A Perfect Duo for Gaining Muscle Mass!

A Perfect Duo for Gaining Muscle Mass!
I am on a journey to increase my muscle mass and decided to combine two powerhouse supplements - Top Shelf King Maker and Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass. The results have been nothing short of incredible, and I can't recommend this combo enough to fellow fitness enthusiasts!The supp to combine with ON's serious Mass is Top Shelf King Maker ... it is an anabolic supplement for men to increase lean muscle growth and it certainly lives up to the claim. Its carefully crafted blend of ingredients is specifically designed to promote lean muscle development, and I've experienced remarkable gains in a short period of time. With King Maker, I felt an increase in strength and endurance, which helped me push harder during my workouts.Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass, on the other hand, is a renowned mass gainer that provides a substantial calorie and protein boost. It's a perfect complement to Top Shelf King Maker, as it offers the essential fuel my body needs for muscle growth. This supplement helped me hit my daily calorie and protein targets with ease, ensuring that I never fell short on the nutrients required to pack on muscle.The combination of these two products has been next level for me. Not only have I seen noticeable increases in muscle size and definition, but I've also experienced faster recovery times between workouts. This means I can hit the gym more frequently and maintain a consistent workout routine, which is crucial for muscle growth.One concern that some may have with mass gainers is the potential for unwanted fat gain. However, by using Top Shelf King Maker alongside Serious Mass, I've been able to maintain a lean physique while still adding mass. This is a testament to the targeted approach of King Maker in promoting lean muscle gains.In conclusion, if you're serious about gaining muscle mass and you want to do it the right way, the combination of Top Shelf King Maker and Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass is a winning strategy. These two supplements work in harmony to help you achieve your muscle-building goals, and the results are simply outstanding. I've never been more satisfied with my progress, and I owe a big part of it to this dynamic duo. Give it a try, and you won't be disappointed!

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2016
Flavor Name: Chocolate Peanut ButterSize: 16 Servings (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
My most recent purchase from Amazon was the protein supplement, Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass. The reason I am writing this review (I usually don’t write reviews, unless the product is exceptional) is because I’ve found this product to be extremely helpful in my fitness goals. As a male in college, I don’t always have a lot of time on my hands. As you can imagine, college students often have varying and complicated schedules that require convenience and on-the-go products for our busy lives. But this product is definitely not only for college students but for people of all walks of life; people who need the right amount of nutrients and calories in a quick and convenient way that tailors to their schedule. I’ve been using this protein shake for quite some time now as this has been my fourth or fifth purchase. I wanted to wait for some time to see if this product does indeed have any positive effect on my fitness goals, so in short, Serious Mass by Optimum Nutrition does work.

Who is this for?

Serious Mass protein powder is for anyone looking to gain weight in a healthy, convenient, and safe way. It is for people who may need a boost in their weight due to their health situations, for lifters, bodybuilders, athletes, fitness enthusiasts and the list goes on. As for me, I am using this product to add on more weight when I go to the gym to lift and to increase muscle mass.

Convenience

Naturally, I have an extremely high metabolism. Since I am a hard gainer, to acquire more weight I need to eat a lot throughout the day. Because of time constraints and busy schedules, Serious Mass makes it easy to consume, essentially, a high-caloric meal.

How much to use?

The directions for this protein shake asks for a serving of two scoops; however, I have found this to be way too much as it is too chunky and thick even with the help of a blender. I suggest to use just one scoop as the scoop that’s included is very large with it being already about 625 calories. You can use this as a meal replacement but for optimal effect, this should be taken in between meals and before bed.

Personal Experience

I personally have found this extremely beneficial in gaining muscle. Within a couple of weeks to a month there are noticeable gains in muscle growth. As for taste, the protein powder actually tastes good unlike other brands; so far I’ve had strawberry and chocolate, both are very good. The only small issue that I have had with Serious Mass (along with all other protein powder supplements) is the need to use a bathroom relatively soon after consuming this product. As with many protein powder and supplements, it usually increases bowel movement. Then again it can be thought of as a small sacrifice to the greater benefits that are to come.

Despite this review being quite lengthy, I truly hope that your goals will be met for whatever situation you try to achieve. As I have found this product very helpful; I hope that it too will benefit you all as well. Best wishes to your health and journey!

