, extremely fast, extremely agile and strong but not the type of strength that comes from a lot of resistance training. To finish up she’ll do some crunches, or similar, to get those abs toned.
At the time of her Olympic performances, Ronda was a vegan but these days she incorporates some animal protein into her diet. Not a lot though – a few eggs and something like a bit of turkey bacon. Her day starts out with a small breakfast of oat bran, chia seeds and hemp seeds. Hemp seeds are a great source of a range of nutrients not found in too many other plants. Lunch is usually a smoothie followed by her only animal protein intake for the day – generally an egg or two and some bacon. Mid afternoon is snack time and that’s a piece of fruit and half a cup of raw nuts. Dinner is another of her giant smoothies and then she has a cup of chamomile tea before bed.
One thing you’ll notice in this diet is the seeming lack of fruit and vegetables. And vitamins or supplements. But fear not! See those 2 giant smoothies? Those are chock full of raw fruit and vegetables. And why in smoothies? Research has shown that food consumed this way – either in smoothies or as soup, is actually more filling and lasts longer than eating the ingredients as whole foods. Ronda’s smoothies incorporate raw beet, an apple, carrots, blueberries, strawberries, red grapes, lemon, spinach, parsley, kale, celery, a chard leaf, coconut oil and more hemp and chia seeds. All precisely and exactly measured out of course.
As any good nutritionist will tell you, the best source of essential nutrients is a healthy balanced diet, not supplements. So with a diet like this, there’s no need for Ronda to take supplements of any type but if she did need to take any, we’re sure she’d be using Lean Optimizer™ and AlphaViril™. If you watch TV or read the news, you’ve possibly seen or heard about a supplement touted as the “secret”, and absolutely safe, alternative to chemical steroids that celebrities and body builders everywhere have been using to build those incredible bodies.
Well, today it’s a secret no longer because we’re here to tell you all about it. And we’ll also teach you (for free) how you too can build the same celebrity type muscular body. It’s all here in the special report we’ve put together about Lean Optimizer™ and AlphaViril™, two of the most exciting new products to hit the fitness and body building scene for some time.

Workout Supplements – Everything There Is To Know About Them
Have you often felt that building muscle is an almost impossible challenge?
We have reported about a lot of ‘fashionable’ muscle programs, only to be disappointed by the expense and the lack of authentic results. It’s not that there’s anything ‘faulty’ about many of the programs. It is simply that they impose on your daily life with often-unrealistic restrictions, especially regarding diet. Some routines highlight the importance of eating plenty of protein.
Others lay emphasis on the worth of carbohydrates. However you look at it, it usually entails a number of pretty extreme changes to your diet and who really wants to have to do that?! So when we learned about these supposed Workout Supplements we thought we would have a detailed look at them. We figured that if they did even a half of what they are alleged to be able to do then we could be looking at the beginnings of a new-found and promising trend that is user friendly AND generates real results.
Something we found out is that trainers are calling this new supplement stack “nature’s steroid alternatives”. Steroids are a crucial factor in muscle building and fat burning so it’s exciting news to discover a entirely natural product that lacks the bad rap of chemical steroids yet still works exceptionally well to realize the same fat burning and muscle building results!
So what are these Workout Supplements we have heard a lot about?
They are called Lean Optimizer™ and AlphaViril™. If you watch TV or read the news, you’ve maybe seen or heard about a supplement plugged as a “secret”, and totally safe, substitute for chemical steroids that celebrities and body builders all over the place have been using to build up those amazing bodies.
Well, today it is a secret no longer because we can reveal everything about it. And we’ll also inform you (free of charge) how you too can build the same celebrity type well-muscled body. It is all here in the special report we’ve composed about Lean Optimizer™ and AlphaViril™, two of the most exciting new products to hit the fitness and body building scene for quite some time.
Why The Sports Elite Are Using Muscle Supplements
When it comes to losing unhealthy body-fat and gaining action star muscle nothing works quite like Lean Optimizer™. This muscle builder contains a lot of anti-oxidants and has some pretty powerful strength building characteristics which combine to make it a standout leader among muscle building supplements. Lean Optimizer™ is made from high quality, pure ingredients combined into a proprietary formula that is designed to provide the energy and additional strength required to do some astonishing lifting. And even better, it cranks up your metabolism and removes body-fat fast. When taken with AlphaViril™, a testosterone booster bar none, the results are nothing short of an automatic muscle-building machine.
Testosterone is a vital hormone that plays a critical part in regulating a number of basic bodily processes including efficient metabolism of fat, muscle building, regulating mood and energy, and bone formation. The verified, all natural formula of AlphaViril™ supplies a testosterone boost like no other similar supplement available currently. It is no wonder then that when AlphaViril™ and Lean Optimizer™ are taken together the results are amazingly mind-blowing.
