iSatori Hyper-Gro // Let the GAINZ GRO!

[alecbreazeale]

I would like to thank KoHuskie‎ and iSatori for sending my a tub of their new mass gainer Hyper-Gro

I will be logging Hyper-Gro over the next 10-15 days and will be logging my workouts and thoughts on the effects of Hyper-Gro. I will be Looking for any increase in strength, muscle mass, weight, endurance, stamina, energy, and recovery.

This will actually be the first Mass Gainer I have ever used.



About Me -- I'm 21 years old, I've been lifting for about 5 years, and I'm playing D3 Basketball at the collegiate level which is the reason for most of my training as well as motivation to keep pursuing my goals.

I will be lifting 3-4 days a week as well as cardio (mostly running/jogging) 2-3 days a week as well. I won't be tracking to much of my BBall practices or drills but I am interested to see if I notice a difference in my game while using Hyper-Gro.

My lifting routine is currently (Bi/Back, Chest/Tri, Shoulder/Lats, Legs) and I like to do at least 1 ab routine per lift day.













Here is some information from iSatori about Hyper-Gro - http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/is...hyper-gro.html











Thanks for joining, feel free to sub and or post with support, advice, questions, or anything lol

First Shake - 1 scoop with about 10oz of water







Taste - 8/10

It's pretty good, kind of like your standard chocolate. Good but not great.

Mixes well, no strange aftertaste or chalkiness!

[BubsNBean]

I like that you put up pics, adds a bit to the log that words just can't do.

[ucsumma]

Glad the first impression was a good one!

[HARRYBEAST]

Thanks, and I'm usually more of a chocolate guy but it really depends.

10oz of Whole Milk with 1 scoop





Taste - 8.5/10

I liked the taste better, much thicker and creamier. Slightly less chocolatey, more like a milkshake. I think this chocolate flavor reminds me a little of hot coco.

[BubsNBean]

Oooh, mixed with whole milk I bet it's SO TASTY!

I know what I'm going to do with mine - warm sludge with marshmallows on top

Initial Thoughts

Hyper-Gro tastes fairly good, which is a plus!

Protein sources - 5-Phase Instantized Protein Blend (Beef Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate, Micellar Casein, Egg Albumin). This is my first Beef Protein, nice to see it is an isolate, the beef protein is probably the the reason for the slightly different taste.

Carb sources - Clean Muscle-Infusing Carbohydrate Complex (Highly Branched Starch [Amylopectin], Cluster Dextrin, Potato Starch). Looks good to me


Hyper-Gro also includes

Creatine Monohydrate 2,500mg *
Bio-Gro™ Bio-Active Peptides 1,500mg *
Extracted from Mico-Concentrated Colostrum, Yielding: Proline Rich Peptides, Growth Factors, Immunoglobulins, Lactoferrin, Fibroblast-GF
Betaine Anhydrous 1,250mg *
Creatine HCL 500mg


I would rather have no creatine as I supplement bulk mono anyways. 1.25g of Betanine is nice! The other big addition is the Bio-Gro™ Bio-Active Peptides!


My only issues so far are the amino acid profile shows added glycine and alanine. And is the added creatine also taken into account...

Just curious as to why you see those as negatives?

Love the detail in here!

Enjoying Hyper-Gro thus far, definitely helping me get those extra quality calories. My only issues lay with amino spiking.

[BubsNBean]

Also love the details! I guess the good thing about the extra aminos is that they don't hurt if they're in excess. So even if you don't need them necessarily it's not going to negatively impact your body.

Day 4
Lower Body

Squats (135x10, 175x5, 225x5)
Deadlifts (135x10, 225x5, 315x3)
Leg Curl (150x12, 150x10, 150x8)
Leg Ext (200x10, 200x8, 200x7)
Calve Raise (90x15, 110x12, 110x12)



Really liking Hyer-Gro so far. I've been using 1 HEAPING (probably 1.25 scoops) with 8-10oz of whole milk. Tastes great and really helping me get those extra quality calories.

The shake is quite filling though, but it passes quickly. Meaning I feel full for a good hour or so then ready to eat again, which is a good thing when trying to bulk!!!

Weighed myself today twice, average - 173.7 (Will be using this as my starting weight)

Nice leg session there!

Seems like a lot of people mix it in with whole milk and it's like a milk shake. I wish I liked milk!

Checked with the higher-ups - while the aminos are included in the ingredient list, they are NOT included in the protein count.

25g of protein is 100% protein.

I came in to clarify this as well!!

OP- my original response was a bit of an ignorant response, so I apologize for that. I'm the newest iSatori rep, so I'm still learning

Loving Hyper-Gro with whole milk, super creamy and the extra calories make it even better

I've noticed that I don't get super hungry later in the day if I take my shake in the morning, which is a good thing!

[ucsumma]

Quality upper-body session.

All great exercises with very little "fluff".

[BubsNBean]

Strong upper day! Love the weighted pull ups!

Thanks guys!

With my current basketball schedule I only have limited time and energy, so I like to just get in there and get it done!

I have to be a little cautious of going "to hard" as soreness, DOMS, and muscle recovery all effect my bball game!

Totally understandable. Get in, get it done, get out.
