Best Overall Weight Gainer?

[Lagz]

I'll have to try to remember to look on the scooper to see if it says. It's a pretty big scoop, but it seems less than the four scoops of cyto-gainer if my memory serves right.

Yeah what turned me away from it was the really high number of carbs...but better high carbs than high fats (unless you don't take your gainer pwo)

Muscle Juice has 18 grams of fat (9 grams since I mix 2 scoops for one shake) either way that's a a high number of fats pwo imo

I like Muscle Juice but it's definitely not something I'll be taking for a long time...Maybe I'll do this tub and another, but I won't go further than that (unless my gains are really good from 2 tubs)

WeightGainer: N Large2 by Prolab

Mega WeightGainer: Mutant Mass by PVL

WeightGainer: N Large2 by Prolab

Mega WeightGainer: Mutant Mass by PVL

I've tried PVL's Mutant Mass...didn't like it, didn't gain much weight...5 lbs I think...not that bad because ny diet was very lean (my bulking diet was pretty clean, that's why the fat gain was low)

If I was on the bulk I am on now, the fat gain would have been higher and probobly would have seen better results...

This looks more like an protein powder with much more protein...You sure this is a gainer? 5 grams of carbs, 2 grams of fats, dude this isn't a gainer...not saying you can't gain weight with it though, because you can gain with anything with a good diet...

This reminds me of On Pro Complex (not the gainer one), high protein, low in eveverything else...

I'm still on my GNC Mass XXX tub, for anyone thinking about getting some here is what I use. 18-19oz of whole milk, 1 scoop of the powder, 2 tablespoons flax seeds. 1/2 cup of oats, 2/3 cup almonds. It really fills me up and tastes really damn good.

Cytogainer Malt Chocolate is the best, but I had to settle for cookies-n-creme last time because Malt Chocolate was out and its ok just doesn't mix as well in my opinion...

[OdIN_]

How come no one mentioned 'Mega Mass 4000'? is it a good weight gainer?

[mrkuwait]

did anyone try:

MuscleTech Presents: Mass Tech

how is it ?

I been thinking of adding true-mass as part of my new soon to be stack. I just hope that true mass helps put on some muscle and not fat.

know that means "pre workout" or "post workout" ?????

Im thinking about picking up a tub of cytogainer. I have been taking ON 100% whey for a while now, so i was wondering if its alright to cut the ON whey out of my diet and substitute it with the cytogainer? What are the most efficient time sto take it? Obviously after the workout, but what other time of day is good?

Back to gainers...My parents picked me up a second tub of Muscle Juice for xmas. So far I really like Muscle Juice...

After I going threw my current tub and the tub I am getting for xmas, I am going with true mass until I hit 190lbs

As far as gainers go I am you're average ectomorph and it works considerably well... i've lost body fat while putting on a solid 5lbs.

and then again you could be right and maybe it is just the diet.


before I tried this i also took Xyience: XGainer which worked very well also

Gainers don't make you gain the weight, they really do help you, especially when your an active and busy guy...

I am taking Muscle Juice and love it, going to take this tub, then another, and the way it's going maybe a third, then True Mass until I hit 190-200lbs...then cut down to an average 10-13 percent body fat

[MasterNeita]

you seem to be extremely happy with muscle juice.... how does that compare to your average gainer

[ezrollin]

I take ultimate nutritions muscle juice 2544... its got a buttload of sugar :(

[Blue Blazer]

I really like it, it is not good quality but that's not what I was looking for in a gainer...I just wanted something big that with help me gain weight at a quick paste...

It is high in sugar and in cholesterol, but I eat clean, am active and well at 16 these aren't things to stress over...besides I won't be taking Muscle Juice very long, short term thing...

Overall I like it...JM

Have you ever used truemass before?

[Blue Blazer]

Have you ever used truemass before?

Nope, but I've heard alot of good things about it and one of the reasons I like it is because of the high content of fats, something you don't get with cytogainer without adding peanut butter or nuts or whatever

I also like the fact it doesn't contain so much protein, I like this because I have no problems getting protein anywhere else

So by taking 2 servings a day, I get 90 grams of protein, if I took 2 servings of cyto, I'd be getting 108

Sure I could take 6 scoops instead of 8, but I've tried cyto and it was great, I had good gains, but True Mass has caught my eye and I want to give it a shot

whoa, i just checked it out. 18g of sat fat?!? That's waaaay too much imo. on a 3,000 cal. diet, that over half of your daily need of it. count me out, ill stay away from that

-VH

Yep, but I only take one serving a day...so it gives me a total of 18 grams of fats and 18 of saturated...Plus like I've said many times, I eat pretty damn clean during the day and live an active lifestyle, lots of sports and cardio...

How old are you? I see your like 121lbs and 5'7....Are you my age? If you are I honestly wouldn't worry about it...keep this in mind, muscle juice is not something you take for 5 months or for a lifetime, it's short term...

I won't be taking muscle juice for any more than 2-3 months, only been taking it for 2 weeks now...going to go through 3 tubs of the stuff then go with something a little cleaner and healthier

Edit: Oh yeah forgot to mention this, you do know saturated fats is anabolic right, so if you eat clean and get in 18 grams of sat fats during the day, I think it wouldn't be a bad thing, like I said muscle juice is not long term...it's a shot term thing

let me start off by saying my stats are not updated. im 15 btw

on my diet i get around 35-40g sat fat (lot of milk) so i would not like to add another 18, thats way too much imo since i only eat 3000-3500 cals a day. but yes some sat. fat is good for you, but too much is bad

with Ultimate Nutritions Muscle Juice the regular serving size is over 1000 calories. Yes, I've been fighting off the fat it has given me for a LONG time and its not going away anytime soon.

for a skinny kid, sure, why not? its cheap.
but definately not long term like was already said
because it will make you morbidly obeese.

