Pure Muscle Gainer Post Workout Supplement Stack

Everyone wants to know the secret to gaining pure muscle mass. The truth is all of your muscle growth occurs outside of the weight room. People spend hours in the gym thinking that they will add muscle just because they put in their time. The trick is to add these supplements post work-out with a clean diet for improved recovery and enhanced muscle growth.
  
Whey Protein: This should be a staple in everyone’s supplement arsenal. Whey Protein breaks down quickly upon ingestion, pushing its amino acids into the bloodstream to reach your muscles, blasting them into an anabolic state.
WHEY ISOLATE & HYDROLYSATE


Take 30-40 grams immediately after training. Your best choices are whey protein hydrolysates (broken down into smaller fragments for quicker absorption) or whey protein isolates.

Creatine: Creatine is one supplement that has been under the microscope for years, due to its direct link to increasing pure muscle mass, strength and power. It has been shown to help protein synthesis and slow protein breakdown, because it pulls water into the muscle cells creating an anabolic atmosphere for muscle growth.

Take 3-5 grams of your choice of creatine (creatine monohydrate is proven and easier on the wallet) with your post workout shake immediately after training.

BCAA’s: BCAA’s are the main amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine. Branched chain amino acids (bcaa’s) have many benefits. They include muscle growth, reducing delayed –onset muscle soreness, increased energy and blunting cortisol (a catabolic hormone). Your cortisol levels rise after intense physical exercise, which inhibits testosterone and leads to muscle breakdown.

Take 5-10 grams of BCAA’s immediately after training with your post work-out shake.

Carb Powder: Certain carb powders absorb very quickly, which makes them an ideal post workout carb choice. Carb powders can quickly elevate insulin levels and replace glycogen in broken down muscle. Since insulin is very anabolic, carb powders can be a strong muscle gainer as well as promote recovery when taken after workouts.

Take 40-80 grams of carb powder with your post workout shake immediately after training.

If you are serious about packing on muscle mass, then try adding this post workout supplement stack to your weight lifting program. Remember, your muscles grow outside of the gym, so stay dedicated and consistent and you will see results.
