Often, mass gainers have higher sugar content and pretty low (about 10GMS per scoop) of protein, so it could be a replacement.

I generally wouldn't even suggest it, but if you must, then you might want to try to take the scoop pre-workout.

Could you throw in a couple grams of carbs into that? Maybe oats or potatoes or yam cakes? That'll be good. My suggestion is that when you're finished with that weight gainer of yours, just buy normal protein and add oats into the serving. That'll up your calories and works quite the same as your average mass gainer. Minus the extra cost and sugar.

it does
in a pretty good way

Oh report! Report!

I took a high sugar milo panas and two doughnuts before training on Monday. Result?

Extremely jumpy, very excited, very energetic. Bloody flowing very fast and constantly wanting to lift. Ended up with a clean and jerk PR of 115KG and a back squat of 150KG x 3 x 3, solid, easy.

At 1 hour 15 minutes, got slightly slower...decided to drink more milo and swallow some sugar. 5 minutes, bounced up again. Amazing.

Energetic through the entire 2 hour session.

Wonderful. Did the same for Tuesday and Wednesday's morning session. Same results. Phenomenal.

It's a high sugar drink, but if timed with an easy to digest protein drink, it helps improve your muscular recovery and growth.
Good stuff. It's kinda expensive on the long run though, if I were you, I'd rather jst drink glucose.

I'm staring wonder how in the world's this related to pre and post workout nutrition.