I highly doubt you became obese by taking 2 tubs lol...Gainers don't make you gain mass or fat...your diet does...that's why you have to select a gainer best for you and your needs

For me Muscle Juice is perfect...for the guys who don't play any team sports and do very little cardio and just sit around waiting to get fat, well that's their problem...remember this: Alot of guys get away with eating loads of crap all day yet they lift hard and play sports and do lots of cardio and don't gain a whole lot of fat...

There's so many ways to diet and so many things you can do and so many things you can chose not to do..

I like Muscle Juice and I am sticking to it until I go through 3 tubs, then True Mass until I hit 190-200lbs

Then cutting time

Muscle Juice FTW!

220lbs is my main goal...but you realise I can't bulk until I hit 220, too long of a bulk, I'd gain too much fat...and trying to cut that fat off would be tough and I would cut off muscle as well lol

Bulk until I hit 190, then cut, then bulk til I hit 200 or so...do this until I can finally be a lean 220...this is going to be long lol...couple of years I assume

I am hoping to hit 220 at a low bfp (10-13 percent) by the time I am 20years old

Muscle Juice FTW lol

Hell if I were you I'd give Real Gains a try, you're 18 so this would be a good time...

I wouldn't go with N Large 2 though, a girl I know who is a nutritionist and the owner of the supps store (I know her well, honest salesman), she said she doesn't think N Large 2 is that good of a gainer

Then again she told me she didn't like Muscle Juice and was only carrying it because it was on demand, but the reason she doesn't like it is because it contains more whey concentrate than anything else...

I usally take her advice, except on Muscle Juice, she may not like it, but she thinks I could have good gains with it..

what u mean im 18.. lol what if i was 16 like u? is muscle juice good? and is it easy to go down? cuz i have a problem with gainers being too thick and ****. like i tried serious mass but i had to sell it to my friend cuz i couldnt drink it (334gr in 2 heaping scoops).

[BigBiceps6089]

is there a way i could return the mass-tech if i dont like it or something. my brother told me hed use half of a tub and just return it and say something like it makes me **** every time i take it can i exchange it? has any1 done this b4?

They do not recommend Real Gains unless your 18 and older...that's why I mentioned you being 18...muscle juice goes down real well because of the sugar lol, no bloat, no stomach aches or anything lol...I am quite impressed with Muscle Juice


is there a way i could return the mass-tech if i dont like it or something. my brother told me hed use half of a tub and just return it and say something like it makes me **** every time i take it can i exchange it? has any1 done this b4?

Well if you bought it at GNC they have a 30 day return policy or something like that, as for other stores, I don't know...best of luck with that though


Yes it is.

x2, just organize how your taking everything though, make sure it's on key with your diet...I would take the whey post workout, maybe one scoop with a meal

And cyto maybe 1 to 1.5 servings during the day...

Servings will vary on your size, goals and diet..so do your homework lol...best of luck

[damnimclean]

Do you guys take your gainers on days you don't work out? And if you do, do you take half servings or full servings? I workout 3 days a week, and take a full serving each workout day, and take half servings on Saturday and Sunday. And I've heard some people on here saying that they use a serving of gainer to replace one of their meals.. I would think that would be a bad idea.. do some of you people actually do that?


btw, I take Real Gains... it has one of the most cleanest looking profiles I have seen for a gainer and its pretty cheap compared to others. Plus it has a good taste. Definitely recommend it over Muscle Juice. And just because it says only take if you are 18 doesn't mean ****.. its the same as any other gainer but without all the sugars, unwanted fats, and has more complex carbs. A+ in my book.

edit: I just looked on the label and it doesn't even say anything about being 18

I've been told this by many Universal Nutrition reps, they said they didn't recommend I take it at all...like alot of universal products they are designed for people over 18 containing products teenagers do not need at all in their systems, we also know universal makes alot of anabolic products meaning they are no stranger to anything anabolic, since this is the case, maybe Real Gains is a bit anabolic, I don't know, what I do know is people have told me not to take it

Also, I don't undertand why people take half servings on non workout days and full ones on workout days, I don't understand the reasoning in this...it's still a day and you still need food, when working out your body doesn't need extra protein, carbs, fats...everyday should have equal macros if you ask me

As far as the replacing meals thing goes, well that depends on your diet...I know instead of having a small meal at 10:30 am I take 2 scoops of Muscle Juice and at 3:30 pm I do the same...this will vary from person to person, because of their goals, diets, cardio being done, etc

i do that, i have my gainer 4x a week when i workout, and the other 3 days i make a homemade gainer with milk, whey, pb, and some other stuff. i do it mostly cause its cheaper - the gainer lasts longer and whey is cheaper than a gainer

Yes but your situation isn't like the what the otehr guy was asking...your doing this because of cash, he was asking if people take gainers on workout days and less on non and what not...the way I see it you should eat the same amount of cals every day...When you workout it's not like your body needs more protein, carbs and fats like if it was fuel lol..

No matter what day it is, I eat the same amount of cals...

