Formass is indicated for athletes seeking to increase their daily intake of high-quality carbohydrate & protein calories in an effort to gain or preserve body weight or muscle mass & improve recovery. Dorian Yates is a former 6x Mr. Olympia, respected around the world for his knowledge of training & nutrition. Dorian’s authentic, uncompromising personality style, & philosophies forever changed the sport of bodybuilding. Dorian states, “ Formass was developed by my scientific panel of Ph Ds, nutritionists & technical consultants. I supervised the entire process to make sure it helps you gain as much lean body weight as possible, as quickly as possible, & keep it on. We used the highest quality ingredients, including low-glycemic & branched-chain carbohydrates, MCTs, digestive enzymes, fibre & the Tempro cold temperature processed & diversified protein blend. I’m confident that you will never find another lean gainer that works as powerfully as Formass or that tastes as addictively delicious. The athletes I train use it every day, as do I.” When trying to gain body weight, athletes should focus on increasing muscle mass (lean body weight) while minimizing fat gain. This requires stimulating the synthesis of both muscle protein & glycogen. A single bout of resistance exercise can lower muscle glycogen levels 30-40%. Low muscle glycogen levels can hurt performance, delay recovery & impede muscle growth. If no calories are consumed after exercise, both muscle glycogen & protein synthesis will remain depressed. The fastest & most effective way to replenish glycogen & stimulate protein synthesis post-training is to consume high-quality carbohydrate & protein calories. Formass contains the Tempro cold processed & diversified protein blend to which we have added 5 high-quality carbohydrates including oat fibre, inulin & hydrolysates of waxy maize (rich in branched-chain carbohydrates) & potato. This combination is believed to produce longer-lasting increases in whole-body anabolism leading to greater increases in lean body weight, faster recovery & enhanced performance. Formass was repeatedly tested by Dorian & his scientific panel using different flavouring systems until they arrived at what he feels is the most delicious lean mass gainer you will ever use. Increases replenishment of muscle glycogen stores (low muscle glycogen stores delay recovery & impede muscle growth) (ingestion of carbohydrates [carbs] like those in Formass has been shown to accelerate muscle glycogen replenishment after exercise) Increases nitrogen balance (a positive nitrogen balance promotes muscle building; a negative one can prevent it) Increases whole-body & muscle protein synthesis rates (lean body weight cannot increase without an increase in protein synthesis). Co-ingestion of carbs & proteins like those in Formass has been shown to increase whole-body & muscle protein synthesis rates by 29% & 49%, respectively. Decreases muscle protein breakdown (co-ingestion of carbs & proteins like those in Formass has been shown to reduce muscle protein breakdown)
