Increasing Muscle and Size
Increasing your muscle size is not as easy as just visiting
the gym three times a week. Nutrition is a very important
catalyst for muscle growth. Some experts say that nutrition
plays the most important role in muscular development,
we agree. Looking at resistance
training and your diet as a ratio 80% of your success will
come from eating correctly and 20% from training right.
Without a good diet you are wasting your time, in some
instances you can lose muscle with a bad diet.
If you are serious about training and want to step on the scales
in a few months with an extra 5 to 10 pounds of lean muscle,
bigger arms, chest, legs and wider shoulders then read on…
What are weight gainers & protein powders?
To increase your weight you need to consume more calories
than you burn in a day. If you have a fast metabolism even
eating 5 to 6 small meals is not enough. This is where a good
quality weight gainer or protein supplement helps. Weight
gainers will provide you with the added calories needed for
weight gain and they are very convenient, offering all the
nutrients of a well balanced meal.
Now the easy part is to supplement your diet with a weight
gainer, the hard part is to find the right one for you. We recommend
a premium quality
weight gainer with low glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates and
high quality proteins. There are cheaper weight gain formulas
out there; however they are mostly made up of simple sugars.
Without getting too technical, simple sugars are a great source
of high calories whilst these calories are the wrong calories
and lead to unwanted fat gains. Our body uses fat reserves as
an energy source when consuming low GI foods. If we take in
simple sugars then the body stops using fat as energy and this
will lead to gains in fat mass which is not ideal if you want the
perfect beach body.
What are the benefits of weight gainers and protein powders?
When you first start training, the first few years will be when
you make your best gains. When supplementing your training
program with a good weight gainer you could experience
dramatic gains in muscle size and strength. Eat your normal
3 to 4 meals a day and supplement with a Mass
Gainer before and after training. Split your serving into two
servings to start with taking one 45 minutes before training and
one immediately afterwards. This will provide the body with
optimum nutrients aiding your workout and recovery time.

C3
C3 (Complement factor 3) has been specifically formulated with the
professional athlete in mind. Two years in development,
extensive in-house field trails and two patents pending, there is
a new cell volumiser in town.
GROWTH Tech™ Consists of a blend of 3 creatine’s for improved bioavailability. Alpha-Keto-Glutarate AKG has been added for its potential vasodilation properties which may include rapid increase in blood-flow to the muscles being worked and this
may lead to an increase in strength and size within a very small
time frame.
IGNITE Tech™ Consists of a blend of nutrients to
ignite your workouts. The source of carbohydrates, vitamins and
minerals will provide the fuel, hydration and electrolytes needed
before, during and after intense training.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

the maintenance dose for at least 10 weeks for optimum results.
MASS GAINER
• High protein, high carbohydrate, low fat mass gainer
• High calorie drink packed full of anabolic nutrients
• Complex carbohydrate from low glycemic index sources
Our unique formula combines high biological value proteins
with a very low glycemic index complex carbohydrate that may
help build and repair muscle tissue providing optimum nitrogen
levels during workouts. Just enough carbohydrates are used to
fuel your workout, replenish depleted glycogen and help with
post workout recovery.
If you are a hard gainer looking for a product that takes the
guess work out of post workout recovery & is not full of
simple sugars then this is the product choice for you. Other
manufactures produce cheap mass gainers which are very low
in good proteins and packed full of simple sugars. This type of
product will contain masses of calories but they will be from
incorrect sources, usually high in glycemic index carbohydrates.
This may lead to unwanted gains in fat mass which is not ideal
for active healthy people.
Unlike other mass gainers, this one is virtually
sugar free (only contains 6.5 grams per serving of intentionally
added fructose for liver glycogen replacement) and also contains
a high amino acid profile & anti-catabolic agents.
Mass Gainer is a complete meal that is very low in fat, great
tasting and easily digestible.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
As a dietary supplement, use 3 heaped scoops [100g] per
serving, depending on bodyweight in 450mls of skimmed milk
or water. Can also be used in pancake mixes, breakfast oatmeal,
muffins and waffles.
WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE
•Whey Isolate for fast protein absorption ideal as a pre
workout shake.
•L-Glutamine for improved recovery.
•Colostrum 15 grams for improved recovery & strengthened
immune system.
•High levels branched chain amino acids (BCAA) for
improved performance.
Whey Protein is an exclusive protein blend using the most
advanced low temperature separation process. This complex
process incorporates state of the art cross flow micro-filtration
methods which protect the amino acids providing you with the
absolute best quality protein available.
Two of the key ingredients in this product that differentiates it
from a normal whey protein are the added colostrum and high
levels of whey isolate. The Colostrum used in Whey Protein is
manufactured using the low-heat spray method. This method
will ensure that the anabolic & anti-catabolic components are
protected and deliver their maximum potency. Isolate is the most
expensive protein to produce, is the best quality Whey money can
buy and that is why it is used by many top professional athletes.
The isolate used in Whey Protein is imported directly from New
Zealand where one of the best isolates is manufactured.
To optimise this formula we have added Fructo-Olligosaccharides
(a Prebiotic) and Lactobacterium (a Probiotic) in support of
optimum health and nutrient absorption.
Whey Protein has a unique ingredient generically
named Optigestyme™. This ingredient may have significant
anabolic boosting properties.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
As a dietary supplement use 1.5 rounded scoop per serving,
(depending on bodyweight), in 450mls of skimmed milk or
water. Can also be used in pancake mixes, breakfast oatmeal,