You may think Muslce Juice is crap, but tell that to a friend of mine on this forum who gained 30lbs in 3 months with the help of Muscle Juice and some creatine monohydrate...lean gains as well, not 26lbs of fat and 4lbs of muscle...He told me if your serious about bulking, Muscle Juice is for you..

But I've noticed you are 27...at 27 you are definitely looking out for high sugar and cholesterol, so Muscle Juice probobly isn't for you...for me its alright, I am young and can take advantage of this...

For you the best gainer you could take is ON Pro Complex Gainer, Real Gains, CytoGainer or IsoGainer....Isopure also has a gainer, I checked it out, looks pretty solid...

Any of these would probobly be perfect for you..


Cytogainer

-VH

Don't forget Real Gains, Pro Complex Gainer and I think Isopure's gainer is pretty good as well...checked it out today, looks pretty solid

Oh yeah, how could I forget True Mass...this really looks like a solid gainer, I am definitely gonna give it a shot, as long as the BSN lawsuit doesn't bring up that all their products are garbage...cause as we know, there have been many threads saying CellMass contained no active ingredients, maybe they are lying about other products as well, like True Mass..hard to say though

Well I just bought Cytogainer chocolate mint thinking it would taste better then the one I had before which was Ultimate Nutrition ISO Mass Xtreme, boy was I wrong this stuff taste worst then **** and cat piss mixed together.

The normal choc malt is goooood. Choc. Mint I thought was pretty gross too. Take it back and tell em you threw up on it, and get the choc. malt.

[blank98]

You think they'll let me do that, i've already opened it. I baught it from GNC.

[pretecsh]

You think they'll let me do that, i've already opened it. I baught it from GNC.

Oh hell yeah. I used to manage a couple GNC's. As long as it's within 30days, they'll take it back. Anything GNC brand you have like 60 or 90 days (it's been awhile), and you don't even have to have the receipt!

But yeah, on non-GNC products, take the receipt back, if you opened it or not, and they'll give you money back. If you lost the receipt, they might let you swap it out. Try to go to the person that sold it to you tho if you lost the receipt. I know it's possible to return w/o a receipt, I've done it before.

Hope this helps.

Well since you got it from GNC, I would just bring it back and get another flavor, but dude seriously...

I've completely despised every gainer I've tried, did that make me stop drinking them after trying 1 serving? F*CK NO! If stopped eating all the stuff I didn't like, well I'd be one skinny s.o.b (not saying I am big now, but I'd be even smaller)

I've had some really bad gainers (Isogainer vanilla cinnamon comes to mind) AWFUL TASTE, nearly gagged every time I drank it...

I've had some really bad gainers (Isogainer vanilla cinnamon comes to mind) AWFUL TASTE, nearly gagged every time I drank it...

Just block your nose and chug em down...take it like a man, man lol

Yeah with my old gainer, which was also disgusting, I had to plug my nose and just down it in 20 secs. I would gag after and thinking of food made me sick. I'll try bringing it back but I don't think im ganna get another one, ganna have to stick with food.

[chanson]

cytogainer. Hmmm, Its ok just. Not the best in my opinion, but cheap for bulk phase and 98% lactose free.I could live off this stuff.

PREVAIL!!!

^^ how is Muscle juice working for ya, I was reading the label and it has a **** load of surger. I was ganna buy it over Cytogainer but read that it has over 50g of surger in each serving.

[Sportsfuel]

Not used a weight gainer for a while but the last one i did use was N-Large 2 and had some good gains with it will probably try Cyto-gainer next though as people speak highly of it.

The two "cleanest" are Cytogainer and Universal Real Gains. After taking a jug of Cytogainer i gained a clean 2lbs-3lbs. I'm currently half way through the Real Gains.

[Spartan2485]

Real gains by universal nutrition is the best hands down

[Spartan2485]

serious mass is alright but the scoop size is way too big
same with mass xxl by ABB the scoop size is 2-3 times bigger than normal thats how theyre so high in calories/carbs/protein

i just finished a 6 lb tub of chocolate malt cytogainer and it was soo good. when you mix it with milk its 860 cals and 62 grams of protien (including protien from the milk).

[Rique]

Man I had heavyweight gainer at my friends house yesterday and i gained 3lbs. I dont know how it works when you're on it but I just had like bagel and cream cheese for breakfast, lunch tuna fish sandwich, dinner ravioli and i gained like 3lbs and It didnt go away in morning

[Rique]

serious mass is alright but the scoop size is way too big
same with mass xxl by ABB the scoop size is 2-3 times bigger than normal thats how theyre so high in calories/carbs/protein

so which one do you think is the best with a normal scoop size? I think 2-3 scoops is decent and has a good taste like chocolate milk if you get chocolate one.

[Blue Blazer]

X2!!!...Best gainers out there guys :)...

I wouldn't say best gainers, definitely the cleanest gainers and the gainers that are better quality...

However, saying wether a gainer is the best or not is hard to say....because if we could just name the one we've had the best experience with well I would say Muscle Juice...but it doesn't work like that

Almost everyone here lives a somewhat different lifestyle, and have different diets, goals, etc...so depending on these things, this will determine wether the gainer is best FOR YOU...

there is no best gainer if you ask me...but there is definitely a best gainer for different lifestyles, sizes, ages, etc

But in general, if we determine which one is best by quality, well real gains, cytogainer, pro complex gainer, isopure's gainer are probobly the best

But for me a clean gainer wasn't the best...because I play alot of sports and eat very clean during the day...so really muscle juice was the best gainer I've taken, because it was very suitable imo for my lifestyle

BUT, I do not think Muscle Juice is something that should be taken long term, especially when an adult because of the sugars and cholesterol...

