USN Hyperbolic Mass- WHY?
15 April 2010 13:09
( permalink)
Ok so this is another all in one to follow on from the MF anabolic....but why and when would people need 220g of carbs in one serving? The general public train for maybe 1 hour and no will delete glycogen enough to warrant such a heavy serve of carbs, other quality gainers tend to range from 60-100g but 220g surely this is just overkill ????

i echo your thoughts. i would imagine its to enter the category of "mega calorie gainer" much like O.N serious mass with 250g carbs per serving. i agree with you in that it is not necessary unless you want to add some fat. then again you could take half a serving with an extra scoop of protein to get all of the benefits without the ludicrous high carbs.

Agreed but surely taking a half serving with extra protein defeats the object of the product, why not use the MF anabolic ad add a carb powder???? Seems another strange SKU choice almost a knee jerk to Sci MX omni hardcore but with the mindset no lets make it much more hardcore and add an extra 130g of carbs???

^^ have to agree. it seems that the greater the number of calories the better the product to some people. some people struggle to see the difference between fat and muscle but if you are putting on weight some people are happy with that.

Yea i understand how they mean, i know a few people myself who just want tp add weight as they are so underweight, even if its fat. And i see where they are coming from tbh. Personally i wouldnt bother unless you are in the position of wanting to add "weight". Just stick to your more well know Wheys and Mass gainers. Andy, BBWarehouse :)

Of the 220g of carbs how much of that is from simple carbs (sugars)?

they say 35g sugars but the carb content is: 4-Stage Glyco-Matrix Carb system (Long and medium chain glucose polymers, Dextrose monohydrate, Fructose, Waxy maize starch) waxy maize and dextrose are both high GI. i would imagine the same from the glucose polymers. never going to help trying to add purely lean mass.

Thanks guys pleased you agree i get a little frustrated when compamies release products with alot of marketing that will lead consumers into false beliefs, this is a sugar load use it twice a day you will get fat use it once a day and you will gain fat unless you eat miserly amounts during the day however the marketing will have some users believe they will add slabs of rippling muscle!!! Rant Over usa companies i kind of expect it of but USN i didn't.

some people need, and can get away with huge amounts of simple carbs, i dont see anything wrong with a company providing a product to meet that need. The amount of product per serving must be huge though!

Where there is demand a product will come as they say . Wurz This. We supply one gym who cannot sell a weight gainer with less than 1000 calories per serving. It's what a certain % of the population wants I guess.

Current goals: get back in the game

Hang on a tick. Isn't it just a large serving? So it's a pretty normal weight gainer product but one which recommends larger serving than others? Cunning :)

but iain, dont you know you cant deviate from the serving size it says on the tub!!! thats why this one has 2x the calories of a normal gainer! of course, any sensible person would realise that the serving size is also 2x larger, but unfortunately that simple point seems very lost on alot of people. i heard someone dismiss a quality weight gainer sold in our gym last week, after reading the back, saying 'thats crap its only 400 calories, the one im using now is 1200'

If only the people purchasing these ate more food. I use relfex instant mass and boditronics mass attack,with the reflex I have it in 2 half servings which gives 27g protein and 30g of carb in each of my servings. In a few weeks however this will probably double to the whole serving in one sitting.
If you love something let it go,if it comes back to you it's yours,if it doesn't it never was.

its a shame that people do just look to gainers for calorie count nothing else, people will rarely half servings or double up serving sizes of cleaner gaines because they just want huge calorie numbers as cheap as possible. Its unfortunate that people are so quick to grab a high carb gainer rather than sit down and workout a solid diet to get what they need but from a business standpoint if there's demand then it sells so keep it rolling.
