The Basic Protein Handbook
With all of the supplements out there today, you are probably bombarded with all the choices. Take product A for cutting, take product B for vascularity, take product C for endurance, etc. But when it comes down to it, the most basic of all the supplements is protein. Whether your goal is cutting or bulking, protein plays a crucial role in your supplement regimen. Of course there are products such as gainers, blended proteins that combine two or more of these sources, etc, but that isn’t what this article is about. The purpose is to give you a little background information on the most popular protein sources today. This isn’t all there is to know about these proteins either, as each one could warrant an article of its own, but the bare basics are what I wrote about... More

I used this product for about 3 months from the beginning of summer until a few weeks ago, and i did not get the results I expected. Although I did gain about 20 pounds to my max in two months, I didn't see a noticeable difference in my size. I just bought Amplified Maxertion N.O. and am hoping that it will be a better supplement.

This may seem like a stupid question, but what would be better to take during a bulk: Pro Complex Gainer OR Pro Complex PLUS a different source of complex carbs? I noticed that the main form of carbs in the gainer is maltodextrin, which is a simple sugar (i think). Would that lead to more fat gain? And would adding a complex-carb sup to the PC give me better gains?
|
|
|
Answer #1: | I had much better results from PC than from WBE60. I gave WBE three tubs to see what it would do, and it wasnt awful, it just didnt give me near the results i get with PC |

I recentley bought Pro Complexgainer because of the large amount of complex carbs. after looking into it i realised the main source of carbs is maltodextrin which is basically a simple carb, will this spike my insulin and make me fat, compared to the carbs of Up Your Mass(mainly oats)?
|

Answer #1: | Carbs in general spike your insulin, and that's net necessarily a bad thing.
Insulin is a very anabolic compound, that can cause your body to gain fat.
As for which one will cause more fat gain, both are "gainer" products, which mean they promote weight gain any way possible, meaning fat growth.
If you're looking for more of a lean gain, drop the gainer and get the Pro Complex instead. Then you'll be in less danger of fat gain. |

I used to order stuff from here in 2007 until i had an incident with the owner of the site. They totally messed up my order and when I emailed the owner about this he said he would take care of it himself. He said he would send me the three product I didn't get plus a ton of samples. Two weeks later i got one shaker bottle. Again i emailed the guy telling what happened and I got no reply. Don't order from here they have absolutely no service if something goes wrong. They stole my money and I am still really mad about that. I now order from A1Supplements.com and have had no problem with them and also they send you samples of supplements like naNO Vapor and stuff randomly which is pretty cool.
REVIEW: Dont order from bulknutrition.com