I am just taking this short term, first tub almost empty and I have a second one, then I think I'll take a 3rd one, then go try True Mass I think..

damn 102 is a lot the 30+ area of sugars pretty much taste as good as chocolate milk so there i sno reason to take 102g of sugar plus you'd probably have sugar twitches

do you guys take cytogainer post workout, or just between meals? i'm not sure how good an idea it would be to take a gainer shake right after lifting.

Joey Mo how much you gain so far with Muscle Juice? what flavor did you get and is it good?

Well I am liking it, gains so far were pretty good except the past few days of the bulk have been kind of ****ty, xmas around the corner, some buddies are back home from college and I also have exams these days so this has been f*cking up my eating habits a bit...BUT I have put on just about 5lbs while taking muscle juice (keeping in mind the gainer plays a secondary role and the actual eating makes a big difference, but the gainer is a very nice help)

You had better bet your ass that if I am gonna take in 102 g's of sugar I am gonna have a butterfinger blizzard with a protein shake on the side. I have never bought a weightgainer because I have just always made my own. Whey+Milk+PB+Banana+Oats. I think for convenience sake I am gonna get a tub of Cytogainer for when I don't have time to whip a shake up.

[arsilva]

i went on cytogainer last monday, and with my new workout program, gained 4lbs and added .25 inches to my arms in 6 days

[redsox03]

Real gains hands down. I liked Mega Mass 4000, but Ive gained 2 pounds already with half a tub of real gains.

[Rique]

Why should he take it before and after his workout...how does this benefit? I've heard this before, but have never tried it

you have to have a time frame like shake 45 min - hr before working then 1 like 45 min after your workout or right before you go to bed

it helps add more calories and protein in your diet keep in mind you will still need regular meals but if you have your regular meals + doing this you will add muscle faster

Ok cool, but this varies from diet to diet really...Like depending on how your day is and how your meals are divided and what not, because I am sure if 10 guys on a bulk compared their diets, there would be many differences as far as timing and what not goes, because we all live a different lifestyle

But that's a cool idea, I am going to give this a shot sometime to see how it works for me

Thanks

Yeah I mean meals are the most important day protein shakes are a good way to pack on calories throughout the day to maintain or add to your physique just keep in ind your diet is the most important thing. I try to eat a lot of steak and chicken as well because they are high in protein.

[CtotheT]

well, up your mass is pretty decent, but i also like good ole steak in patatas ^^


P.S. Protein actually builds muscle.

[melkilozano]

When you take a gainer, do you have to buy separate whey and take it too?

Or is a gainer sufficient as a single supplement?

Hope u guys can share info... thanks!

[ezrollin]

"gainers" come with protein, calories, carbs, sugar, and BCAAs
food > gainer

[Mickdizzle]

Is it ok to use a gainer as a mrp. I just bought some cytogainer and I was just looking for a mid afternoon meal when I am in a situation where this would be the most convenient thing?

[Blue Blazer]

I think everyone is aware that food is better than a gainer, a gainer isn't necessary really, BUT they can be a big help for some guys (me for one)

I benefit from gainers simply because I am a busy guy and live a very active lifestyle, so what better than to grab a tub, scoop out some powder, mix it with water, take off and drink it when needed or drink it right away...very convenient for me and anyone who needs some quick calories, so for some a gainer is great...

I think it will be a good mrp, BUT I think next time you should grab muscle milk collegiate or just the normal muscle milk, your call...

Because cytogainer has creatine in it, maybe this isn't something you really want in your meal, I don't know, but I imagine this is a possibility..

Best of luck...

Muscle Juice ftw - - - start=165, now=170!

Did anyone catch the new Flavor of Cytogainer?!...Its up on the site now, has anyone tried it yet?...Sounds damnn tasty :)

[PhillyMatt215]

gnc xxx gain worked for me

[mikecart1]

Prolab NLarge2 is the best IMO on the market right now. It has the best flavor, best price for protein and calories, and it definitely works. ON Mighty 3000 is also good but haven't seen it around anymore.

[Blue Blazer]

Prolab is not the best gainer out there, cytogainer and real gains beat prolab by a mile because they don't have 28 grams of sugar per serving

Sure I bet your thinking, yeah says the guy who's taking muscle juice which contains 60grams of sugar per serving, but for me sugar isn't much of a problem..

[WalterC15]

its hard to find a wiehgt gainer with a good overall taste in my opinion, but ive always liked cytogainer, ive seen nothing but good come out of it not only with me but with a lot of my friends

[cameron33]

i've tried cytogainer, it worked pretty well, tasted pretty good
i tried muscle tech's gainer, worst tasting thing on this planet
now im using N2 large, its decent
next im getting real gains, considering muscle juice or bsn.

i didnt think cytogainer strawberry tasted good at all but it was a good product. i picked up real gains strawberry it tastes so much better

[jeles90]

I agree real gains is the best gainer

[ezrollin]

hm... serious mass you say? I'll have to see its stats if you have them please

I did a comparison and Muscle Juice was the cheapest in $/calories, next was MASS XXX. I've had 2 buckets of Muscle Juice so I decided to go with the Mass XXX this time! woohoo

I will try to post the stats of all the gainers I saw at MY GNC.

