Bodybuilding Supplements And Weight Gainers, Create Your Own

By Ricardo d Argence

As you may already know, weight gainers can be incredibly expensive so if you intend trying to put on a lot of weight in a relatively short time frame, then you should seriously consider making your own weight gainer.

Weight gainers are usually purchased at nutrition and supplement stores. They usually have a picture of a bodybuilder or an arm full of muscle mass. Weight gainers are designed to help you gain a lot of weight so you can have the muscle mass you desire.

One point worth noting is that while certain weight gainers may be suitable for some people, they may not be suitable for everyone. Unlike bodybuilders who already have sufficient weight, and who simply want to add muscle, skinny people first need to add meat to their bones before trying to increase muscle mass.

If you want to save a bit of money and make your own weight gainer you can. It is easy to do and most likely best for your body type anyway. One of the most important things to consider is protein.

Of course, it only stands to reason that some weight gainers are better quality than others. In terms of protein quality, those which contain isolate whey powder rank higher than those which contain plain whey powder, and both of these rank higher than those which contain Soy.

Casein is for example an extremely high quality protein which you should seriously consider adding to your weight gainer. Casein is well known for being digested slowly rather than rapidly.

One of the most critical things you need to pay attention to with regards to weight gainers, is the breakdown of carbohydrates. This is essentially because maltodextrin should be your primary source of carbohydrates due to the fact that it will help to replenish your body's glycogen stores.

Never use a weight gainer that has a large amount of fructose or any type of sugar. You need to be sure the sugar content is as low as possible because it will only cause you to crash hard with fatigue, a headache, and possibly jitters.

You can be rest assured that if you want to save money and you want to gain weight, then you should go ahead and start making your own weight gainers at home.

You will need to mix the best quality protein with maltodextrin. These can be found at your local vitamin or supplement shop and even a grocery store. Raw oats are the best solution to mix with to make a shake. The oats are effective to provide for slow burning of the carbs so the shake lasts longer and you are adding more calories to the drink.

One of the best times to drink your weight gaining shake is after your workout. You can add more calories and have a higher fat intake. Your body will slowly digest the shake so you get the nutrients to the muscles over a longer period of time. Adding more fat can include things like peanut butter, nuts, oils, and more. - 17274
