Any resource isn\u2019t useful until you know how to use it. To ensure the best results, you should learn how to use it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In this article, you\u2019ll learn:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>What is a mass gainer?<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>What mistakes are you making while using mass gainers?<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>How to take mass gainer?<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>When to take mass gainer?<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Difference between mass gainer and whey protein?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a Mass Gainer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who face difficulty gaining, mass gainers are a gift. Such individuals are blessed with a high metabolism and this makes them struggle to pack muscles. Such individuals need to consume more calories than an average individual. A mass gainer is a formula that lets them meet their surplus calorie needs and helps with muscle building. Mass gainers are rich in carbohydrates (complex carbs) and protein. The carbs to protein ratio of mass gainers are generally 3:1 and they also contain other nutrients such as MCT (Medium-Chain Triglycerides), vitamins, and minerals. This calorie-dense formula enriches you with various nutrients and helps in putting on muscle mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, what is important to understand is that mass gainer ain\u2019t no miracle product. It will give you desired results only when you combine it with the right workout routine and a balanced diet. Don\u2019t expect it to push your bodybuilding if you are not willing to push your limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another point on which you need to focus on is the way you use mass gainers. Even the best mass gainer supplement can fail to deliver optimum results if not used correctly. You need to pay close attention to realize if you\u2019re making any mass gaining mistakes.&nbsp;Below are 4 common mistakes that you are most likely to make when using mass gainers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read About&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleblaze.com\/articles\/Diet\/best-homemade-mass-gainer-shake-recipe-for-muscle-gain\/10203\">Best Homemade Mass Gainer Shake Recipe For Muscle Gain<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. ARE YOU MEETING YOUR CALORIE SURPLUS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You won\u2019t gain muscles until you gain bodyweight. The confusion here is- whether you need to gain extra kilos in the form of muscle or fats? The answer is simple- keep your fat level at a minimum since your goal is to gain muscles. You definitely need a calorie surplus, but it should not be more than 500-600 on the days you are training. Any number, less than it will cripple your goal of gaining muscles if you get indulged in extra physical activity. On the days when you\u2019re not training, you should stick to your regular calorie intake. If you normally need 3500 calories a day, you can raise it up to 4000 on the days you are training.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For a 25-year-old male who is working out heavily, the calorie requirement will vary depending on his height<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Weight in Kilos<\/td><td colspan=\"3\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Calorie Need&nbsp;in Kilo Calories<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>5ft 6 inches&nbsp;<\/td><td>5ft 8 inches<\/td><td>5ft 10 inches<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>50 &#8211; 55<\/td><td>&nbsp;2740 &#8211; 2872<\/td><td>2800 &#8211; 2900<\/td><td>&nbsp;2838 &#8211; 2970<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>55 &#8211; 60<\/td><td>&nbsp;2872 &#8211; 3000<\/td><td>2900 &#8211; 3000<\/td><td>&nbsp;2970 &#8211; 3100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>60 &#8211; 65<\/td><td>&nbsp;3000 &#8211; 3137<\/td><td>3054 &#8211; 3186<\/td><td>&nbsp;3100 &#8211; 3235<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>65 &#8211; 70<\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>3235 &#8211; 3367<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Know About&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleblaze.com\/articles\/Supplements\/top-8-bodybuilding-supplements-for-beginners---benefits--uses\/10143\">Top 8 Bodybuilding Supplements for Beginners &#8211; Benefits &amp; Uses<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.hkrtcdn.com\/ff\/02_1.jpg\" alt=\"Mass Gainer V\/S Whey Protein\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;DO YOU EAT THE RIGHT FOODS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your diet greatly impacts your muscle building. Sitting on your couch and munching fries &amp; chips won\u2019t do any good to you. Having a whole large pizza to yourself might sound like a delicious idea, but it will only result in the development of flab and love handles. For building muscles, you need to have a nutritious diet that is made up of various macro and micronutrients. Foods like brown rice, oats, potatoes, and pasta are rich in complex carbs that are required to maintain energy levels. Fruits are a great source of antioxidants and enrich you with healthy carbs. These are essential for recovering from the stress of training. Don\u2019t go completely carb-less or fat-less. Saturated fat is great in keeping your testosterone levels high which are crucial for muscle gains. As for protein, consume 1-1.5g of protein per kg of body weight.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most importantly, you have to follow the rule book (1 to 1.5g for a pound, 453g&nbsp;of body weight) on your protein needs, because muscles are made of proteins and if you shortchange on the necessary amino acids, your muscle growth suffers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Weight in Kilos<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Protein in grams<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>55<\/td><td>121 -181<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>60<\/td><td>132- 200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>65<\/td><td>143 &#8211; 215<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleblaze.com\/articles\/Supplements\/-top-4-facts-to-consider-before-you-buy-a-mass-gainer\/5923\">Top 4 Facts to Consider Before You Buy a Mass Gainer<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;ARE YOU MAKING THESE ERRORS WHILE USING MASS GAINERS?