Here at Echo Supplements we have an exclusive interview with Anabolic Designs CEO Joe Binley!
Joe Binley
First of all Joe, tell us about you – how long have you been training, what are your achievements to date and what are your goals for the future?
Well I started training with weights at 16, I was in college studying A levels and I found I had some free periods so I took this time out to hit the on site gym facility. I remember these days well it was basic machines and dumbells upto 20kg. This is when I started to catch the bug I used to be in agony for days after each session! I remember one session we first did legs just press, curls and extensions but I’d always push the limits and this resulted in me unconscious on the floor I woke up with the gym assistant holding my legs up to get blood around the rest of my body… I was then told I better rest and have a drink I uttered the words “I’ll be ok” and went back and started all over again. This kind of set the mindset for the years to come. As an overweight kid I liked the changes and compliments, I started eating by myself away from family and prepping my own meals from then. At 19 I went to university and upped everything as I gained more knowledge the more I wanted to try different training and nutrition strategies to see how I reacted from super high protein to low fat to keto!
I competed in 2010 in a first timers show and learned a lot! I’m all set now for a ukbff debut in 2012 working with Sibil Peeters the trainer from hell!!! She let’s me work hard so we get on very well indeed!
Next up, Anabolic Designs! What would you say is the concept behind the brand?
No real magic here just plain and simple I want my brand to represent my personal ethos, help people be their best! We do this with the highest quality products, innovation and a passion to educate. Where brands seek margin and profit we seek results and a loyal following. The best feeling I get is when people tell me how the products have helped them and that they love the brand.
This just drives me on to do more, we give back also, whilst our formula’s are the best and we genuinely believe this if we can improve when new materials become available we do it! Look at the new BullK we added NMDA a 20-30 pound product as a standalone we did this and absorbed the cost so the customer was not effected. Our passion is the brand and the loyal followers if we can be better, can be the first to market we will be and I think now our fans who buy our products see this and we have a high trust level which is what will set us apart.
Tauro Test is probably your most successful product to date – what seperates Tauro Test from the rest of the testosterone boosters on the market?
Tauro Test is so much more than a test booster its a complete natural body recomp tool with GH precursors, anti estrogen support, camp agonists, a delivery system and of course a market leading natural test blend. This is a very high end product but we launched with this so it needed to hit all other competitors out of the park which it clearly has.
We released Bullk to compliment Tauro Test forming our granite mass stack, gains of 5-10lbs in 4 weeks with a loss in bodyfat. These two will be the cornerstone of the brand in 2012 as the results keep being reported.
One of our most frequently asked questions regarding Anabolic Designs products is how long is best to run them for, and do they need a break?
Yes a break is always needed from certain products as the body adapts to anything over time. The granite mass stack is perect for an 8 week cycle, BullK’s active bulbine actually only peaks at 20 days so as tauro hit from day one bullk kicks in more after 3 weeks so you experience a further kick approaching the mod point of the cycle.
Ravenous is one that I keep in all year this is without doubt a must, of your eating you need optimise nutrient uptake, if you want to grow you need to eat more… Ravenous should be on most supplement stacks!
And another related question – Anabolic Designs products tend to give very obvious, quick results – how do they achieve this naturally?
We look for high end raws, we actually research and work with many chinese manufactures whilst we don’t buy direct we do the ground work on extraction rates and pricing so we can dictate hat grade of quality we want and also drive pricing so we can add more complimentary materials to each product. Its all about synergy in a product and making blends that will increase efficiency of each product.
Shredabull is a great example its a multi pathway fat loss supplement not just the standard stimulant based one that most companies go for! Many companies will think margin we think best results! That’s the difference. I worked 2-3 jobs in university to pay for supplements I know people need to be able to trust what they buy will be the best, anything less and it won’t be an AD product!