Is Cell Tech even a gainer? does it even have protein? I wanted to give it a shot cause I know it works but it was like $80?

Serious mass has 1250 calories in 2 scoops not including milk, 50 gr of protein, and 250 gr of carbs. I drink 1 scoop at a time which is still a lot of calories. its only $20 at vitamin shoppe. All the others are way too expensive. Cyto gainer HA how much is it like $40?

[YasSouid]

First Post: Serious Mass-
Ingredients
Calories: 1250, Calories From Fat: 40, Total Fat: 4.5gm, Saturated Fat: 1.5gm, Cholesterol: 80mg, Total Carbohydrate: 252gm, Dietary Fiber: 4gm, Sugars: 20gm, Protein: 50gm, Vitamin A: 5000IU, Vitamin C: 60mg, Vitamin D: 200IU, Vitamin E: 30IU, Thiamin: 4.8mg, Riboflavin: 4mg, Niacin: 50mg, Vitamin B6: 5mg, Folic Acid: 400mcg, Vitamin B12: 10mcg, Biotin: 300mcg, Pantothenic Acid: 25mg, Calcium: 590mg, Iron: 8mg, Phosphorous: 430mg, Iodine: 190mcg, Magnesium: 140mg, Zinc: 15mg, Selenium: 70mcg

Thats one of your best bets, relatively low sugar, high calories, and good protein. Too high carb/protien ratio which can often be a problem for a lot of work outs. The substance itself is like glue. You got to blend it in a blender usually for it to resemble liquid. And the taste is mediocre at best. It is cheap though with 6lbs for 21 dollars. 12Lbs can run you as cheap as $32 (strawberry at the Vitamin Shoppe.)

Muscle Milk is probably a better bet for calcium, carbs. The price will run you more for things that you might not need but its often worth it if you really need amino acids for repair. Also due to a relatively low BV with some common ones you can often get longer effects rather than more rapid. This can possibly be a good thing or bad. Before going to bed taking some muscle milk would be much more beneficial than Serious Mass. The product will make you wake up much more anabolic.


Everyones body is so different that this thread can't accomplish much more than looking at ingredients and price. I have a friend who is insanely jacked and used regular protein supplements with medium/low calorie intake and just mixes it with some whole milk and a couple of eggs. Find what works and the most important thing is to stay healthy.

[FWCMuZiK]

I just ordered some Serious Mass it'll be here Friday:)

[Blue Blazer]

I think I am going to give Serious Mass a try, my first tub of muscle juice is almost empty and I have another to down...

After that I will try Serious Mass, I find it quite high in carbs though...I bet this would make an awesome pwo shake, since it's low in fats

I think I would do the same as Big Rich, take one scoop at a time, which is still alot of calories, and probobly just take 2 scoops a day...

So far Muscle Juice has been awesome, I recommend it

anybody know of a weight gainer that has a ton of calories and protein with minimal WITHOUT CREATINE???!!! its so hard to find one

[Mike26NYC]

Hey Everyone. After reading this thread I decided to get off my IsoPreme protein drink and try a weightgainer. I bought CytoGainer Chocolate. Luckily, I found 6 1/2 lbs for $39 and bought two jars of it. It's pretty expensive compared to the protein shakes I've used before since each jar only contains 18 servings and they recommend three servings a day.

I think the stuff is awesome. I can't speak as to the results, since I've only just started using it but the flavor is good and it mixes better than any powder shake I've ever tried.

The guy at the store gave me a sample of True-Mass which looks to have the same protein/carb content but with a lot more vitamins and minerals. Maybe I'll try it next.

Well I've been told by many guys not to make a huge deal out of it, because I am young and muscle juice is something you take on the short term

I agree with you 100 percent though, I wouldn't be caught dead buying a 3rd or 4th tub, that is just plain dumb...I took Muscle Juice because two guys who knew alot more than I did about it, recommended it

But Muscle Juice is something you take for a month or 2, no more...And to be honest I would probobly never take it again, because let's face it, it's not a clean and healthy gainer, and when I get around 18-20 years old, it's really time to watch out for dirty gainers like this, especially since both sides of my family shave heart problems (luckily no diabetes)

[ArmyBoots]

well here's a curve ball... i was taking cyto gainer and cell mass... i was gaining fairly well but my neck and cheeks looked like balloons! i mean im only 28 (to young to form a gobbler!) haha but seriously i looked ridiculous. my body looked better than ever but my face getting so fat detered me from my weight gain goal.....
so do you guys have any suggestions or other products maybe that i could try?
i quit all supplements after that except for muscle milk and i would rather not get back on a creatine. thank you guys in advance for your much needed help!!!!

I don't think creatine did it to be honest, I think it may have been the weight gain diet (bulking in other words)...that may have done it, I seriously doubt creatine would have done it, especially cell mass, maybe a creatine mono, but even then

To be quite honest with you, I despise the taste of about any gainer, Muscle Juice however was the easiest one to stomach (probobly due to the high amount of sugar)

I send you a p/m regarding your other questions

You used muscle juice for 1 full year? And at your age? All that cholesterol and sugar at your age? Dude you are a trooper lol

I wouldn't even dare take this at your age, too unhealthy, I'm only going to take 2 more tubs of it (total of 3) then I am done with it

But I agree though, the gains you get with it are excellent, 5lbs so far and for the holidays I've been on a break, bulk starts again the 7th

Not a year straight. Used some leaner gainers in between when I got bloated, but mostly Muscle Juice. Gotta take some time off after all. It got me from 185lbs to 214lbs at my heaviest. I've switched to leaner ones since. I'm using BSN True Mass now. Seems good. But for pure bulking, MJ beats them all!

