No need for that just proper diet and nutrition is enough

Guys. I'm real skinny and just wanted to gain lean mass and stay. It's very very difficult for me to gain any weight since my teens. Any recommendations? I'd have supplements and I wanted to know what are the suitable ones.

It's not the supplements but the diet is far more important. You don't need a supplements, it's not magic powder.

true. not magic powder.

Hi Dudes,

Why do you need to eat whole food within 2 hours I might ask?

Hey Alien9,

Thanks for the reply

IMO isn't that how post workout nutrition works ? when you body is in a nutrient-hunger state ?

Or the so called anabolic window myth?

Yes indeed so my question is my post workout mass gainer supplement sufficient enough or do i still need to have normal meal to meet my calorie needs ? if i do need to have my regular food ? how long after my post workout protein shake would that be ?

Nobody here can answer that because we don't know your required caloric intake. And whether or not to wait before eating solid food after your shake is up to you. If you can stomach a meal after a shake, go ahead. If not, wait for a while.

A myth???

Are you sure.....????!

I'd say no not enough but that's just me. Post training should rightly be your biggest meal of the day if on a gaining cycle so should be > 1000 calories

A yes and no answer.

On why it's a myth: http://www.scribd.com/doc/90705250/Alan-Aragon-Excellent

On the other side of the coin, we want to optimize protein synthesis.

*see point 4,5, and 7.

While I respect Dave Barr, after reading all that, I disagree with him.

His methods seems more geared to elite level athletes and BBers.

I especially disagree about the 24-hour elevated window for protein synthesis. While it may be true on research for Olympic athletes I doubt its true for average Joe.

Your and my workout is a pale shadow compare to what lets say Michael Phelps or a elite Olympic lifter's workout in the gym. Our genetics are also much worse than them. Hence, we can conclude that our nutritional needs and patterns should be different.

hi all, i've a question to ask,

i will usually do workout after heavy meal such as breakfast/lunch..
usually after 30 mins finished meal i started workout..and for post sometimes i take 1 glass of milk/usually only a glass of water.so, how am i doing?

If you don't feel anything weird such as you want to vomit during your workout, then it is ok.

Currently I'm taking GNC Re-Built Mass daily, N.O Xplode as pre-workout while ON Platinum Hydro Whey as post workout. I workout once for every 2 days

Guys, i wanna try musclepharm assault as my pre-workout..before dis i tried hemorage..

Any comment?

After reading much articles from the web, i truly understands the actual way of getting a leaner body. A proper diet meals + cardio is way better than relying on protein supplements. Thanks man
