Allmax Quickmass Background

Allmax Quickmass - Gain 10 pounds in 10 days

Allmax are a supplements manufacturer based in Canada. They are a relatively new company, but they have an excellent team who are responsible for the introduction of Quickmass, a rapid weight gainer, that claims to give gains of 10 lbs in 10 days.

Quickmass Overview

Allmax Quickmass Label

At 1010 calories per serving, Allmax Quickmass immediately gave the impression of being another cheap, low quality weight gainer, full of fat and high in sugar. But, looking at the label and reading forum reviews, etc. it appeared to be the exact opposite. Quickmass provides a whopping 56g of high quality protein per serving from 8 different sources, including whey concentrate, isolate, hydrolysate, calcium caseinate, micellar casein and egg albumen. Carbs are low GI, easily absorbed maltodextrin, like used in CNP Pro Mass. About 12% of the calories found in Quickmass come from good fats, such as CLA, Flax Seed Oil, Sunflower Oil, Coconut Oil, MCTs and Borage Oil. Also included in the mix is Allmax’s NP5™ technology, which includes Creatine Monohydrate, Di Creatine Malate, L-Taurine and Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate. Every forum post I have read about Quickmass so far point towards it being a great product and we think it will become very popuular in 2011.

Allmax Quickmass – Recommended Usage

Allmax recommend using Quickmass twice per day (4 scoops, twice per day) whilst trying to bulk up. The first serving should be consumed between meals 1 and 2 and the second serving should be consumed as a post workout shake. If you want to maintain your weight, then simply use Quickmass at the same times, but halve the serving size to 2 scoops. Consuming such high amounts of carbs with the creatine and protein makes the best use of the creatine and you really should see some huge gains in short time. Just make sure your training is higher intensity than normal by doing extra forced reps, supersets or whatever is needed. Leave your comments to let me know your thoughts on this product. One final point is that we are trialling Allmax Quickmass ourselves but it is the first day today, so no point saying anything other than it tastes great, but you need a blender to mix the all in one shake properly.

What is the quickest way to gain a stone of muscle?

Asking how to gain a stone of muscle quickly is a popular question that is asked regularly by novice bodybuilders. To gain a stone of muscle, assuming you are new to the gym, is actually quite easy. The most important aspects are shown below:

1. Consistency with your diet – eat 6 meals per day, every day
2. Ensuring good hydration – drink 8-10 glasses of water per day
3. Perform high intensity exercise for 50 minutes, three times per week, using multiple joint compound movements only
4. Sleep 8-9 hours per night and rest as much as possible

Mass Gaining Diet

Your diet must contain a high amount of protein, whilst being low sugar and low fat. This means that you need to combine slow releasing carbs, such as potatoes, pasta, rice, wholemeal bread, porridge, etc. with proteins, such as lean meats, fish, eggs, milk, nuts, etc. Each meal should be 3 hours apart, no more, no less and should contain a similar amount of calories. A good rule of thumb for gaining muscle size and weight while training is to consume 20 times your bodyweight (in pounds), in calories every day. If you struggle with your diet, then buy meal replacement supplements, to replace two or three meals per day. If you struggle to consume enough protein, then buy a whey protein shake that you can drink with your meal. Ready to drink supplements that come in cartons that you keep in your fridge can be a handy type of meal replacement for breakfast.

Hydration Requirements for Bodybuilding

Drinking plenty of water is a must for bodybuilding success and there are no excuses for not drinking enough water every day.

High Intensity Mass Gaining Training

Training has to be high intensity to give results. You should select a weight, once warmed up that allows you to complete 6-8 reps. Imagine that the exercise only starts when you can no longer complete a full rep. Now is the time to really try harder to complete more slow, controlled half, then quarter reps, then hold the weight under tension, to get a painful burn for a further 10 seconds say, with maximum effort and good form. This is high intensity training and the results speak for themselves.

The following routine is very basic, but is an ideal training programme for a beginner:

Note: For every exercise, ensure a 60 second rest from putting the weight down to picking it back up, apart from Squats and Deadlifts, where you can rest 2-3 minutes.

How long will it take to Gain a Stone of Muscle?

If you don’t see any small increases in size or strength every 2 weeks, then you are doing something wrong. Assuming the above advice is followed perfectly, gaining a stone of muscle is possible in 6-7 weeks for a 18+ year old male, who is fairly new to bodybuilding.

Using creatine will dramatically increase results, but personally, I would follow the above advice for four weeks first, then use creatine.