However, one certainly understands if you are a tad unsure because, to be perfectly honest, so was our team. Everything about this muscle building/fat-burning combination definitely shouted ‘fad’ to us when we first learnt about it. Yet despite the fact that our ‘it’s just a fad’ radar was shouting loudly at us the significant number of success stories just kept rolling in. From everywhere. That more than anything persuaded us to take a good look at this product that was creating such an uproar. And our team found that they liked what they saw. Notably the fact that people were obtaining extraordinary results without having to majorly alter their eating habits or their lifestyles. That’s a great big win/win situation in our book. Another thing that convinced us is that both Lean Optimizer™ and AlphaViril™ are clinically proven.
AlphaViril™ Is Clinically Proven To
- Boost testosterone levels
- Shorten recovery time
- Increase fat-burning
- Super-charge muscle development
- Improve sexual performance
Lean Optimizer™ IS Clinically Proven To
- Improve strength
- Boost energy naturally
- Delay the onset of muscle fatigue
- Increase metabolism and destroy fat

One person we heard about – Andrew Smith from Colorado, writes on his blog how he lost 8 lbs of fat and stacked on 20 lbs of muscle purely by taking the recommended daily dose of the Lean Optimizer™ and AlphaViril™ muscle building stack over a 5 week period. He said that he “really didn’t believe it could be so easy. There were no changes to my diet or to my daily routine. All I had to do was pop two pills every day and the fat just melted off me like hot butter. At the same time all these muscles that were hiding underneath the fat appeared; most of them I didn’t realize I had. And as for my new 6-pack… Well, suffice to say that the girls don’t mind it at all.“
So the outcome of all our research was that our team thought we’d try Lean Optimizer™ and AlphaViril™ for ourselves purely to see if this muscle building supplement stack really does do all the things it is purported to do. I had been wanting to implement some healthy alterations to my body for a while now and I had entered a fitness competition therefore I volunteered to be the guinea pig.
First I contacted the companies that make Lean Optimizer™ and AlphaViril™, introduced myself and explained that I wanted to try their products with a view to reporting on my results for you, our readers. Both companies were keen to help out and agreed to ship me a month’s worth of free product. It duly arrived within a couple of days and the experiment was on……
For accuracy, I took my initial body-fat measurement and made a note of my weight at the start. I was a very unimpressive 150 lbs with a body-fat score of 14% and I had to get down to 7 – 8% to get the results I required and for the fitness contest.
And so I began ...
I followed a fairly simple routine. Just two pills each of Lean Optimizer™ and AlphaViril™ twice daily. On days that I worked out I took the pills before and after the workout. Otherwise I just took one dose in the morning and the other at night along with the AlphaViril™. My diet and exercise regime did not change at all. At the end of the 15 weeks, I’d packed on 13 lbs of lean muscle!!
Workout Test - Week 1-5:
One of the things I noticed during the first weeks on the new regime was how quickly and dramatically the Workout kicked in. For a start my energy levels were noticeably higher. I also wasn’t nearly as hungry thanks to the appetite curbing effects of the amino acids in AlphaViril™. All in all I felt unbelievable and I hadn’t had to change my daily routine at all. When Day 14 came around I hopped on the scales and got out the caliper to measure my body fat. Unbelievably I’d gained 4 lbs of lean muscle!
The results were impressive. I still wasn’t 100% convinced though. At the start of most muscle programs you tend to lose a fair amount of water. This unfortunately often comes without producing any lasting effect on the composition of your body. The tricky part would be seeing if I could sustain this amount of muscle gain over the remaining weeks. However, it was a great feeling to be weighing less than 190 lbs for the first time in years. I was keen to see how the next few weeks panned out.
Workout Test - Week 6-14:
My energy levels and focus continued to improve through the sixth week. I also found that I was sleeping much better due to the detoxifying effects of Lean Optimizer™, which in turn allowed more time for the muscles to recover and grow. As I shed another 6lbs of fat I could see the outline of the 6-pack starting to develop. Much to my girlfriend’s delight. Now I started to believe! These Workout Supplements really are everything they are cracked up to be.
My muscle mass continued to develop whilst the body fat simultaneously continued to disappear. The fat around my stomach and hips was no longer and I was now sporting quite an impressive 6 pack. Energy levels were also staying consistently sky high right throughout the day.
By the end of week 14 I’d lost an impressive 14 lbs of fat. I gained 12 lbs of lean muscle. Amazing results considering that it was around about this time that previous programs I’d tried, started to peter out. And the water I’d lost during the first couple of weeks returned.
Workout Test - Week 15:
The results of the trial were now clearly evident. Since starting a mere 15 weeks ago, I’d built up an amazing 13 lbs of lean muscle mass. With the loss of a further 6 lbs of fat, the body-fat percentage was now in the single-digit figures! Watch out fitness comp, here I come! Needless to say, everyone else here is now trying to get hold of free trials of Lean Optimizer™ and AlphaViril™….
Will I continue to use Lean Optimizer™ and AlphaViril™?
Well, I think the results speak for themselves as to the consistent and amazing results of this product. So yes, I will continue to use them. All in all, I really could not be happier with how the trial of Lean Optimizer™ and AlphaViril™ panned out. In just 15 weeks I’d gained an amazing 13 lbs of lean muscle. All without any special diet and with no severe exercise.
