Usually I don’t pay much attention when supplement companies release stacks, because many of the products are simply not necessary to the stack and just make it too expensive. In most cases you’re better off building your own stack using multiple brands. But today I heard that CytoSport has released a new “Monster Family”. This is not necessarily a supplement stack, but M&S has explained it pretty well about how it can be used as a stack.

The “Monster Stack” (taken from MuscleandStrength.com)

• Monster Pump pre-workout for energy and focus (an pumps)
• Monster Amino taken straight after your workout to kick start recovery and halt catabolism
• Monster Maize also taken during for maximum energy
• Monster Milk for whey protein post workout mixed with Monster Maize
• Monster Mass taken throughout the day to increase calories

This is a very solid stack for weight gain. You have everything covered. This would be a good stack for really skinny guys, those with a fast metabolism. Teens are a good example, because their metabolisms are rocking!

If you’re looking  for a mass gain stack, definitly check this one out.

We all know the benefits of supplementing with whey protein. Unfortunately, with the economy being how it is we don’t always have the luxury of taking all of the supplements we’d like.

That’s why I was SHOCKED when I read this deal this morning:

Muscle Gauge Nutrition Whey Protein and Whey Protein Isolate for $26.99 and $29.99, respectively! That means you can buy 5 pounds of whey protein blend for $26.99 and spend $29.99 to get the isolate whey. That’s an insane deal!

But wait, the deal gets even better! You can get free shipping on your entire purchase, as long as your order contains at least one 5 pound container of Muscle Gauge whey protein! That’s such a great deal!

Stock up now, boys, buy a few before this sale ends!

Go buy some now!

Edit: MyoFusion is on sale at Muscle and Strength now with a free Muscle Magazine!

Gaspari Nutrition have just released an awesome  new protein powder called MyoFusion. MyoFusion protein powder is an advanced blend of whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, milk protein isolate and egg albumen. This blend of 4 protein sources makes MyoFusion have a much higher amino acid score than most regular whey protein supplements.

Usually these protein powders have a big price tag, but MyoFusion comes in at under $39. This is very good value from what I’ve seen. Similar powders from MuscleTech and ISS have gone from almost $50.

If you’re not naturally big, and want to participate in a sport that requires you to put on some pounds, then you need a way to gain quality mass (muscle, not fat!). Often skinny guys (body type: ectomorph) find it really hard to gain weight, they have genetics working against them. Fast metabolisms mean that naturally thin guys have to consume a lot of calories to grow lean muscle. This is where weight gainers are really helpful. While you should get most fo your nutrition from your diet, weight gainers make up the difference.

CytoSport has just released a new weight gainer called Monster Mass. Monster Mass is based on CytoSport’s Monster Milk are is perfect for guys who want to gain muscle mass, but not fat. Monster Mass is low in sugar, and high in whey protein and complex carbohydrates. Perfect for lean muscle gain without fat. Here’s what CytoSport had to say about Monster Mass:

If you’re sport requires you to put on some size or strength you know a bit about supplements you can help you get there. Pre-workout boosters, post workout recovery, night time protein etc. But now there’s a new type of supplement you can use to increase mass, IntraVol by MuscleTech. This is pretty much the first supplement to be designed to help you build muscle while you train.

IntraVol contains Waxy Maize Starch, Amino Acids and Creatine along with a list of other ingredients longer than my forearm! (too be honest, I don’t know what they all do). I think this is going to be one to keep an eye on. I was impressed by the reviews so far and have tried some samples myself (which I got when ordering other supps from Muscle and Strength) and I have to say I had more energy, was less fatigued, and felt much better at the end of my routine.

It’s going to be interesting to see if other supplement brands some up with something similar, I’m guessing they will. But for now IntraVol pretty much stand on its own. Definitely one to keep any eye on for all you guys that are looking to gain weight and strength!
