Protein Supplement Guide

I get emails from people all the time asking me what are the best supplements they should take for gaining weight. In fact, a survey I did last year on PSG showed that 54% of the people that visited us were looking for advice on supplements to gain weight. That’s a big percentage! So today I’m going to show you a real good stack for weight gain and muscle mass gain — called the “Monster Stack”.

It’s worth a note before I get started that you need to eat a lot of real food in order to grow. Just taking supplements isn’t going to cut it! So make sure you have a good diet down as well as a good supplemental routine.

The “Monster” Stack:

Lately some people have been talking have been talking about the monster stack and how it’s a great stack for weight gain. I totally agree, this is a good stack and I’d recommend it to anyone who has a fast metabolism and is finding it hard to grow. Here’s what the stack comprises of:

Monster Milk

Monster Milk is an awesome protein powder. High amounts of protein per serving, excellent amino acid score, taste great. You can take this with monster maize post workout to spike insulin and replace lost protein in muscle cells.

Monster Mass

Awesome weight gainer. Big on calories, low on sugar, high in complex carbs. Take this between meals to increase your overall calories in the day. Monster Mass will help you hit that 4000+ you probably need!

Monster Amino

Branched chain amino acids can swing your body from a catabolilc state, to an anabolic state. I suggest taking this immediately after you train, or even better, while you train. Monster amino is a better replacement that xtend becuase it has the aminos AND waxy maize starch.

Monster Pump

Monster Pump is the pre-workout supplement in the monster family stack. Take this 15mins before you start training to increase your focus, get great muscle pumps, and really get you through a workout. Monster pump contains caffeine, so do not take it withing about 4 hours fo bed time.

Monster Maize

Finally, there’s Monster Maize. This is a pure waxy maize starch product that can be used during or after your sessions to help replace lost muscle glycogen quickly. The label recommends to take this during your workout, but I suggest mixing it with Monster Milk post workout for best results and drinking Monster Amino during your sessions (it also has WMS)

Now that is a great all round supplement stack for people seriously looking to gain some quality muscle mass. Defiitely one I’d recommend.

What’s your stack?

Typically, protein supplements have been used by bodybuilders and those who want to build muscle and get bigger. This is all changing right now, as protein supplements become much more mainstream. People are now starting to realize the positive effects of whey protein, and how protine supplements can help in so many aspects of life (see this protein page for more info of specific supplements).

So now suoplement manufacturers are starting to make excellent protein powders that are focused on weight loss. I am personally a big fan of these. The weight loss protein supplements are filtered and contain almost pure protein, with little to no fat and no additives. Here’s some reasons why you would want to use protein for weight loss:

This is a pretty common question when people are shopping for protein supplements. The answer is simple…

Whey protein isolate is a much more pure form of whey protein. When I say pure, I mean it contains more protein and less fats and lactose.

Whey protein isolate typically is about 90-98% protein, whereas whey protein concentrate is about 75-80%. Whey protein blends are also very common in the market. They are usually about 50/50 isolate and concentrate. This often brings the price right down.

What type of protein you choose depends on your goals and budget. For slimming down, whey protein isolate would be recommended. For building muscle mass, you could choose any form of protein becuase it’s the total amount of protein you’re getting that counts.
