Maxs Clean Mass

The old thinking – to make decent gains you have to bulk up, build muscle but add lots of fat, and then diet down to show your new gains. Now science tells us that there is a better way...

The right balance of high quality protein and good carbs will stimulate lean muscle growth without adding lots of unwanted fat to your physique! 

To build quality muscle you need lots of quality protein. But you also need good carbs to fuel the process – they are your catalyst for gains. But too much carbohydrate intake starts pushing the balance to adding fat, so you must get the balance right. Science tells us the optimum ratio is 2:1, two parts good carbs to one part quality protein.To build quality lean mass you need to keep this ratio constant with your food intake and your supplement program. MAX'S Clean MASS is formulated with this ideal 2:1 Ratio so you can build clean lean mass for the body you've always wanted.

MAX'S Clean MASS Protein Blend

Blended proteins verses single protein – which is better? All proteins have specific characteristic, strengths and weaknesses. Whey is fast acting – ideal for taking after training but not a good choice before bed when you need slow release. Science now supports protein blends as the best muscle building option. Quite simply, you get better protein synthesis by taking a blend of fast, medium and slow proteins than by just taking one type of protein alone - because you norish your muscles for longer!

MAX'S Clean MASS Protein Blend is a specific combination of fast, medium and slow dairy proteins that extends your growth window by several hours. You stay in positive nitrogen balance for longer to help you pack on more muscle, get stronger, bigger and more powerful. The Clean Mass Protein Blend contains:

• Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides – Immediate: Hydrolysed Whey Peptides are produced by treating purified Whey Protein Isolate with specific enzymes that cleave the peptide bonds of the whey protein structure to produce shorter peptide chains and amino acids. They are produced in a non acidic environment to produce an extremely high quality hydrolysed protein, with a cleaner taste and optimum absorption speed.
  
  
• Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) – Fast: WPI is natures best protein for building lean muscle. It is purified from milk using an advanced two stage Cross Flow Technology of Ultra and Micro filtration to produce a pure, un-denatured WPI with high bioactivity and highest bioavailability. It’s quite simply the purest and best Whey you can use.
  
  
• Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) – Medium: WPC is an excellent muscle builder with many health promoting benefits. Like WPI it is manufactured using Ultra Filtration and contains highly bioactive protein micro-fractions to maximise muscle building and health.
  
  
• Casein – Slow: Casein gels in your stomach during digestion which means it is slower to digest and absorb. As a result it provides amino acids and bioactive peptides for up to 4 hours to fuel muscle growth.
  
  
• Milk Protein Isolate (MPI) – Very slow: This natural blend of 20% Whey and 80% Casein, also contains Micellar Casein, the slowest digesting dairy protein. Micellar Casein is known for it's anti-catabolic properties and can sustain elevated amino acid levels for up to 8 hours.

MAX'S GlycoForce Carb Complex

To fuel muscle growth the right carbohydrates are essential. You don’t want a whole lot of high glycemic carbs that will just turn to fat. You want a blend of fast, medium and slow carbs to give an initial blood glucose spike to fire your metabolism, and then a sustained release to fuel muscle growth and power your muscles through every workout. MAX’S GlycoForce Carb Complex was developed to work synergistically with MAX’S Clean MASS Protein Blend and keep you growing all day:

• Fast Acting Simple Sugars to raise blood sugar and drive carbs and protein into muscle cells to up-regulate protein synthesis.
  
  
• Medium Absorbing Carbs - Maltodextrins, Waxy Maize Starch and Fruit Extract to stabilise blood glucose levels and keep energy levels high for training plus fuel metabolic processes required for normal activity and growth.
  
  
• Slower Absorbing Carbs - Potato and Rice starches drip feed carbs into your system over several hours, keeping your energy levels constant and your metabolism anabolic.

MAX’S Clean MASS Support Matrix

This Matrix of proven nutrients supports muscle recovery, protein synthesis and energy production.

• L-Glutamine – is the most abundant free amino acid in human muscle and plasma and is needed at high levels by rapidly dividing cells during protein synthesis. Heavy training dramatically lowers blood plasma levels of Glutamine which will inhibit recovery and muscle growth. Post exercise Glutamine supplementation dramatically shortens recovery times, reduces muscle soreness and stimulates higher rates of protein synthesis for muscle growth.
  
  
• Branched Chain Amino Acids – L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine. These 3 special amino acids are taken up rapidly by skeletal muscle after intense training to help initiate muscle recovery. L-Leucine in particular has emerged as the key regulator of protein synthesis by activating the mTOR pathway in muscle and must be present in optimal amounts to help optimiise muscle growth.
  
  
• Creatine – intake maximizes muscular Creatine Phosphate levels – your muscle main precursor to explosive energy producing Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP). This means more power and energy in every set, plus faster and more complete recovery between sets. Creatine is also a strong anabolic agent, with research showing significant up-regulation of protein synthesis following hard weight training. Consistent use of with a solid weight training program will increase your strength and power, build more muscle and transform your physique.
  
  
• Arginine AlphaKetoglutarate - helps stimulates Nitric Oxide production (NO) which is a vasodilator - it helps blood vessel walls relax and expand to carry more blood to working muscles for higher performance and stronger muscle pump.
  
  
• Medium Chain Triglcerides (MCT’s) – are processed differently to other fats and can be directly metabolised for energy. In this sense, they mimic carbohydrate function. MCT’s are used for many purposes including production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for muscle contraction.
  
  
• Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) – is a unique type of fatty acid to exhibits a wide range of beneficial metabolic and health effects. Studies confirm CLA has a strong positive effect on body composition with prolonged use by increasing uptake of nutrients (fats, carbs and protein) into muscle cells that leads to enhanced protein synthesis, higher metabolic rates and reduced fat storage.
  
  
• Vitamins & Minerals – A full spectrum of vitamins and minerals are included to help support optimal metabolic response.
