Maintaining a positive energy balance (consuming more calories than you use) is essential in gaining mass. In fact a positive energy balance has been shown in numerous studies to have a whole body anabolic effect (Houston, 1999). SuperMass is a concentrated energy source that can assist in increasing the total caloric intake, thereby contributing to a more positive energy balance. SuperMass is therefore ideal for those who are naturally skinny and have difficulty gaining weight.
To fast track your mass gains, stacking SuperMass with Myocytin is probably the most potent stack. Research has indicated that consumption of protein (essential amino acids) and carbohydrate both prior to and after resistance training can promote a more anabolic environment and facilitate protein synthesis (Tipton et al., 2001;Rasmussen et al., 2000). Therefore one half serve should be consumed prior to weight training and one half serving immediately after weight training. If you are wishing to gain weight and do not wish to participate in a weight training program, one half serve of SuperMass can be consumed daily between normal meals.
Super Mass Questions and Answers
Q1. How is Super Mass formulated? Proteins can be broadly classified as either "fast" or "slow" depending on their rate of absorption into the blood stream (Boirie et al., 1997). Fast proteins are absorbed rapidly and promptly increase the blood amino acid concentrations. These proteins may be beneficial particularly post exercise in order to increase the supply of amino acids to the muscle and support protein synthesis. The unique formula in Super Mass is formulated to contain 50% fast protein and 50% carbohydrate component. Super Mass is formulated to stimulate muscle anabolism via its ability to rapidly increase blood amino acid concentrations. Furthermore the high glycaemic index carbohydrates in Super Mass are designed to create a more fast release of carbohydrate therefore contributing to blood glucose levels post-training. It is known that the hormone insulin has a potential stimulating effect on muscle protein synthesis, although an adequate supply of amino acids is necessary for that potential to be expressed as an increased in the rate of protein synthesis (Wolfe, 2000). When utilising SuperMass, the resultant increase in blood insulin levels may promote an even greater increase in protein synthesis than would normally be achieved by consuming whey protein alone.
Q2. Can Super Mass be used to gain weight even if you are naturally very skinny? All too often information is focussed exclusively on weight loss. Gaining weight or muscle mass is a problem that plagues many individuals. While those wishing to gain weight often do so for reasons based around physical appearance, weight gain may also offer protective benefit to athletes involved in contact sports (Rogerson et al., 2004). Therefore gaining weight is common goal for many individuals, yet information on how to safely do so is often scarce.
Maintaining a positive energy balance (consuming more calories than you use) is essential in gaining mass. In fact a positive energy balance has been shown in numerous studies to have a whole body anabolic effect (Houston, 1999). Supermass is a concentrated energy source that can assist in increasing the total caloric intake, thereby contributing to a more positive energy balance. SuperMass is therefore ideal for those who are naturally skinny and have difficulty gaining weight.
Q3. Does Super Mass contain a quality protein source? Yes, super mass contains whey protein concentrate, which has a high biological value. The biological value is basically a measure of how efficiently the protein source can be used by the body (Lemon, 2001). Therefore unlike other inferior protein sources, the protein in Super Mass is able to be used effectively in protein synthesis. An added benefit of the whey protein supplied in super mass is that it may provide "immunonutrients" to protect against infection (Ha et al., 2003). This is obviously very important for athletes undergoing intense training who may be at greater risk of experiencing suppressed immune function.
Q4. If an individual wants to fast track their mass gains, would Super Mass stack well with any other supplements? Super mass would stack well with many products in the Body Science range. However to fast track your mass gains, stacking Super Mass with Myocytin is probably the most potent stack. Together this stack may maximise mass gains via four separate yet interacting mechanisms including:
1. The cell volumisation and strength enhancement offered via the unique Myocytin formulation (see Myocytin ). 2. Increased amino acid availability for protein synthesis 3. Increased release of anabolic hormones such as insulin. 4. Stimulation of whole body anabolism via a more positive energy balance.
To implement this stack follow the guidelines below: Super Mass /Myocytin stacking protocol for maximising lean muscle mass gains.
Step 1: Load Myocytin for 6 days as directed in the table below.
Step 2: After the 6 day Myocytin loading protocol simply follow the daily Super Mass / Myocytin stacking protocol below.
Q5. When is the best time to consume Super Mass? Research has indicated that consumption of protein (essential amino acids) and carbohydrate both prior to and after resistance training can promote a more anabolic environment and facilitate protein synthesis (Tipton et al., 2001;Rasmussen et al., 2000). Therefore to maximise the anabolic effect of SuperMass one half serve should be consumed prior to weight training and one serving immediately after weight training. If you are wishing to gain weight and do not wish to participate in a weight training program, one serve of SuperMass can be consumed daily between normal meals.
Q6. Is Super Mass safe? Unlike other methods of gaining mass such as anabolic steroid use, Super Mass consumed in line with manufacturers recommendations is a safe and legal way of increasing your body mass. Super Mass is formulated to increase body mass in line with scientific recommendations (Houston et al., 1999) by providing a convenient method of increasing both the total caloric intake and the frequency of caloric ingestion. However like any product it is important that you follow manufacturer instructions and seek medical advise prior to beginning a new exercise or dietary regime.
Q7. Is Super Mass suitable only for athletes? No, Super Mass can be used by anyone wishing to increase their caloric intake and body mass. As supermass can be mixed and consumed within minutes it represents an effective and time efficient method of increasing your total energy intake.
Q8. Would Super Mass result in a positive drug test? No, Super Mass is not a drug or banned substance. In fact none of the ingredients in Super Mass are listed on the current World Anti Doping Association (WADA) prohibited list (WADA, 2004). Therefore, Super Mass can be considered a safe and legal method of enhancing athletic performance, even in elite athletes subjected to regular drug testing.
