- Directions
- Directions for muscle maker: Add two heaping scoops of Muscle Maker to a blender filled with 24 oz (710 mL) of cold water. As an option, you may add 2-3 ice cubes if desired. Blend for 10-15 seconds. Drink one or more servings per day. Muscle Maker also mixes perfectly in a shaker cup, though the size of the cup (avg. 20oz) will determine how large a serving you may mix. For best results, use Muscle Maker as part of an intense weight training regimen (4-5 times per week) with an appropriate diet plan
- Ingredient Options: Add additional calories to your Muscle Maker shake by mixing two scoops of Muscle Maker with 24 oz (710 mL) of nonfat or low fat milk instead of water. You may also add other nutrient dense ingredients such as fruit, fruit juice, nut butters such as peanut, almond or cashew, etc. Serving Options: Depending on your individual nutritional needs, you may choose to begin with half of a serving (1 scoop) per day for the first week and then gradually increase to one or more full servings per day. Because of its highly dense nutrient profile, some athletes may choose to only consume half of a serving (1 scoop) of Muscle maker at any given time multiple times per day. Options for when to take Muscle Maker: Between Meals Drink 1/2-1 serving of Muscle Maker between meals to maintain positive nitrogen balance and support a high-calorie diet. Pre Workout For an incredible full muscle pump experience, consume 1/2 to 1 serving of Muscle maker 30-60 minutes prior to weight training. Post Workout To support maximum muscle recovery, drink 1/2-1 serving of Muscle Maker 30-45 minutes after training. Before Bed To supply critical nutrients for positive nitrogen balance and muscle recovery throughout the night, drink 1/2-1 serving of Muscle Maker about 45-60 minutes before bed.
