Should I take mass gainer before or after workout for optimal results? - #22057

Lillian

I am really confused about when to take my mass gainer. I’ve been hitting the gym pretty hard lately and it's like my body just isn’t responding the way i thought it would. I’ve read tons of stuff online, but u can't seem to figure out what's actually best — mass gainer before or after workout? Lately, my schedule’s been a mess too. Some days I hit the gym early in the morning and with other days, it's in the evening. I tried taking the mass gainer before, but then i feel kinda sluggish and don't have the energy to push through my sets. Other times, I'll do it after, and while that's better for my hunger, I'm worried I'm missing out on muscle gains or something. Also, I do notice when I skip it, I don’t feel as full post workout, so it’s like a catch 22! I talked to my trainer, but he was kinda vague, saying it just depends on the person. But what if I’m doing it wrong? Shouldn’t there be a clear answer? Like, is there science backing up one way over another? I want to maximize gains, duh! But I don't know, should I just keep experimenting? I am kinda stressed about it because I've seen some amazing results from others, and it feels like I'm not getting there fast enough. Anyone else been in the same boat? What have u found works best for you and when do you think is the prime time for mass gainer before or after workout? Help me out, pls!
