Gaspari Myofusion Review

Gaspari Myofusion



Over the past few years I have had plenty of supplements from Gaspari and would rate all of their products very highly. It wasn’t until this year though that I tried their Myofusion, it was easy to mix and was one of the nicest protein powders I had tasted.


So I decided to buy a tub of Myofusion Hydro which is the latest version of the original Myofusion. This one contains micro filtered Whey Protein Concentrate and Isolate, Egg Albumen, Milk Protein Isolate and whey hydrolysed so can be used before bed as well as post workout. The taste is unreal, one of the best I have tasted especially when mixed with my oats in the morning and pre-workout. At the moment I have been having one and a half scoops post workout mixed with some glutamine and maltodextrin, and in between meals I have been having oats and whey (1 scoop).
  


What Gaspari say…..


When it comes to the REAL nutritional needs of bodybuilders and athletes alike, there is little doubt what “legitimate” science has to say about the different protein sources available in the supplement marketplace. Unfortunately, this has little to do with the marketing message spread by most sellers of protein supplements today. The competition between companies is fierce and the drive to sell more protein by differentiating a product by any means necessary (whether it's legitimate science or not) is prevalent to say the least. Supplements with numerous “multi-time released” proteins are everywhere, boasting absorption so slow that amino acid levels remain peak in the bloodstream for anywhere from 5 to 13 hours. Some true, most... well, not. But let's say its all true every bit of it. Good news if you are a couch potato, don't eat frequently enough, and only go to the gym occasionally, you may be in luck! One of these products might just sustain amino acid levels in your blood long enough for you to get up off your butt every 5 to 13 hours and eat. I wish we could play that game, but we can't. Last we checked the typical hardcore, educated athlete using Gaspari Nutrition products is on a 2.5 to 3 hour interval meal schedule, and for this reason the New MyoFusion delivers only the highest and most legitimately bioavailable proteins in existance - hard and fast!

If you want to try before you buy head over to one of the Expos next year because Gaspari stands are always good and give out plenty of samples. You will be able to pick the brains of some of their sponsored athletes like James Lewis or Neil Hill.

2nd Article on Monster Supplements

Exercise of the Month: Barbell Bent Over Row

Introduction:

The bent over barbell row is a great back exercise that has many so many different ways to do it. I’m sure you would have seen many people do this exercise but with many different styles and grip positions. The most important thing to remember is to keep a neutral spine through out the exercise while limiting any swinging as best you can. Other than that you can have your back in any angle you want and pull the bar anywhere from your chest to hips. This is the main reason why I love this exercise because you can hit your back in so many different angles and your core muscles work overtime by holding your posture correctly.


 How to do it…..


Grasp a loaded bar with what every grip you like, the three main grips you can choose from are double under hand, close over hand or wide overhand. Each of these will slightly work your back differently so keep this in mind when doing multiple sets.


After you have chosen your grip you will then stand up with the bar against your thighs and bend your knees slightly. You will then bend from your hips to whatever angle you choose all the way until 90 degrees. The less you bend forward from the hips the easier the exercise will be as and it will put less pressure on your lower back. If your only bending forward slightly I would suggest you use your thighs as a guide and pull the bar from knee to hip, but if you go any lower you can pull anywhere up to your chest again depending how far forward you go.

After you have chosen your preferred position you can then begin the exercise by pulling the bar towards your body, pausing and squeezing your shoulder blades together before slowly lowering back to the start. It’s very important you squeeze your back together rather than just to pull the weight up and down so that you can maximise your contractions.
