Bodybuilding Tips to Create Your Own Weight Gainer

By Ricardo d Argence

The price range of weight gainers are surprisingly expensive. You may want to consider making it yourself if you are very thin and are looking to gain weight. It's important to know and understand the nutritional information in order to get up to your desired 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.

One of your options is to save up some of your money and create your own weight gainer. This isn't hard at all and probably best for your body type anyway. When evaluating weight gainers, you should try to get one with the best quality protein available.

Plain whey powder is not as good as isolate whey powder. Soy is even lower than the two. This is in terms of the quality of the protein. Casein stands out as an excellent, top of the line protein to mix into your weight gainer. It is a serious product, recommended not for chugging but rather measured intake.

You need to pay attention to the carbohydrate breakdown when you are planning your own weight gain regiment. The glycogen storage in your muscles will be best refilled if your carbohydrates primarily come from maltodextrin.

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 make you very own weight gainer at home if you are looking to gain weight quickly on a budget. This is a really easy process you can do. You will be required to mix together the best protein with maltodextrin.These can be found at your local vitamin or supplement shop and even a grocery store. Shakes with raw oats added are the way to go--in one simple step you add calories to your beverage and effectively extend the burn length of the carbohydrates.

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.
