Amino Acid Supplements

Amino acids are simply complete proteins broken down into their individual elements, and are no more helpful than consuming complete protein from natural sources (meat, fish, dairy, eggs, etc). Purchasing an amino acid supplement will provide you with no increase in benefit when compared with using real food or a high quality egg protein powder, and in fact may be wasteful (as the complete protein profile is necessary for muscular development, and creating imbalances by way of consuming individual amino acids may disrupt the body’s ability to function normally).

I gained over 60 lbs of muscle mass without using individual amino acid supplements, and will show you how to gain muscle mass naturally through proper weight training workout and diet techniques that have been proven effective.

Does Glutamine Build Muscle Mass?

Glutamine is an individual amino acid promoted as the most important building block of muscle mass, yet in reality, many amino acids, in concert, provide for consistent, dramatic muscular increases, and glutamine supplementation is not necessary in one who consumes sufficient protein through natural (food) sources. In fact, supplementing with individual amino acids can be not only wasteful but counterproductive, as all essential amino acids are necessary to form complete protein in the body, and creating imbalances can harm the normal recovery process (meaning you build less muscle mass). By consuming sufficient protein through food sources as I teach in my MuscleNOW bodybuilding program, you will provide sufficient nutrients for muscle building, without the use of individual amino acid products.

Remember, gaining muscle mass results from proper weight training and bodybuilding diet methods, and no supposed band-aid (such as glutamine) is a valid substitute. I gained over 60 lbs of muscle mass naturally, and will show you exactly how to improve your body through proper weight training and diet techniques that have been proven effective.

How To Gain Weight (Muscle Mass)

Most who seek to gain weight fail to realize that popular bodybuilding “bulk” diet methods also force the body to add a large amount of fat, which ruins appearance. I cannot stress enough the importance of a proper bodybuilding diet in ensuring that weight gained is in the form of muscle mass, as otherwise, fat will comprise the majority of body weight increase; I am sure you’ve heard many brag over 20 new lbs of weight in a short period, yet one must ask, 20 new lbs of what? If it’s simply fat weight, with three inches added to the stomach, you’re not going to improve your mirror reflection, only the scale reading. Again, the goal is to improve appearance as a result of weight gain, meaning you must gain muscle mass, and the only possible way of ensuring such a state is to minimize body fat increase. High calorie, haphazard weight gain diet plans lead to substantial fat accumulation, which is the very opposite of what you wish to achieve — never forget this!

I suffered from very high body fat levels in my attempt to gain weight, and unfortunately, many others follow similar flawed advice that leads to massive fat gains (easily found on various muscle building Internet sites and bodybuilding magazines). If you are looking to gain fat, simply eat large quantities of junk food, but if you’re goal is to improve appearance with muscle, such improvements require specific, detailed diet and weight training rules, none of which originate from “traditional” weight gain tidbits.

Remember, building muscle mass naturally is only possible with proper weight lifting and diet methods, and you risk high levels of body fat through the adoption of common weight gain advice (especially if you decide to use a weight gain powder!). I have personally gained over 60 lbs of muscle mass, and had to burn over 50 pounds of fat due to errors in my weight gain approach; learn from both my success and mistakes through the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program, where I will teach you how to gain weight naturally, without bodybuilding supplements or drugs. The hundreds of muscle building testimonials here at MuscleNOW.com are evidence that my MuscleNOW bodybuilding program is all that you need to gain weight (muscle mass) naturally, without supplements or steroids.
