Mass Gain Bundle

Putting on weight when you do not put it on easily is not a question of willpower: it is a question of calories that actually go in. This mass gain bundle brings together the three products we most often recommend at the counter to people who already eat a lot and still stall on the scales: a dense gainer, creatine monohydrate and a carbohydrate source to add to meals.

What is in the bundle

• Mutant Mass — the gainer. 1,100 kcal, 56 g of protein and 192 g of carbohydrate per 280 g serving. It is the equivalent of a full meal in a shaker, for the days when appetite does not keep up.
• IO Genix Creatine Monohydrate — 3,000 mg per 3 g serving, 100 servings per tub, unflavoured with no additives. It is the most studied supplement in all of sports nutrition.
• IO Genix Cream of Rice — fine steam-precooked cream of rice, ready in a minute, hot or cold. Complex carbohydrates to add to breakfast or after the session without having to cook.

You choose the flavour of each product above. The bundle sells for €79.90 instead of €87.75 if you buy the three separately.

Why these three products together?

Because they do different jobs. The gainer supplies the calorie surplus; without a surplus, no mass gain is possible, whatever the training. Creatine works on something else: it contributes to improved performance during successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise — in other words it helps you do one or two more reps, session after session. And the cream of rice is there to build calories out of real meals, not only out of shakers.

Which protein should you choose for mass gain?

The question comes up all the time, and the answer depends mostly on your appetite. If you struggle to finish your plates, a gainer like Mutant Mass is more effective than a whey: it brings carbohydrate as well as protein. If you already eat properly and are only short on protein, a whey is enough and costs less per gram. Come by the shop, we will look at your typical days together and settle it in five minutes.

Mass gain or lean mass gain?

A so-called lean mass gain is simply a more moderate calorie surplus: you gain more slowly, but you gain less fat. The same bundle works, dosing the gainer at half a serving instead of a full one. It is often the best compromise when you are in no hurry.

And if you are an ectomorph?

The term simply describes very lean people who burn a lot at rest. The principle does not change, only the amount does: it often takes two gainer servings a day rather than one, and it means accepting that progress is measured in months, not weeks. One kilo a month is a realistic and sustainable pace.

How to use the bundle day to day

• Gainer: one serving between two meals, or just after training. In milk if you digest it well, in water otherwise.
• Creatine: 3 g a day, every day, including rest days. The timing does not matter.
• Cream of rice: at breakfast or as a snack, with milk, a little nut butter or a piece of fruit.

These three products are foods, not medicines. They are consumed as part of a varied diet and do not replace meals.
