Hello all,

I wanted to build some muscle and get slightly better than average people body. I am 173cm and 80KG. My friend recommended me to get GNC AMP MASS XXX and take it while doing the workout. He advised me to take it 30min after breakfast, then 30min before and after workout. Lastly take it before goto sleep. GNC sales person advise differently. Take in between meal (breakfast,lunch and dinner), on workout day take in after workout.

I see significant muscle increased in my fren body. He started to lift weight about 3 months ago. He is 170cm,74kg after bulking and 78kg before that. From wat i read, the products will make u gain weight. I dun want to gain fat. I am afraid to gain more than 80KG without lean muscle. My fren has recommended me to follow his workout schedul (6 days a week n different muscle group each day)

Any advices?

it's a weight gainer, therefore u will gain fat.

why not try his gym routine without the mass gainer first? you say you dont want to be more than 80kg's, and your current weight is 80kg's. so why take a weight gainer?
and please elaborate on how your friend manages to lose weight from 78kg to 74kg while on a bulking phase?

he train 6 days a week and 1 day OFF..from wat i read from reviews..little fat gain but gain lean muscle as well...

dont matter how many days he train, bulking means to gain weight, not lose weight

maybe he loose the fat first the started bulking.. :|

any reason why your friend recommended you a weight gainer in the first place? why not take protein instead?

it was recommended by GNC staff when my fren told them tht he want to bulk..take whey protein?my bro is taking it more than a year but no bulking pon...so i want to celen him la..ehheheh

GNC staff eh. what did she told u

you probably dont understand what "bulking" is.

bulking

enlighten me bro!

Dude, mikehuan posted a link. At least have the initiative to read it.

i termiss bah baca

Mass Gainer contain loads of carbohydrates. You can't build muscles on carbs. Muscles are made of protein and fat. Whey protein is a better choice for you. Only soy protein would make your hormone goes haywire. Whey protein is perfectly safe for long term consumption.

Also you need to understand that total calories dictate that how much weight a person gains or loses; macronutrient ratio dictate what a person gains or loses.

In you case to loss weight you need to reduce you calories while you wanna loss fat & build muscle, your protein ratio must higher than carb.

My suggestion to you is go hi protien, hi fat and restrict carbs diet,
For Protien Supplement i suggest the Gaspari Myofusion.

thanks..any idea how much?my bro(still huge than me) is taking ISOLATE WHEY Protein but i cant see any significant muscle growth compare to my fren who is taking GNC AMP MASS XXX..

supplements are only one factor in bodybuilding. how much your bro and your friend are pushing it in the gym makes a difference. their daily diet makes a difference. genetics make a difference. how much sleep they get makes a difference. etc etc.

but YOU have to understand, mass gainers has more carbs than protein, and its ONLY use is to gain weight. whey protein contains protein, and protein is used to make muscle. read up and understand more. dont be the "monkey see monkey do" types.

thanks again for the info..i'll finished up the tube then get Gaspari Myofusion....read some gud reviews on it...
