How to Create the Best Weight Gainer for Your Needs

By Ricardo d Argence

Weight gainers can be extremely expensive. If you are hoping to gain a lot of weight and you are really thin then you might consider making your own. The importance is that you understand the nutritional information and exactly what you need to gain the right amount of weight.

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.

Every person is different and should use an appropriate weight gain product. For example, a bodybuilder has the weight they want but they are working for more muscle mass to what they already have. If you are truly slender then you have to add some bulk to your physique first and then muscle definition.

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, some weight gainers have a higher quality protein than others and you want to get the best you can.

Isolate whey powder typically has the best ranking while plain whey powder ranks lower. Soy is even lower than the two. This is in terms of the quality of the protein. A very high quality protein you might consider adding to your weight gainer is Casein, this product is best for slowly digesting and not for rapid consumption.

The most crucial thing you need to break down and look at when you design your own weight gainer is the carbohydrate breakdown. The primary source of your carbs need to come directly from maltodextrin it will refill your muscle glycogen stores most efficiently.

When you're using a weight gainer, you should never use one with a high amount of fructose or any kinds of sugar. It is important that the amount of sugar remains low as it can lead to fatigue and headache with the possiblility of jitters.

The most appropriate approach to gaining weigh fast without spending too much money is to make a weigh gainer by yourself at home. This is a really easy process you can do. You should mix only the finest quality proteins with maltodextrin. These can be found at your local vitamin or supplement shop and even a grocery store. When you are using raw oaks it is best to mix it with a shake so you can make you shake last longer and adding more calories to the drink.

After working out is a great time to down your weight gaining shake. You can add more calories and have a higher fat intake. Your body will slowly digest the shake, hence you are able to get the nutrients to the muscles over a longer period of time. - 15343