Not a year straight. Used some leaner gainers in between when I got bloated, but mostly Muscle Juice. Gotta take some time off after all. It got me from 185lbs to 214lbs at my heaviest. I've switched to leaner ones since. I'm using BSN True Mass now. Seems good. But for pure bulking, MJ beats them all!

Good stuff, I've heard this from another guy as well..he said if your serious about gaining weight, muscle juice is the sh!t...

I was going to try True Mass, I like the fact that it is high in fats (unlike cytogainer) only has 45 grams of protein per serving (which is an ideal number for my diet imo) and the carbs are at a good number as well

I am going to stick with Muscle Juice, down my new tub, then another, then see if I want something leaner like True Mass if not I'll stick with Muscle Juice until I cut

Muscle Juice ftw

[YasSouid]

Hardly any Weight Gainers dont have creatine. The stuff is really bad for you. Someone above me said they didnt want Cytogainer because it didnt have fat. If you're trying to be healthy fat is usually a thing you want to stay away from- especially trans-fat and saturated stuff. Some of these weight gainers are just dirty stuff injected with chemicals that are packed with calories and protein then dehydrated into powder. The label might read friendly to you when looking at the nutrition facts, but some of this crap can be more dangerous that steroids. Do your research before plunging into tubs of anything you're planning on taking 3x a day.

Yeah sorry but this post was idiotic, let's start from the top:

1. "Hardly any Weight Gainers dont have creatine" Ok this is false, many gainers have no creatine in them what so ever, cytogainer is a popular gainer and a good one at that, but some guys don't like the idea of getting creatine in their gainer when they already supplement creatine

2. "Someone above me said they didnt want Cytogainer because it didnt have fat. If you're trying to be healthy fat is usually a thing you want to stay away from- especially trans-fat and saturated stuff." When bulking you need fat, fats are good. I am talking fats, not trans or sat. Trans is terrible. Sats however is good in moderation, saturated fats is proven to be anabolic, so if taken right, it is good. However if you are a jack@ss and don't know what your doing, well maybe bodybuilding isn't the hobby for you

3. "Some of these weight gainers are just dirty stuff injected with chemicals that are packed with calories and protein then dehydrated into powder. The label might read friendly to you when looking at the nutrition facts, but some of this crap can be more dangerous that steroids."

Any proof on this? Just a bunch of dirty stuff and chemicals, unless you can give some valid sources, you are full of sh!t

Oh yeah, more dangerous than steroids, well lets not get into this, steroids and protein powders don't compare, just another idiot comment.

4. "Do your research before plunging into tubs of anything you're planning on taking 3x a day"

I do my research, maybe you should practice what you preach because after reading your idiotic post, I think you should read various articles, their thousands on this site alone

By the way, this isn't a place to make idiotic comments on gainers and it sure as hell isn't a place to say weight gainers are crap...

This is a thread where we discuss gainers THAT WE HAVE TRIED AND LIKE, this isn't an open discussion thread...

So to conclude, Muscle Juice FTW!

[djbaum]

You gotta get some of your facts straight bud. How the hell do you gain weight without any fat!!! Do you know a thing about bodybuilding? You need to do some reading and stop talking about subjects you don't understand.

though Musclejuice may have a lot more calories 18g of saturated fat doesn't exactly tickle me the right way.

i found that real gains has Micellar Casein is Micellar Casein the same thing as casien protein thats good before bed?

[brianr018]

Is muscle juice really that good? i was looking at it about a week ago but didnt go with it due to the 18g of fat and 60g of sugar, these havn't been a problem for anyone?

[Faktum]

Is Universal Real Gains still a good choice? Furthermore, how does Universal Real Gains taste if I want to mix it with milk?

[DHoff25]

Cyto gainer fo sho. I got the chocolate and it is delish.

[kevolution]

It tastes alright with milk. I've had Chocolate Ice Cream Real Gains with milk and it was sorta bland because the flavor isn't too strong. Cytogainer has a more distinct flavor and tastes better with milk IMO.

[djbaum]

It does have a lot of sat fat in it for sure. It's great for bulking though, especially for guys who have a hard time gaining weight. I always took it earlier in the morning so I had the day to burn it off. Not the greatest to have right before bed.

[djbaum]

Like I said above, the fat can be good for some people and you should take it at the right time. The sugar... well sugar sucks but if you have trouble gaining weight like I did in the begining, it's the best cure I know of. 185lbs - 214 lbs in 12 months. Not much of it fat either.

I'd say use it for a bit, until you see some good weight gains. Maintain that weight for a while then cut out the MJ in favor of a leaner gainer. I use True Mass now but there's lots of good lean ones out there. I'm gonna be using CytoSport next.

Agreed, and another thing, if you live an active lifestyle (like hockey 3x a week, martial arts 2-3x a week, 10-15 mins cardio before every workout 3x a week plus some other sports during gym) or anything else...if you do all of this, you pretty much need something to help you out just a bit, muscle juice does the trick

If you are active, eat clean and lots and are serious about bulking there is no reason to fear muscle juice, it definitely works and works well

I'm currently taking my weight gainer as a PWO shake, and somedays I dont get home from the gym until 8 or 9 (other days 6 or 7), would it be a bad idea to take muscle juice this late after a work out?

