Russian Bear 5000, What about it ?

[lepezoule]

Hey, first of all sorry for my english...

I would like to know if someone have already try this supplement, because some reviews that i can see say that it's work very well!

[Sixpack]

Save your money, if u want a gainer make one yourself

1 cup dry Steel cut or whole oats
12oz water or milk
2tbspf natural PB
1 banana or other fruit(optional)
2 scoops of whey protein

[GPAONEG]

I was gonna buy it at the Vitamin Shop, but the salesman asked me "when you where on this supplement did you notice that you where more angry?" He then went on to tell me that it will make me bald if I take it, and that the only reason that he would sell it to me is bc my mom was with me.

He made it out to sound like it was some steroid or something, so i didn't get it. I read in a review that it gives users mad diharrea.

[The Abomination]

Can't believe this stuff is still around....

[MonsterG8r]

Can't believe this stuff is still around....

Oh I can!!! I used to inject it for better absorbsion. Better than anything EVER!!

[ChicagoDaniel]

if you want a good weight gainer than you should use REAL GAINS BY UNIVERSAL................I used it and I love it.

[lepezoule]

Thx for ur reply but with this sort of gainer you take also somes fats, that true ?
Or i'm in the wrong way!

[ChicagoDaniel]

Real Gains........610 Calories, Total Fat 6 Grams And Only 3 Grams Saturated Fat, 5 Grams Of Sugar, 52 Grams Of Protein............so I Believe That This Stuff Is A Near Perfect Weight Gainer And The Taste Is Above Average.

[crystalfortress]

You linked the old thread which was review hype - my final review is here:

Second of all, I can't believe how little attention Russian Bear gets. Yes it looks ridiculous, but it actually is one of the best price/calorie gainer out there, has a good profile aside from the odd extra stuff they throw in it, and is hands down one of the best tasting protein shakes I have ever had.

Now, I'd recommend the best way you used it is to use 1-2 scoops at a time, giving you 1000-2000 calories instead of 5 scoops for 5000 calories (the whole serving) - there are 20 scoops per container, so 20 scoops @ 1000 calories/scoop @ 18.95/container = $0.001 per calorie, or 1055 calories per $1.00. At that price no other gainer out there can touch it.

But the 5000cals per container is based on the container + 1 gallon of whole milk correct?

so there would be far less the 5000 cals per container - something in the realm of 2600 cals.

with milk 5000 cals without milk 2600 cals
with milk 292 grams protein without milk 184 grams protein
with milk 567 grams carbs without milk 391 grams carbs
with milk 128 grams fat without milk 0 grams fat
powder alone contains 46 grams of MCT.

so your calculations are skewed.

I thought it was obvious that I meant you divide everything up, including milk.. I wasn't suggesting you ate the powder. Just mix 1 scoop with 26oz of whole milk and you get roughly 1000cal, 2 scoops in 52oz of milk for 2000, etc.

[shockwhore]

is it just me or the vanilla flavor taste hella sweet?

i know it obvious, but i dont know you, so i brought it up.

i think all you have done is point out how calorie dense whole milk is.

[bballer5533]

Does anybody know how to take russian bear 5000 in smaller portions? i need to kno how much to use in like a 2 full glasses of milk?

I need to know ASAP!!

Thanks

[BeefJerky3793]

Hey I just started using this stuff and I use one scoop for about 800ml (25 oz) of whole milk. This is simply 1/5 of the suggested serving and it gives you a 1000 calorie shake. I drink one in the morning, one before and after my workout, and one before bed.

[SoftballNerd]

ahahaha..... weight gainers...those were the days...

when will read about someone asking questions about MegaMass 4000 they found at a garage sale?

[Jason43mu]

Wow I thought this stuff was off the shelves. I use to take this back in college. Was literally going through a gallon of milk a day(thanks to the cafeteria and large plastic containers and a gym bag). Did work well with me during my regular season to keep my size up. I was a defensive End and with so many practices and games I needed to stay around 255 260. This helped but I honestly never would have thought I would hear the name Russian bear again hahaha. That's great

[gspsilva]

use Mutant mass,best weight gainer on the go atm

[RSM87]

Sikadeer Antler Powder 500MG ... russian bear must work!

[gspsilva]

Sikadeer Antler Powder 500MG ... russian bear must work!

its made with real bits of panther so you know its good

[Adiakritos]

I need to know how much sugar each scoop has. It's hella sweet and the label isn't a regular one. They use their own kind without mention of how many grams of sugar.

[Adiakritos]

Ahh no wonder it's so sweet.

Here's what the bodybuilding.com label says about it's other ingredients. actually this is the first thing it says...

Three Stage Carbohydrate Mix (Glucose Polymers) Containing Complex, Medium Chain, And Simple Carbohydrates

If you simply search "glucose" wikipedia says this...

Glucose (/ˈɡluːkoʊs/ or /-koʊz/; C6H12O6, also known as D-glucose, dextrose, or grape sugar) is a simple sugar (monosaccharide)...

glucose is a simple sugar.

How much is in each serving is still the question...

I'd prefer not to ingest a TON of simple carbs but hey.. I already bought it, opened it and liked the taste. I'm just gonna take it a little at a time then. I'm not tryna get fat on this ****.

[ANIMALbear]

I was gonna buy it at the Vitamin Shop, but the salesman asked me "when you where on this supplement did you notice that you where more angry?" He then went on to tell me that it will make me bald if I take it, and that the only reason that he would sell it to me is bc my mom was with me.

yes it's still around and so is Monster Mass, Real gains was good as well but RUSSIAN BEAR, UP YOUR MASS, TRUE MASS possibly real gains. Are the best Russian bear will not make you bald. Idk who the **** told you that bull****, VITAMIN SHOP, GNC, NUTRISHOP are all garbage places to go to. google Brandon Florida southern muscle and you'll get a real shop to tell you what to use or go to discount supplements.com

***Russian bear will up your Testosterone which is a good thing, if your a teen(I'm 17and I compete) it's not a bad thing. It has all 10amino acids that help absorb nutrients and shuttle them to your body. Yes it may have a decent amount of simple sugars but if you use it right, (on an offseason which I'm doing and your diet is on point) you should be fine. I would go to discount supplements.com to buy 2of the tubs. Here's my offseason bulking plan. FOLLOW IT TO THE DOT. Meals are eaten every 2hrs.

supplements you will need. 130 count nitrix and 2 Russian Bear tubs. Nitrix-should be taken 7hours later. So i wake up @5, I'll take another 3tablets @11 then several hrs later.
TAKE 3 NITRIX TABLETS UPON WAKING UP, MEAL 1- two scoops of RUSSIAN BEAR 2tablespoons of peanut butter, 2cups of milk and low fat ice cream.
MEAL 2: 2 pb&j sandwiches (I would add some sliced bananas)
MEAL 3: pick two proteins(sizeof your palm)
*6oz Lean Beef(roast beef, lean hamburger, steak)
*6oz chicken, turkey,turkey breast,ground turkey)
*6oz fish or 3whole eggs and 2whites (can of tuna,filet of fish not fried)
Pick two complex carbs-
*3cups of whole wheat pasta,brown rice, large sweet potato, or large red potato
* 2slices of bread,2muffins, 2wheat tortilla,1bagel,2pitas
Pick one fruit: 3cups of grapes,strawberries,blueberries,watermelon or 1apple, banana,pear,orange, kiwi, avocado, grapefruit lemon
one vegetable
MEAL 4: one medium thin crust pizza with any toppings, three peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, two wheat turkey sandwiches.
MEAL 5: SAMEAS MEAL 3
MEAL 6: SAMEAS MEAL 1
