| Question 2: If most of the carboydrates in this product come from the Maltodextrin and sugars in it, wouldn't it be unhealthy (and increase risk of diabetes) if consuming 2 x 60gram serves of this powder per day, as recommended on the instructions on the back of the container? |
(Posted: 23rd March, 2007) |
| Answer: Absolutely not. Protein slows down the release of products into the bloodstream. also each 60gram serve contains 12grams of sugars, it is doubtful that the body would release insulin for this amount of sugar when it is combined with protein. |

| Question 3: Im not going to a gym and muscle building yet so can i take weight gainer before or should i be training whilst on it? |
(Posted: 26th April, 2007) |
| Answer: Yes you can use this outside of gym training. We have many tradesmen, carpenters and people with other physically demanding jobs that use this product to maintain and build muscle. However best results are always seen when combined with weight training. |

| Question 4: I currently do weight training or resistance training and have protien powder for muscle gain. But i find it extreemly hard to gain weight and muscle mass, a few people told me to try and gain some weight before i start resistance training? is this correct? what are my best options? |
(Posted: 11th May, 2007) |
| Answer: NO. Start your weights and eat like crazy. You need to use a good bulking powder like the Musashi Bulk, Syn-Tec Maximus, Horleys Awesome Mass or Universal Real Gains. You need to take in large amounts of calories everyday in order for your body to use the carbs & fats as your fuel source for energy and not the protein in your diet. This way the protein will be used for muscle growth and not wasted as a source of energy. You need to eat all day long things like banana & peanut butter sandwiches. Give me a call on 1800 111 445 and i will give you a hand with your diet. |

| Question 6: My son in 17yrs 175cm 68kg he training top level AFL 4 cardio pw and 3 weight session pw. I have started him on bulk and also hmb and creatine monohydrate. He is not a good eater. Are these alright to use together or could you suggest something else? |
(Posted: 4th Dec, 2007) |
| Answer: This sounds like a good stack for your son. Outside this food is the only area where he can improve. Once he hits 18, I highly recommend Powefull. It is a test booster and will really pack the muscle on with a high protein diet. |

| Question 7: Do i get the same benefit if a take this supplement on water? Would I get the same ratio of carbs to protien as i would normally having it on milk? |
(Posted: 6th Dec, 2007) |
| Answer: Yes...but with less calories from the milk. Either way is fine. taking it on water may increase the uptake of the protein and carbs as casein may slow absorption. However if you fins weight gain hard...use it on milk. |

| Question 8: This wouldn't be as effective as Syn-Tec Maximus would it? |
(Posted: 14th April, 2008) |
Answer: Hi
Two different products in Syn-tec Maximus you get more added ingredients eg free form amino acids added, AAKG, MCT oils added creatine etc. and its also a bit different in the % of total carbohydrate and protein and serving size. both of the products are good and are popular,
But if you feel like you want to change to try something different bulk 2.5 kg is a good product and are popular. (its a product that i call you get what you pay for)
The proof is in the pudding.
Good luck!! |

| Question 9: My name is Scott and I am 30 years of age and nearly two metre's tall. I find it difficult to put on any bulk or muscle, mi mates call me tall and lanky. Can this product assist with bulking up in conjunction with a weight training regime . Also can I stack a creatine product with Bulk? If so which is a good creatine to stack with? |
(Posted: 22nd April, 2008) |
Answer: Yes, this product would work well. It is very cost effective which helps when consistent supply is required.
Creabolan or Musashi Creatine Recovery Stack would be a great product to use with Bulk to maximise gains. |

| Question 10: Just a quick question, why is musashi bulk relatively cheap in comparison to other mass gainers? |
(Posted: 2nd May, 2008) |
| Answer: Its a loss leader for Musashi and we work on a lower margin on this product. For once price does not reflect quality. |

| Question 11: Hi mate im 23 years old and a bit of a hard gainer and was wondering if you could suggest some products to stack with the bulk that would give good results thanks? |
(Posted: 28th July, 2008) |
Answer: Hi
i would recommend a pure creatine mono hydrate, and a test booster the will both help get really good results
1) as a creatine based product i would get creatine monohydrate from syn-tec and 2) as a test-booster i would recommend protoboland, andro jack, or power full.
Good luck!! |

| Question 12: Hey, the musashi bulk twin pack, is this 2 x 2.5 containers that makes 5 kg or 2 containers that make up 2.5 kg. And does it taste ok,? |
(Posted: 19th Sept, 2008) |
Answer: It makes 5kg (that is 2 x 2.5kg tubs) and you can split the flavour if you wish.
Yes the taste is good...its a thick protein shake if that helps. Many people use an extra 100mls of water or use 3 scoops instead of 4. |

| Question 16: Hi I am 25 and about 170cm but weigh only 55kg. I have been working out for close to a year (4 days a week) with results that nearly disappear right after a shower. I have noticed dramatic gains in strength but my muscles dont seem to look much bigger. Is Musashi Bulk a good product to gain weight and mass? Horleys sounds great but is it worth the extra money as it is significantly more expensive. Thanks!? |
(Posted: 28th Nov, 2008) |
| Answer: The Bulk is a good product, the Horleys Awesome Mass is a better quality product. If you have the money the Horleys is worth it for sure. To gain make sure you are have plently of protein (2grm per kg of bodyweight) and carbs (4grms per kg of bodyweight). Once you have your daily protein and carb totals divide that by 6 so then every meal should be that amount of protein and carbs. Relvalute that every 3 weeks. |

| Question 17: Any idea how long before recreate is back in stock? |
(Posted: 22nd Oct, 2009) |
Answer: Hi Adrian,
USP Labs are currently going through the licensing process with all of their products, so we don't have an exact eta sorry. Hopefully it will be within the next two months but we can't say for sure.
If you are looking for another thermogenic, our most popular sellers are Thermalene Extreme by Syn-Tec, PyrogenX by Horleys or Hydroxycut Hardcore.
Thanks |

| Question 18: Can hydroxycut max be used with fat stop capsules? |
(Posted: 28th Oct, 2009) |
Answer: HI - it can but you are probably just wasting your money as they are both designed to do the same thing. Which in turn doesnt mean you will those "more". If you are wanting to lose body fat and already have the fat stop we would recommend stacking the D-toxilean or Acetyl L-carnitine as thats what we all do here for a great fat loss combo.
Hope this helps... |

| Question 19: Can A-bomb,T-bomb,Leukic,Gakic, Hydrocycut be taken all together? |
(Posted: 2nd Dec, 2009) |
| Answer: Hi. It is fine for these products to be taken together. A-Bomb and Leukic are both Anabolic activators. So I wouldn’t double up on this supplement. It would be fine to take T-Bomb, A-Bomb, Gakic and Hydroxycut together. Hydroxycut is a thermogenic, so as long as your water intake is kept up it should be fine. |

| Answer: Hi- Yes it is fine for you to start on these supplements. You do not need to wait but if you feel you need a break do so. |
