Strength and muscle training will help you get the body you always wanted – but only in combination with the right diet!
YOUR OBJECTIVE:
To create a well-muscled physique with great abdominal muscles and muscular arms.
HOW TO ACHIEVE:
Progressive weight training in combination with a high quality intake of protein.
During training muscle fibres are slightly torn and it is the subsequent repair and muscle thickening that becomes muscle growth. During the repair phase it is important to have a quality pool of protein within the body to provide the mechanism to allow muscles to grow.
HOW MUCH PROTEIN DO YOU NEED?
When building muscle it is important to eat sufficient protein and a daily requirement of between 1.5g to 2g per kilo of bodyweight is advised. Protein is obtained from the normal diet but is often combined with unwanted fat and calories.
Multipower has produced a range of nutrient packed protein shakes that can replace or supplement a small protein rich meal to ensure quick recovery from training.
WHAT ARE AMINO ACIDS?
Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein. There are 20 amino acids which help build muscles, blood, skin, hair and support internal organs. Amino acids can be synthesized in the body but eight of them, called essential amino acids must be obtained from the daily diet.
Pre-digested protein sportsfoods are absorbed faster than food protein that has to be digested by the body before its amino acids are available for muscle repair. It is hard to establish the amino acid content of regular food protein but in a Multipower protein shake a high content of essential amino acids is present.
TIP: Try Super Amino Liquid shots >> a fast acting amino rich drink.
However hard you train the muscles will be hidden if a high body fat level sits over them! It is important during this phase to reduce body fat by controlling the quality and quantity of what you eat.
To energise and sustain your workout Multipower has designed a range of protein and energy bars:
> Power Pack with 10g of protein
> Platinum Bar with 24.6g protein
> Protein and Energy Bar with 11g protein
> Double Bar with 18g protein
 D-FINE |
 |
| For ripped definition, D-FINE is a whey protein isolate shake containing 50% more essential amino acids. |
| X-PLODE |
 |
| For explosive recovery, X-PLODE helps reduce the catabolic effect of training. |
| Formula 80 Evolution |
 |
| Blend of high quality proteins to help provide your daily protein requirements. |
| Whey Protein Iso Complex |
 |
| Contains the very best whey protein isolates which have a very high biological value. |
> FORMULA 80 Evolution
A blend of high quality proteins (Whey, Milk, egg and casein) which are digested over a number of hours (time release). It is a Protein Rich meal substitute containing amino acids for fast recovery. Drink a shake mid-morning or at bedtime to ensure a continuous supply of muscle regenerating amino acids throughout the night.
TIP: When training regularly and needing two protein-rich meals per day use FORMULA 80 Evolution >> Milk protein is a high-quality protein source and is a more economical option than whey protein for most.
> WHEY PROTEIN ISO COMPLEX
Contains the very best whey protein isolates which have a very high biological value. The advantage of fast isolate absorption (quicker than milk protein) is great for bodybuilders eating up to 6 protein-rich meals per day. Whey protein isolate mixes easily with water and is also low in fat and lactose.
The benefit of whey protein isolate for the bodybuilder is its faster rate of digestion which keeps the body’s amino acid pool high.
TIP: Use fast-acting WHEY PROTEIN ISO COMPLEX >> directly after training or as an additional small meal. Whey protein isolate is more expensive than milk proteins because of
its quality.
> FIT PROTEIN ready to drink shake
When access to good quality food is difficult consider a FIT PROTEIN >> ready to drink shake. Packed with 53g of protein and 50g of energy-giving carbohydrate it is a small meal in a bottle.
Tip: look out for protein powders with high amino acid content and a high biological value (means the protein has the same characteristics as muscle protein)
> D-FINE For ripped definition, D-FINE >> is a whey protein isolate shake containing 50% more amino acids than a comparable portion of the world health organisation’s reference protein.
> X-PLODE For explosive recovery, X-PLODE >> the blend of special carbohydrates and whey protein speeds up the recovery phase post training.
> 55g Protein Shake High quality protein shake contains milk peptides for fast absorption.
TIP: kick start your work out with an energy boosting drink. Try RED KICK >> with its caffeine and guarana formulation.
Caffeine gives a quick boost prior to training while the gentler mores sustained effect of guarana acts over a longer period of time.
TIP: As an alternative before training or when feeling tired try GREEN KICK >> A blend of caffeine, guarana and taurine. It kick starts your energy levels to ensure a good workout.
