Weight Gainer? To be or Not to Be?

RippedAnatomy · 10-09-2008, 08:45 AM

So, I have decided to venture into the deep and dark sectors of a weight gainer. The weight gainer I am looking to purchase is the 15 lb bag of PVL Mutant Mass. I am wondering, what time of the day would I have to take the weight gainer if I can only workout after school, which is about 3:30 pm after I finish my pre workout snack of chicken and rice?? I also am on a bulk and am eating about-to-over 4000 calories, 150-250 grams of protein, and something like 80-150 grams of fat and 150-350 carbs. I'm also wondering if the weight gainer is really worth the effort, or am I just buying into martketing trickery??

A weight gainer can help if you're strapped for time. If you have the time and access to a blender it's much more efficient to make your own. milk, oats, whey, and peanut butter makes a delicious effective weight gainer. Are you in ottawa by any chance?

For people with super-fast metabolisms, weight gainers can be a good tool. The best time for them is upon waking and PWO.

I think they can be a waste of money and they are disgusting. If you're consuming around 4000 cals, why do you need a weight gainer?

Yeah, I was thinking about that, but it would cost me so much money hahaha.. **** it, natural is better!

I just wonder how many calories a shake like that would be. I'll do some research.

No, I live closer to Toronto. Sorry bro.
