Ed Urbano Bodybuilding

Name: Ed Urbano

Sport : Bodybuidling - All Natural

Bio:

I am a retired carpenter. When I started weight training, I just wanted to tone up. The more I improved, the more I wanted. I did not get serious until 2009.

At that time, my dear friend Doug Brolus talked me into doing a photo shoot, which I was reluctant to do. But I thought that I would never forgive myself if I did not give it a try. The photographer told me that he thought I would have a chance to compete at Muscle Beach. I never dreamed or fantasized about competing. In my mind, that was for the Jay Cutler’s and the Ronnie Coleman’s. Again, I thought I should give it a try at least once. I took first place in the Men’s Masters over 70 and third place in the Novice. I was able to enter the Novice because that was my first contest ever. Very few guys enter all three contests in a calendar year and no male has won all three. I was blessed to have won all three contests in 2018.

I did not get here on my own. I have several people to thank for that. My dear friend Doug Brolus, who started it all for me, Bob & Gail Gardner, who did my first photo shoot, Abe Lojero, who did my third photo shoot & connected me to Muscle Beach, Mr. Joe Wheatly, the promoter at Muscle beach, and Eryk Bui, my trainer. Without him none of this would be happening for me. My journey would not be complete without each one of them. They all helped me in different ways but equally important. Eryk suggested that I compete in an NPC Muscle Contest, where you can win your IFBB pro card. I competed in the Southwest Classic in 2018. Terrick El Guindy is the promoter for the west coast NPC Contests. Terrick presented me with the Sword of Honor, for Most Inspirational Competitor.

I could never give them what they have given me. My trainer introduced me to Maca. By chance I found The Maca Team. I have been using Maca for six months, and I feel subtle changes for the better. I feel the best is yet to come because I am going to increase the black Maca from 65% to 80% along with the red Maca at 15% and the yellow Maca 5%. Mr. Olympia here I come (ha ha).

I want to encourage everyone young and old to live a healthy lifestyle. You can do this. Be consistent and you will be a winner. Remember QUITTERS NEVER WIN!

Which Maca(s) do you use:

Red, Yellow & Black + The Morning Motivator

What does Maca do for you:

When I’m training and I feel like I’m running out of gas Maca gives me the edge to continue. It’s not like drugs, it’s very subtle.

Update From 2022

After 2 years of missed events due to the pandemic, Ed was finally able to compete in his first contest in May 2022. This was located at world famous Muscle Beach in Venice, CA and sponsored by the legendary promoter of all things body-building, Joe Wheatley.

The Maca Team are light years ahead of anyone else selling maca out in the marketplace

I shop around a lot for my supplements and health foods, and I have to say you guys at The Maca Team are light years ahead of anyone else selling maca out in the marketplace. Thanks for all you do!

I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands

Loving the red maca from themacateam. I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands. It really tastes so fresh and sweet compared to others. I really love this product. Thanks for sourcing it for us to enjoy

The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price

I LOVE Maca Team Maca...this was my first purchase with the Maca Team and I have no need to try any other Maca-producer. The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price, and I feel so much more at ease (Maca is such powerful medicine :) )

The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares

I take 24 products from five to six times a week to increase my well-being and sensual and sexual delights. ;D The Maca Team’s organic maca is one of them—nine grams in my smoothie, Monday to Saturday. The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares about its customers, its Peruvian maca growers, and the environment. It's vital to know the source of everything we put in our mouths. Physical and mental health are precious treasures. :D

Your maca is sent from God, is a blessing and is superb

By Milt Thompson

This product is amazing!

This product is amazing! I have used other cheaper brands of white maca with fairly good results, but after trying the Maca Team maca, I noticed within two weeks all of my menopausal symptoms had completely vanished. Others described a bad taste and smell, but I have tried the black and the red and find them both to be mild tasting. I use a tablespoon in my daily smoothly

By Joy

Their maca varieties are good, as is their customer service.

Maca first came to us by our vitamin supplier. Then we ordered from the Maca Team. Comparison? Think fire-fly, then think mid-day sun. At 76 and 73 years respectively, that is a big deal; and at comparable cost too. We never have we had such speedy delivery and the packaging is the strongest, most protective we've seen, ever, at all ... anywhere. Further, the Mrs. no longer takes hormone supplements. And Mr. scans the morning want ads for steady P/T work.

The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting

I had been using another brand of maca powder and decided to try The Maca Team's. The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting . I'm 6 foot 250 lbs. and take 4 teaspoons every day w/ my protein shake. Great energy boost and just feel great all day. I can tell a difference when I do not take it. best price that I have found {36oz}. I will be buying more as needed.

The Maca Team brand is very special.

I've tried various maca brands over the last 20 years and The Maca Team brand is very special. There is definitely a difference when it comes to the quality and colors of the maca. This red maca does seem to nourish certain parts of my body while the black maca nourishes something else. I know I've been missing the nutrition these maca provide. I'm 75 years old and bodies wear out, but I'm finding I'm regaining a functioning body. How wonderful is this?!?!!!

I just wanted to thank you for your excellently constructed website. I am a physician

I just wanted to thank you for your excellently constructed website. I am a physician and I recently started learning about Maca. I get a very good sense of it, and I expect I will try it out myself and possibly be recommending it to patients in the future. If so, your website will be the first place to send people. Thanks again.

I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away

Love the Maca team, In an earlier comment I said I was on the fence about where to buy Maca .Not anymore .You shouldn’t be either. The team has answered any questions I’ve had promptly. I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away out for my money only. The Maca is fresh, prices are good, the people are nice. If you’re on the fence, don’t be, you won’t be sorry.

By Bob

By Stormi Evans

From the web site to the way they run their company this a top-notch team. I will be ordering from The Maca Team from now on. Great job guys keep doing what you are doing.

This is the highest quality product we have ever carried. I am proud to offer it in my store.

We love this product. I own a store and work with clients holistically. We have recommended maca for years however, this is the highest quality product we have ever carried. I am proud to offer it in my store.

Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

I am really happy that I chose the Maca Team, today you can find many distributors selling Maca powder, however quality of the powder is impossible to compare. Moreover, the results after 2 weeks I could feel. Before I was taking maca powder and I did not feel any changes. But since I started taking Maca from Maca Team the changes are incredible. So, I did a test.:) I gave the powder to my partner ... and after 2 weeks he was impressed and told me that he has more energy, feeling happy... Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

By Olga

Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism

I do want to say that I have done quite a bit of research on different companies that offer Maca and The Maca Team definitely is the most reputable. Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism :)