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2010
I review everything I buy. Especially what I'm putting into my body. Optimum Nutrition is a reputable company who really knows how to make a great product. I'm a hardgainer like most people who will be using this product. I use a few more supplements from Optimum Nutrition and this is by far my favorite. Besides Serious Mass, I also have Optimums Gold Standard Whey (Chocolate flavor) and Creatine. Let me start off by saying that the Whey's flavor is horrible. I don't understand why everyone raves about how good it tastes. Its distgusting. Serious Mass however does not dissapoint. If you feel the same way about the taste of other Optimum Nutrition supplements don't worry, Serious Mass tastes awesome, mixes very well in a shaker bottle, and contains exactly what im looking for in a weight gainer shake.

PRO'S
+ Tastes great
+ Loaded with calories
+ Contains 3 different types of Protein. (Whey, Casein, and Egg Protein)
+ Very affordable
+ Easy on the stomach (Depending on the person this may be a problem if you follow the serving size. I'll get into that below)

Con's
- You may think getting a 12lb bag will last a long time. You couldn't be more wrong. Serving size is 2 scoops per shake. ONE SCOOP IS EQUAL TO 1 CUP OF POWDER. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE. Following the directions would cause to you finish a 12lb bag in 3 days. This is ridiculous. Half the serving and add your own ingredients.
- Somewhat high sugar. This product does not add any sugar* However that doesnt mean it doesnt have enough already. its not very high. But its similar to a soda.

***Just to clarify for those that may not know this already. This shake is very filling. I expected this and it could be a good thing for some people but for someone who plans on taking this in conjunction with a meal, they may find it hard and feel very bloated after. Its recommended you eat normally and drink the shakes in between meals.

I will be buying this product again and I would recommend it to those who want to try a great tasting weight gainer. You may need to experiment with your own add in ingredients like peanut butter or flaxseed oil to add more calories to makeup for the massive scoop size if you decide to half the serving size. All in all its a great product. I only wish they would have clarified how massive the serving size is a little more.

Se mezcla bien en batidora y mucho mejor en caliente o templado que en frío, mejor preparar el batido primero y enfriar o añadir hielo después.

Mi valoración es de 5 ESTRELLAS ( * * * * * ) . En relación a los Servicios (dosis completas) que aporta cada tarro me parece un producto caro para la mayoría de las economías, pero sin duda la calidad está por encima de muchos otros productos de la misma gama .

I originally tried it with water and seemed to have over diluted it and it didn't taste the best because obviously it was water, so I would recommend it with milk despite the creatine content especially for bulking. As for the portion size, it doesn't seem as though you're getting a lot for your money especially when you think about the size of the tub and the price you're paying as you only get 8 full servings, but the tub is full and can probably last you a while on a balanced intake. This also makes it cheaper when comparing to some other protein drinks.

J'ai récemment essayé Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass et je suis extrêmement satisfait des résultats obtenus. Ce supplément est vraiment efficace pour ceux qui cherchent à prendre de la masse musculaire de manière saine.

Tout d'abord, la composition de Serious Mass est impressionnante. Il contient une quantité généreuse de calories provenant de sources de qualité, ce qui est essentiel pour soutenir la croissance musculaire. De plus, la teneur élevée en protéines contribue à la réparation et à la construction musculaire. J'ai remarqué une nette amélioration de ma force et de ma masse musculaire depuis que j'ai commencé à prendre ce supplément.

La facilité d'utilisation est un autre point fort de Serious Mass. La poudre se mélange facilement avec de l'eau ou du lait, ce qui permet de préparer rapidement une boisson savoureuse et nutritive. De plus, le goût est vraiment agréable, ce qui rend la consommation du produit plus plaisante.

Ce que j'apprécie également, c'est la qualité de la marque Optimum Nutrition. Ils sont réputés pour leurs produits de haute qualité et Serious Mass ne fait pas exception. Je me sens en confiance en utilisant ce supplément, sachant qu'il est fabriqué par une entreprise fiable et respectée.

En conclusion, je recommande vivement Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass à ceux qui cherchent à prendre de la masse musculaire de manière saine et contrôlée. Avec sa composition de qualité, sa facilité d'utilisation et les résultats positifs que j'ai observés, ce supplément est un excellent choix pour atteindre ses objectifs de prise de masse.
