if you got the money laying around maybe invest in some weight gainer and put that to the test..

[d1lineman69]

yea id get a weight gainer.. My favorites are True Mass Or Real Gains, both work great in my opinion. Also are you drinking a post workout shake. increase your protein by a little bit id say... around 60 grams

Eat more proteins and complex carbs. Invest in a weight gainer or whey product. If your playing O-line you need to be lean and fast enough to pull.

[Morse44]

Yeah i have three shakes a day one in the morning, post workout, and before bed. and ill checkout a weight gainer. Thanks

Well if you like high fructose corn syrup, and having a a mix of more sugar than protein in your drink. I also hate the fact that Soy Lecithin has spurred a number of studies on its ability to increase estrogen. It does have maltodextrin, which is a very fast digesting simple carb for POW, but who knows how much is actually in there. It also has Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, which depresses the thyroid, and reduces energy.

All weight gain shakes are jokes in my opinion. They aren't adding on muscle, they only add on fat. I can take this from the people who say they gained 5-10 pounds of muscle in a week, even though it isn't scientifically possible for even the best of genes to gain a pound of dry muscle over the course of a week (proven countless number of times). You can have the exact same benefits, actually even greater benefits from eating the magical supplement known as food. There is a time and place for liquid drinks such as after workout to replenish your body as quick as possible, and liquid hits first, but for the most part people are taking these things during the day, not after a workout.
