The No-Supplement Process To Gain Lean Muscle
The term “muscle gainer” generally conjures up images of some kind of supplement, protein powder or other product sold on late-night TV. You can certainly get some benefits from supplements, but you don’t need them when you’re trying to build muscle. People have been building muscles for centuries without the aid of supplements. One of the most effective muscle gainer combinations incorporates a balance of training and diet – and not a diet that requires excessive amounts of protein.
So What Is a Good “Muscle Gainer” Workout Routine?

Dietary supplements. Ultimate Muscle Mass Formula. Artificially flavored. Prolab N-Large2 is a powerful mass gaining support formula designed to promote size on the hardest winners. We emphasize the amount of protein per serving, as it promotes the essential nutrients, the muscle mass. N-Large2 also contains a special blend of carbohydrates to help fuel and support weight training. Fat avoided, although some, is a highly concentrated energy source (double that of protein or carbohydrates). Fat is also a necessary component of all cell membranes, nerve covering, digestive juices, and most importantly, hormone production. A diet with too little fat can actually…

If you want to gain muscle, it’s my opinion that you should develop a workout plan that includes 6-15 reps alternated with 2-5 reps. The reason for this is that high reps build the fluid within the muscle cells and low reps build the actual muscle tissue of the muscle cells. The fastest growth will come from an increase of cellular fluid, but strength and density of the muscle will be caused by an increase of the actual muscle tissue.
Don’t Mix High and Low Rep Training in the Same Workout
The human body naturally adapts to patterns of behavior and activity. If you perform high reps and low reps within the same workout it will simply just get “sort of” good at each rep range. Have you ever heard of the saying “A Jack of All Trades and Master of None”? This principle can be applied to weight training. The best muscle gainer workout will involve a period of time lifting for cell volume in the high rep range and a period of time building muscle tissue in the low rep range.
Tip #3 – Alternate Method: Try Just Lifting 5 Repetitions Per Set
You won’t see many people at the gym doing the 5-rep lifting workouts in order to add muscle mass. This approach is known to have great results, and can help you to gradually and steadily build the size, density and strength of your muscles. The downside is that muscle growth will be slower than if you simply lifted 6-15 reps. The advantage is that the muscle that you do develop will be especially dense and well-defined.
Tip #4 – The Structure Of The 5×5 Muscle Gainer Set
Never warm-up using high repetitions if you are doing a routine of 5 sets of 5 reps. Make sure to choose a weight that you can lift easily 10 times and only lift it 5. For the second set, pick something you could lift 8 times and do it 5 times. Sets of 3-5 reps should be done with a weight that you would have some difficulty lifting for 5 reps; just don’t choose one that can hurt you. By watching the weights that you are lifting and avoiding muscle failure, you will get stronger in the long run by sending positive messages to your nervous system.
Keep Your Muscle Gainer Diet Simple
For every pound of body weight that you have, you need to consume approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of a gram of protein each day. For a 200-pound person, this amounts to 100-130 grams of protein. The calories should be kept around 12 per pound of body weight. You really don’t need any muscle gainer supplements if you follow this simple diet and workout approach.