I would suggest taking it in the morning (maybe a 3/4 portion). Then take a much leaner gainer right after your workout if you get home that late. Then have a high protein, medium carb/fat meal before bed about 45 mins after you get home. Too much sugar before bed is not something you want.

creatine, glutamine, BCAA's, lots of carbs/protein, and Rocky Road is soo tasty...

you can't go wrong!

Homemade is the way to go!

Here is my favorite:

2 scoops ON Whey (Banana Cream)
2 Tablespoons Chunky Peanut Butter
1/2 Cup Oats
10-12 Ounces of 2% Milk
1 Banana

Mix for 35-45 Seconds in a blender on low speed and BAM!!

Taste AMAZING and by my calculations has:
710 Calories
70 Grams of Protein

Sure it sounds crazy but put it this way, if it has 5000 calories, you can bet this is no small shake, probobly have to mix it with 6 glasses of water or milk, first of all that's not convenient, second it's not easy to down 5000 cals without feeling sick or even gagging, I mean this is crazy lol, thirdly...

Honestly, who in the BLUE H3LL needs 5000 calories in one shake, I mean I take in roughly 3800-4200 calories in one day for my bulk, I know I am no giant but alot of guys think this is quite high maintenance, but I play burn my share during the day due to sports, so I need it

Back to the point, russian bear 5000 is probobly one of those gainers aiming towards the very big bodybuilders and even then, 5k sounds crazy

[Gabesnake]

BSN True Mass all the way. Tastes great

[sambala]

Optimum Gainer

[Drums123]

Is ON Serious Mass a good purchase?
Buying 12 Lbs for about 100 inc postage. Do those of you who use this use full servings, or would 2 half servings twice a day be more effective? 1250 cals in once sitting seems like alot...

[Big Bosman]

Cytogainer is by far the best thing out there... I put on @ 25 lbs in less than
3 months using Cytogainer, Muscle Milk, ON 100% whey stack....
Very high fat content so be sureto do some cardio & eat cleanly..

[tpreitzel]

I've briefly looked through this thread, but I'd like information on a strictly organic gainer with absolutely NO artificial ingredients, especially sweeteners. Stevia is ok. Personally, I've never really needed a weight gainer, but I'm willing to experiment as I want to continue lifting and improving as I age.

The homemade concoctions look interesting, but I need as many anecdotal cases per concoction as possible to verify their relative effectiveness in promoting lean muscle mass.

[tpreitzel]

Some of these weight gainers are just dirty stuff injected with chemicals that are packed with calories and protein then dehydrated into powder. The label might read friendly to you when looking at the nutrition facts, but some of this crap can be more dangerous that steroids. Do your research before plunging into tubs of anything you're planning on taking 3x a day.

Right ...

[dovgin]

I'm 5'9 and stuck at 156 lbs (mesomorphic), and have tried gaining weight by increasing caloric intake from 1,800 to about 2,700 calories with no luck.

If I take a weight gainer, I'm concerned I might not be training long enough and I might gain weight in my stomach.

I'm training (pretty hard) about 1 hour and 15 minutes per day per body part.

Is this enough to see mass gains?

Thanks,

Don

I think you're in danger of overtraining. That's just too much time pe day per bodypart. Unless you training once in the morning, take a nap and train again at night. Otherwise... that's just too much and you're asking for injuries.

I also don't think taking in 2700 calories will do much. In my estimation based on your weight, moderately active life and workouts, you burn about 2870 calories per day. So you should be taking in more than this if you want to gain mass. Gainers are a good way to add the extra calories you need if you can't seem to get enough from food.

[EMartNJ]

the best weight gainer imo is oats peanut butter and 2 scoops of whey

[dovgin]

Thanks for the input. By body part, I mean arms one day, back the next, shoulders another day. You think an hour is too much?

Thanks again,
Don

[MKel26]

Dymatize High Protein Mega Gainer worked awesome for me! It has a decent blend of 5g of creatine, 600 calories, 60g of protein and 80g + of carbs. It also breaks down really easily so you don't feel full, it tastes fairly decent and the cost is AMAZING for a gainer and it is almost 30 servings. My favorite so far!

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/dym/hpgainer.html

[antihero]

-Real Gains
-N Large 2
-Cytogainer

[djbaum]

Thanks for the input. By body part, I mean arms one day, back the next, shoulders another day. You think an hour is too much?

Thanks again,
Don

Yes, I do think that a full hour dedicated to shoulders lets say, is excessive. Spending an hour in the weight room is fine, but doing a few bodyparts. Maybe for larger groups like back, 45 mins would be ok. It really sucks to get injured. The time you lose from training ude to injury is not worth the small gains you may get from overtraining.

[ryanval32]

If i sit in my room all day and eat lard while pleasuing my self i have found it to be more greasy. Since this is the case i gain alot of weight and now have a very bulky figure and a hefty wang to support.

troll

[MKel26]

Dymatize High Protein Mega Gainer is my favorite gainer out of a handfull I have tried! It has 600 calories, 3g of fat (non saturated), 81g carbs but only 5g from sugar, and 60g of protein! The cookies & cream flavor is awesome for a gainer, and it even has a digestive enzyme mix to help break it down! It also has 5g of a creatine blend. I've tried more than a handfull and this one takes the cake! $48.97 for almost 30 servings is AMAZING! A perfect post-workout drink!

hey i just bought true mass and i was wondering how often should i take it.. and even on off days.. i have tried it once and i just took 3 scoops after my workout.. im thinking from now on on work out days 2 scoops b4 wo and 3 after wo.. on off days just 3 scoops as a meal replacement.. wut do u think.. thanks

Take 3 scoops right after your workout and 2 scoops as a meal replacement whenever you need it. I'd say have actual food either before or after your workout. A shake at both ends is ok, but nothing beats real food if you wanna make some good gains.

