Custom Blend

Hello all, i have a friend who is interested in gaining some size. He currently does a lot of training and just completed a half tri athialon. He is only six percent body and is looking to gain some size. Besides the training aspect, I mentioned this site and how helpful it is. Can anyone recommend a good overall blend that he could use?

Thanks.

I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th.

he should try penta protein just protein itself. 6% body fat is pretty lean so im guessing he is not sensitive to alot of carbs... try something like the oatabolic... or do like 40% oatmuscle, 15% super plasma, 30% tri-fx, 15% EFA or omegas

If he's looking to gain some size and doing that much cardio, the most important thing is simply to eat ALOT of good food.

Correct.Cardio 20-30min.three times a week at the most if trying to gain size/muscle.

That's what I told him. He is definitely burning to many calories with cardio. I told him either to eat more or cut down on the cardio.

Gaining size and muscle is possible if you are doing alot more cardio than that, it's just that you really have to be mindful of catabolism. I have gained strength and size doing 200+ miles of bike riding a week, you just need to be mindful of everything. Consuming a drink with a small amount of protein in it during cardio will help alot. I would recommend something like....

25% Rilose
30 % HRS
30% Maltodextrin
5% Super Plasma
10% either Pepto Pro, CFM, 1300 (anti catabolic properties)

I think he is in the same situation as you. He bikes a lot. Thank you for the insite. I will let him know.

Even more effective might be if he decreased the length and increased in intensity of his cardio sessions, doing intervals or just going as hard as possible for a certain amount of time.

I would go with this formula if he wants to put on mass...I might try this one myself sometime

when i get around to my mass building... i might try to also do 15% bovine, 50% tri-fx, 15% efa, 20% casein...i think that would be a good post workout, then just add your own carbs like white bread, rice crackers, gummi bears, ice cream haha...
