FAQ
How do I know which protein to buy?
This all depends on what your goals are at that period of time and what your body type is, if you plan on increasing your volume/size as much as possible. Then you should look at products like Redbak Mass XXXL combining with Redbak Carb Up & Testovenom during a workout.
If your goal is to lose some weight and lean up, you should look at products such as Redbak Sting and combine this with our Redbak Nitric Bite & Fat Burner.
At Redbak we use a number of logos to help the buyer find what supplement is right for them, with all the logos located on the box you can easily find the right supplement for you.
When should I take my protein shake?
The best time to make the most of your protein shake compared to food is around 45 minutes before training and around 30 minutes after training. If you are looking to lose a bit of weight, usually we suggest waiting a little longer than 30 minutes.
Other times you can look at taking it are between meals & before bed, by doing this it will help with lean muscle gain, fat loss and your daily nutritional requirements.
How much Carbohydrate should I consume to gain muscle?
In order to gain muscle, you're going to have to supply your body with more energy than it needs just to sustain itself so that it has extra energy to put forth to building new muscle mass tissue.
Since carbohydrates are the preferred source of fuel by the working muscle tissues, it only makes sense to eat more carbohydrates, rather than getting the extra calories from protein or fat (although some do prefer fat, however this is an entirely different diet approach).
It's a good idea to aim for at least 1.5 to two grams of carbs per pound of body weight; however this can easily be raised up to three or four depending on your calorie needs. For those of you who have an extremely fast metabolism, you're likely going to find that you simply require huge amounts of carbs if you hope to achieve the calorie target you're aiming for.
How do I get a Flat Stomach?
Getting a flat stomach isn't easy, but it's certainly something worth working for. There's nothing sexier than a flat stomach.
In order to get the flat stomach and abs you've always wanted, you have to take simultaneous action in a number of routes:
1. Nutrition - You need to watch what you eat. Reduce useless calories and invest in high quality calories. Avoid processed food, artificial sweeteners, sweetened beverages, and lollies. Make sure to eat vegetables, fruit, dietary fibre rich foods and complex carbs.
2. Stomach exercises - Invest some time and effort in stomach focused and core exercises, but make sure not to get stuck in low or medium intensity exercises. There's no point in doing hundreds of crunches. There are other exercises which will increase your heart rate in under a minute.
3. Do complete and high intensity workouts - Don't settle for just stomach exercises. Make sure to do complete body workouts and make them count. Too many people finishing their weight routines without even breaking a sweat. If you want results, make sure that your time at the gym is 100% dedicated to getting fitter and leaner.
4. Do complex cardiovascular workouts - You should alternate between regular cardiovascular routines and interval cardiovascular workouts. While regular cardiovascular routines get you in better aerobic shape, interval training can cut into your stubborn fat deposits and get you leaner fast.
5. Quality supplementation will also help you get the flat stomach and hard abs you’ve always wanted. In the Redbak range we stock a number of high quality weight loss supplements to rip you up.
