Prolab N-Large2 - Chocolate
Prolab Nutrition's N-Large2 is a powerful mass gaining formula designed to pack size on the hardest gainers. We emphasize the amount of protein per serving since it is the essential nutrient that promotes muscle mass.N-Large2 also contains a special blend of carbohydrates to help fuel and support weight training. Fat, although shunned by some, is a highly concentrated energy source (double that of protein or carbohydrates). Fat is also a necessary componenet of all cell membranes, nerve covering, digestive secretions, and most importantly, hormone production. A diet too low in fats may atually impair growth. For these reasons, small amounts of fat are contained in N-Large2 52g Mass Gainer Whey Protein. For best results, combine N-Large2 with a sensible diet and intense training program. Promotes Lean Body Mass. Blend of High- and Low-Glycemic Carbs for Optimum Post-Workout Glycogen Replenishment. High in Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)

ALLMAX Nutrition Aminocore - Caribbean Splash
Get a Quick Anabolic Edge!Every serious bodybuilder knows the tried, tested and true impact of BCAAs. Cutting edge research out of the Nobel-prize winning Karolinska Institute has suggests what bodybuilders have known for years; high dosage BCAAs delivered in a very specific 45:30:25 ratio signals your muscles to grow. Not just growth, but pure protein synthesis on a scale that must be experienced to be believed; a greater anabolic signaling over placebo was suggested in a gold-standard scientific research trial!Getting these BCAAs to mix into your system effectively and efficiently has always been a massive barrier; until now! ALLMAX brings AMINOCORE™ to the market; ready-to-mix, and delicious. And best of all, no skinny 2 or 3 grams of BCAAs here. There is a whopping 8,180 mgs, that's right, over 8 grams of BCAAs in a single packet, wherever and whenever you need it. Perfect for consumption during your workout to drive up the anabolic impact of your workout, or away from the gym when you can't get your protein and you need to prevent the catabolic breakdown of muscle tissue!That's right, when you can't get a sufficient level of high-quality protein, or are in a caloric deficit, your body may literally breakdown and feed on your hard earned muscle tissue. AMINOCORE™ is the bodybuilder's best friend; close at hand, ridiculously easy-to-mix and most amazingly, absolutely delicious (BCAAs are normally awful tasting!).This critical combination of precision ratio INSTANT BCAAs at a massive research directed dosage of 8,180 mg in with 100 mg of muscular-toxin scavenging keto-isocaproic acid (KIC) and 7 different forms of ANABOLIC supporting B-Vitamins puts you at an advantage like you've never had!Stimulate An Anabolic Environment with 8,180 mg [45:30:25] of BCCAs3681 mg L-LEUCINE - provides support to lean muscle tissue and provides energy, specifically when training intensely, and helps to maintain a positive nitrogen balance within the body. Leucine is referred to as a "limiting nutrient"; meaning the body needs to be supplied by a specific amount in relation to other aminos to assimilate protein in the body. Leucine activates a major anabolic pathway called the mTOR pathway which stimulates muscle protein synthesis.2,454 mg L-ISOLEUCINE - provides muscle recovery post-workout and has been found to be helpful to assist in supporting blood sugar levels already within normal range. ISOLEUCINE plays a role in hemoglobin formation and can increase energy levels and extend endurance.2,045 mg L-VALINE - plays a role in glucose metabolism, protein synthesis and provides immune support. It provides extra glucose for energy during times of hardcore training, making it a valuable addition for any athlete. It is also involved in the detoxification of excess nitrogen in the liver.AMINOCORE Provides 7 different forms of ANABOLIC supporting B-VitaminsALLMAX introduces Myotrisol™, a cutting-edge solubility technology to BCAA dosage administration.

CytoSport Monster Maize - Sour Grape
Monster Maize is designed to be the most powerful glycogen-replenishing, muscle-hydrating carbohydrate drink available. Unlike other products with waxy maize starch, Monster Maize mixes easily in a shaker and has phenomenal taste. Monster Maize is the ultimate carbohydrate system that rapidly provides massive amounts of glucose energy to fuel monster results.40G Complex CarbsMonster Maize complex carbohydrates deliver a unique blend of amylopectin (waxy maize starch) and long chain glucose polymers (maltodextrin). These carbohydrates are rapidly broken down into muscle fueling glucose. This valuable fuel helps spare muscle glycogen allowing for its use in post-workout recovery.Why 40 Grams?When Monster Maize is mixed as directed (1 scoop/16 fl-oz) the 40 grams of carbohydrates are in the optimal concentration, 6%-8% solution. This concentration in carbohydrates is widely recognized to have the best osmolality allowing for rapid uptake and delivery to working muscles.Enhance Nutrient DeliveryMonster Maize carbohydrates can help accelerate the delivery of other performance supplements. The high molecular weights of these specialty carbohydrates help them reach the intestines rapidly. This rapid transit allows for added supplements like creatine, BCAA's and NO (Nitric Oxide) factors reach the intestines sooner.Ultra-DigestibleMonster Maize contains 100mg of Carbogen to accelerate digestion and breakdown of Monster Maize Complex Carbohydrates. Rapid digestion increases blood glucose levels. Increased blood glucose provides muscles with their preferred fuel source which helps protect and preserve valuable muscle glycogen.

After an intensive workout, the goal should be to recover what you lost during the exercise period. This also means helping your body recover from the soreness and muscle stretching that you have done during the last hour or so. Luckily, there are a variety of post workout supplements out in the market that help you get back on track.
1. Post workout protein. You need to take in more protein after a workout so that your body absorbs it and make more muscle mass in between regular workout sessions. You must take in protein that is easily digestible, like protein shakes, so that not a lot of time is needed for it to be absorbed by your body. If it takes more time to digest and absorb the protein, then the post workout effect will be reduced, making the absorption rate of the nutrients slower.
2. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates are also needed after a workout session. This is because you lost a lot of energy while doing your bench presses, so you need to have ample amounts of carbohydrates to supply you with energy to get back at home. You also need the carbohydrates to make your body breakdown the glucose that you get from other food types.
3. Glutamine is also needed to help your body restore its natural glucose levels. During an intensive workout, athletes lose a lot of glutamine and you need this back in your body to help you properly digest and breakdown the succeeding meals that you will be taking. If this does not happen then the slow digestion of food will just result to stored layers of fat.
Just as it is important to prepare your body for a workout, it is also equally important to replenish lost nutrients and recover properly for more workouts in the future.