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What more can you ask for when you just have to mix the powder in water\/milk to get the gains you have always wished for! However, most of the mass gainer powders are mixed with milk to enhance the protein content and add up to the calories. If you\u2019re still not seeing the desired changes in your physique, check if you are making these mistakes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use as directed<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every mass gainer supplement comes with a usage direction generally at the back of the label. Always follow those instructions when it comes to choosing the scoop size and try not to use more or less than the recommended usage so that you get the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Not taking mass gainers on your off days<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re practising this, you need to change this habit. Even on the days, you don\u2019t train, consume mass gainers because they help in meeting your nutritional needs for the day. You should maintain your daily calorie intake, but not at the expense of mass gainers, as they are rich in various nutrients that your body needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Are you following the right workout routine to build muscles?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To build sturdy muscles, you need to provide it with enough stress by doing something which your muscles haven\u2019t experienced much. Until and unless your muscles undergo wear and tear, it is almost impossible for them to repair themselves. Plan your workout in such a way that it lays focus on optimizing muscle tension. Below are a few things you can do in order to enhance muscle tension:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adopt a rep range of around 6-12 to ensure that your muscles face sufficient tension<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Perform multiple sets of an exercise to increase muscle tension and damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rest time should be somewhere around 60-90 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instead of being unidirectional, try to hit your muscles from all directions. This will put more stress on them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get involved in heavy lifting and perform 1-5 reps once or twice a week so that the release of Human Growth Hormone is enhanced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not drinking the complete serving<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get optimum results, consume a full serving of your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleblaze.com\/categories\/gainers?navKey=CL-1708\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mass gainer supplement<\/a>&nbsp;along with proper foods to meet your protein and other nutrient requirements. The most commonly made mistake by many people is to not consume the full serving of a mass gainer and rather have it like any&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleblaze.com\/categories\/proteins?navKey=CL-1703\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">whey protein supplement<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mass gainers and whey protein are not alike! Know the difference.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Difference Between Mass Gainers &amp; Whey Protein<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Whey Protein<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Mass Gainers<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Derived from whey protein concentrate and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleblaze.com\/categories\/whey-protein-isolate?navKey=CL-4905\">whey protein isolate<\/a><\/td><td>A mix of fast and slow-acting proteins like whey and casein<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Has lesser calories&nbsp;<\/td><td>Serves around 3 times more calories than whey protein<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gets absorbed fast and works best a recovery protein shake, post-workout<\/td><td>Used to provide calorie surplus to support muscle growth and enhance muscle size<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I Take Mass Gainers &amp; Whey Protein Together?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideally, you should not consume mass gainers and whey protein supplements together as it is not of much use. Mass gainer powder already contains protein along with a mix of simple and complex carbs, fats, and other nutrients. Protein powders, on the other hand, are a great source of protein mainly. However, if you consume both of them together, you can increase your protein intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleblaze.com\/categories\/gainers?navKey=CL-1708&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=banner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.hkrtcdn.com\/ff\/banner1.jpg\" alt=\"Premium Bodybuilding Supplements\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How To Take Mass Gainer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mix a scoop of mass gainer with milk preferably or water. Shake well until the powder is completely dissolved and a smooth shake is formed and consume. Mixing with milk increases the amount of protein and calories of the shake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When To Take Mass Gainer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can follow the instructions given by the manufacturers or your dietitian. However, here are a few suggestions on taking mass gainers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mass gainers offer a good dose of complex carbs and that is why you can try it as a post-workout tonic to get that insulin surge which is required for building muscles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can also have it with breakfast to kick-start your day. You can also take it in-between meals and 30-40 minutes before going to bed at night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mass Gainer advice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always go with a trusted brand. Read the ingredients list to ensure that your mass gainer supplement is free from any harmful additives. It is even better if it comes loaded with digestive enzymes for better absorption of nutrients, just like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleblaze.com\/sv\/muscleblaze-mass-gainer-xxl-with-complex-carbs-and-proteins-in-3:1-ratio\/SP-33848\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MuscleBlaze Mass Gainer XXL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always maintain a log to determine your progress. Don\u2019t ignore the importance of resting. It is crucial for you to rest properly as your muscles repair themselves during this time period. Keep looking for new techniques to build muscle mass and fulfil the nutritional requirements of your body. Keep patience and work in the right direction and you will surely see favourable results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Media Partner:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/themediacoverage.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Media Coverage<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you too guilty of doing these top 4 commonly made mistakes with mass gainers?
