I have been a hardgainer so far in my life, now looking to gain some muscle mass so I can look better on the beach (lol).
Any recommendation on supplement to gain muscle mass?
I am looking at supplements like ON Pro Gainer and Rule 1 Gain, but they are bloody expensive! It works out to be about $4 per serving..!
Now, I know some people do not believe in supplement as you can just eat according your needs, but for someone like myself who is rather time poor and just want something practical to take to meet the dietary needs during gaining mass phase/bulking, taking supplement will be quite handy.
My friend told me that the reasons those brands are expensive because they are established brand and imported, hence the price.
Although from my research (not sure how accurate), these high-end products use less fillers ingredients, i.e. they use purer ingredients hence won't have negative impacts to your health.
He suggested me to look at Australian brand called Bulk Nutrient (bulknutrients.com.au), e.g. their Muscle Food product.
Does anyone have recommendations on what to take while not blowing budget?
Any experience with AU / cheaper brands, e.g. Bulk Nutrient, etc?
Thanks
Supplements don't work.
If you want a pre\intra/post supplement mix Bulk Nutrients Vital Premix, Maltodextrin and WPI or WPC. Vital premix is just 100% RDI vitamins + minerals, I would recommend using more than 2.5g per workout. Mix maltodextrin and protein in a 2:1 ratio (2 x carbs: 1 x protein). Add water and blend.
You can drink this before, after, during and it's more or less Soylent minus some long chain carbs and fibre if you believe in that rubbish.