[metal2469]

Universal "Real Gains" is IMO the best out there right now. Excellent ingredient profile, taste is not bad at all. I had chocolate.

[silx29]

i just got a tub of cytogainer, i was wondering how i should take it because i was already on whey protein shake.

i was thinking of taking whey and gainer in the morning,

and just gainer after work out

would this be a good idea?

and should i make two separate shakes or mix whey and gainer together.

(sorry if this had been answered, i don't want to read through 1000 pages)

[jenner01]

real gains is by far my favorite...mix that with a lil whey and you have yourself an amino acid filled drink with plenty of calories

1 whole egg, raw -- 90cal 9prot 0carb 6fat
2 egg whites, raw -- 32, 10, 0, 0
Medium banana -- 105, 1, 27, 0

16oz Skim Milk -- 90, 8, 13, 0
1 scoop ON Whey -- 120, 24, 3, 1
1/2C dry oats -- 150, 5, 27, 3

Oh that's why I thought you weren't gaining, because you don't update like every month or so...ahh now I see

I don't take Real Gains, not recommended for people under 18, not exactly sure why, but I've heard that it contains stuff that benefits older guys and that it wasn't needed for me...so I am not too sure

Bulk has it's ups and downs, but now it's going to be all ups, no more time to waste, I gotta do my best everyday if I want to hit my desired weight by May..

Yeah, wow, as of now, to reach 190 from today, with the weight your at, is a pretty big challenge man, Id say 180 sounds good, or try to get to about 180-185, and not be upset if you fall a bit short...

Yeah my goal to hit 190 in may was more possible when I made that goal, because the plan was to gain 5lbs a month, and at that time I would have hit 190 in that time...

I still think it is possible though, because I was 170lbs, but lost it quick due to the holidays and as they say, weight you lose fast can be gained just as fast...

But I will be happy if I hit 180-185...then it will be cutting time

n-large I found to be the best. I have tried 8 other brands with little or no gains. N-large made me gain 43lbs in a 6 month span. I am verry happy.

[silx29]

i have a question.

is cytogainer for real? like i don't taste any protein in it? its pretty damn good.

and are we suppose to fill the scooper to the line or just fill it all the way.

[JesseP1981]

Ive tasted some pretty nasty weight gainers in my time and mega mass 2000 was one of them ::puke:: I really do not use any weight gainers now because regular protein products in my opinion have out done most weight gainers. If I had to pick one though it would be Cytogainer because of what it has in it which is A LOT.

[Blue Blazer]

I have the chocolate, I haven't tried any others and won't even bother, the chocolate is fine, I'm no lover of the taste of any gainers but this is definitely the best gainer I've had, goes down the easiest, probobly because of all the sugar..

I have the chocolate, I haven't tried any others and won't even bother, the chocolate is fine, I'm no lover of the taste of any gainers but this is definitely the best gainer I've had, goes down the easiest, probobly because of all the sugar..

Cookie'n Cream if you can handle the sweetness.

If you look at them both.. cytogainer just is two servings of Muscle Milk put into one serving.. but if you take two servings of muscle milk it has more protein, calories, etc.


So could I take two servings of muscle milk and be fine... or does cytogainer have something in it, that is better for gaining weight??

Real Gains.

cytogainer has a totally different profile than muscle milk. muscle milk has more than 3x good fats and very few carbs. cytogainer has a lot of carbs and far fewer fat calories. cytogainer is intended for post workout shakes because higher fats slows down nutrient absorption (dont want this post workout) while MM is best if taken right before bed as its low carb profile will limit fat retention while its casein proteins + higher fat content deliver sustained nutrients through the night to help prevent catabolism.

Muscle milk does seem to be a great deal more expensive than cytogainer. I think I have decided that I will start using cytogainer unless I find something that is cheaper with the same amount of protein. Im curious if I should expect to have to take 4 scoops of something in order to get 50+ grams of protein?

I have good gains on everything I use I just train hard

result wise id say

1. Champion HeavyWeight Gainer
2. Serious Mass

[KboT]

Anyone try Ultimate Nutrition's IsoMass? Now, I'm not one to buy in all the supplement hype (I use protein and Creatine) but I tried a sample of this and it tasted/mixed awesome. And on top of that, disregarding all the added supplement hype, the actual nutrition facts as a moderate weight gainer is pretty amazing.

Anyone have any experience with this product? It's making me want to throw away everything and just buy a monthly subscription to it :D

Just picked up a jug of Cytogainer Rocky Road. Tastes okay, just like a chocolate shake.

[FREAKYPHIZ]

in the past ive spent loads on weight gainers and they do work but cost alot so now i just buy some desent proten and make my own.

1scoop pro powder.
30g peanut butter.
300ml semi skimmed.
100g oats.
1 banana.

throw in a blender and hey presto it gives approx 50g protein, 100g of good carbs, 15g of good fat.
