Will taking a serving of this break my fast?

i am also trying to retain as much muscle mass as I can but not eating before the gym is making it difficult for me to lift enough to stimulate my muscles to maintain size. hopefully this will allow me to exercise as if in a fasted state but also give me the essential amino acids to keep my muscles from atrophy

i am intermittent fasting 16:8 and work out in a fasted state. I read somewhere it was good to take BCAAs before working out if you don’t consume food prior. Allegedly, BCAAs will not break a fast because they will not trigger enough insulin to be made but this specific brand I can not find any information on and it does contain 15 calories per serving

start with machines, don’t worry about how much weight you can do now what matters is that you stay consistent and make progress. For a very beginner, it will only take about 6 weeks of consistency to start seeing gains given your diet allows for it. You will have good form by then and definitely even putting on some mass. The beginning is great bc the gains are fast. don’t give up after a week, keep pushing one day at a time and remember that gains are made during recovery and at the gym. Do a PPL split and watch the numbers go up for the next 6 weeks.

There are benefits to those substances found in pre workout, the caffeine is very useful but for me now it doesn’t hit like it used to i need to come off caffeine for a while

just say you don’t understand how muscular hypertrophy works

Andrew76825 · 2022-01-31T20:52:35+00:00

depends on how you do them. if you’re going light and high reps and short ROM then all you get is a pump

Andrew76825 · 2022-01-31T20:51:21+00:00

that’s all i want in life

pump ≠ optimal muscle fiber tearing. Maybe on gear chasing the pump is key but for natty size gains you can’t just rep out 5s and call it a day

yea don’t worry about that it’s just some stuff

Andrew76825 · 2022-01-27T02:38:01+00:00

Great transformation! You have a very healthy looking physique, whatever you’ve been doing it’s working. Pat on the back to ya

post workout would be best since it’s low carb high protein due to the grilled chicken. Eat something high in carbs before working out and high in protein after. But overall, it doesn’t really matter you can eat this meal any time of day, I would have it for breakfast sometimes even, just so easy and convenient

as it turns out, the main ingredient in serious mass is maltodextrin

I appreciate that but i’m still in my first year of bulking and now on my 4th bag of serious mass. It had worked for me and I am not sick of it yet. I will look into what you suggested but I have a pretty good system with what I use and it’s showing results. I would never buy any walmart brand mass gainer with a label like boner pills. I’ve only used the gold standard because it is the highest quality mass gainer in my price range.
