The Russian Bear Success Story
Val Vasilef is an award-winning bodybuilder and Mr. America winner. He has been honored by his home state for achieving unmatched weightlifting and bodybuilding records.

In addition to his physical pursuits, Val studied nutrition and sports science, and earned a doctorate in naturopathy. This knowledge came in handy when the usually well-bulked bodybuilder lost weight and muscle. His uncharacteristic slimness occurred after starring in his own TV series left him less time to concentrate on fitness.
“I was fed up with worthless programs and muscle-building products that did nothing but waste my time and drain my pockets,” he recalls. “But I had made worldwide contacts in musclebuilding resources.” These included hi-tech Russian researchers, U.S. world champs and of course, the wisdom of his Uncle John, the “Russian Bear.”
Val has succeeded in designing a powerful musclebuilding system for weightlifters, bodybuilders and athletes. It’s called Russian Bear and it also incorporates a free training program.
With the Russian Bear system, Val’s weight soon climbed back to 215 pounds of hard muscle mass.
“I constantly had to defend myself at the gym. People couldn’t believe my muscle gains were completely natural, without steroids,” he says. “Everyone wanted to know what I was taking.”
