Best Overall Weight Gainer?

[vdog28]

I've been taking Enormass from Body Fuel for 8 weeks and put on almost 10lbs! No bloating what so ever...I love this stuff! Has hydrolyzed rolled oats and rice syrup. I best thing about it is that its timed released.....feeds your muscles up to 5 hours, no to mention the taste is out of hand!!

[greggers_222]

hey i'm an athelete from AUS i was wondering what your take on NaNo Vapor is? does it really work while busting out massive workouts?

[ezrollin]

um, no

[greggers_222]

thanks

Real Gains Ftmfw!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Real Gains Ftmfw!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, it's by far the best weight gainer I've seen.

High carbs (including maltodextrine) with equal high whey and soy protein, glutamine, BCAAs and really low sugar. Can't remember anything else you can ask for in a weight gainer.

[keelymandat]

I've been on Cyto Gainer ever since I started lifting, and while it put on 30 lbs in a year, I have plateaued at 195 and can't seem to put on any more pounds, and it has been 6 months! Any suggestions?

i plateaued at about 165lbs, after 5 months......i tried increasing my calories and uping my carbs alittle....now im 181lbs 3 months later....

Soy protein = **** haha

Same thing happened to me except it wasn't for 5 months, more like 3...

[tbo27]

ok. im tired of not gaining.

ive been through 2 tubs of cytogainer, and its just not working very well for me. in 2 tubs ive gained about 2 lbs.

i DO have a good lifting routine, and i know thats not it. however i dont eat as much as i should some days to gain, just cuz im in college and its hard to go to my schools ****ty cafeteria 4 or 5 times a day.

i want a gainer that is going to ADD WEIGHT FAST. i dont care if it adds fat as well.. i have like 5 percent body fat, so i need it anyway. im just tired of being small. i started lifting seriously about 6 months ago, and people always tell me they can definitely tell a difference, but im still tired of being light.

so. whats a god damn gainer thats gonna pack on weight if i dont care about fat content or any of that other stuff. i need the calories and i need the protein. and a lot of it.

Eat food. Don't rely on weight gainers, most of them have crappy ingredients anyways

[Austin109]

we are talking about weight gainer shakes and which is the best. we know food is the best but some of us have very fast metabolisms and cant eat enough to gain and shakes are the only way. everyone in here harping about how food is the best needs to shut the hell up

[ZDub212]

Food is the best. I guarantee you most people aren't trying hard enough to eat calorically dense foods.

Seriously though...wholeish food weight gainers are the way to go...

2 scoops of whey - 200 - 240
12 oz of milk - 135 - 195
1 cup of oats - 300
2 tbsp of pb - 200

That'll get you for 835 - 1000kcal and over 75g of protein...

[Hostage]

weight gainers.....damn haven't taken one of those in years. How's the taste with those...because back in the day it was like drinking wet cement.

[Blue Blazer]

Well you're right about one thing but wrong about another, the guy who posted above sounds like he's relying on the gainers, wrong thing to do, you also need to eat food, but you're wrong when saying gainers are crap...

Don't even bother trying to convince the troll gainers are good, we always have the occasional "weight gainers are bad eat food" troll come around...

Nothing wrong with what your saying, homemade gainers are good, but nothing wrong with a real gainer neither, I take muscle juice and it's great, and one important thing is the convience factor, I don't need to dig up 3-5 things, blend them ,etc...

BTW, I think you may want to modify your gainer, 75 grams of protein in one shot isn't the greatest idea...keep it around 50-60 grams, no more

[ZDub212]

Can anyone find me one store bought weight gainer with a quality protein blend and no maltodextrin?

With homemade gainers you can adjust the macros however you want...can't do that with storebought. Yeah they're SLIGHTLY more convenient, but how hard is it to go BAM whey, BAM oats, BAM milk in a blender and done?

Also, most gainers are pure sugar, or pure HIGH gi carbs...and almost certainly too many. 85-100g of carbs in between meals?

[tbo27]

Im not relying on gainers.. i know how important food is and i try to eat whatevers in my schools cafeteria that has the most protein, complex carbs and overall calories.

BUT i still want a gainer thats gonna add. Blue blazer.. you say youre on muscle juice? i'm thinking about trying it next... just not too sure about the high sugar content, but its not really a big concern for me right now.

has it been working well for you..?

Best weight gainer on the market most likely.

[Paradoxical_Nihilism]

i LOVE realgains, i kinda hit a wall at 165, and im up to 171 now in a month (mostly muscle) from adding some Realgains +PB +banana shakes (one serving a day basically) plus it tastes damn good and is relatively cheap

[trackguy]

i used the vitamin shop brand called "body tech x mass" back in februrary and in about 3 weeks i had packed on about 14 lbs of nice lean mass. I had a shake every night with bannanas and natural pb around midnight after i had spent the day eating everything i could. I think its agreat deal, you get a 7.5lb tub for $30 which is 20 servings they say. just my opinion take it or leave it.

if you packed on 14lbs in 3 weeks i guarantee you it wasnt lean. its a physical impossibility even with roids.

Dude no need to worry about sugars, cholesterol or anything at your size haha, you want to get big?

Take muscle juice and eat like a f*cking greak, pretend as if you weren't even taking the muscle juice in a way haha

Dude, eat burgers, chicken, tuna, bread lots and lots, pasta, peanut butter, milk, cheese, just f*cking overload yourself with food and on top of that take a gainer like muscle juice

Muscle Juice works great and delivers results, no bullsh!t, it looks like the worst gainer on the market, but it works so well it's unbelievable, I've gained little to no fat while taking it

Also, most gainers are pure sugar, or pure HIGH gi carbs...and almost certainly too many. 85-100g of carbs in between meals?

For starters, when bulking eating squeaky clean doesn't deliver the greatest results...example: if a guy is only eating egg whites, chicken, tuna and oatmeal on his bulk, well I feel bad for him, because he's not going to gain

You've got to eat lots of ground beef, steaks, chicken, tuna, bread lots and lots of bread, pasta, oatmeal, peanut butter, potatoes, protein shakes, canola or any kind of oil to get in extra fats

I agree with you 100 percent of the homemade gainer thing, because I do it myself everyday, I have one homemade gainer shake everyday, but it is my pwo shake, but on non lifting days I add pb for fats

250ml of oats
2 scoops of whey
2-3tbs of pb on non lifting days

"85-100g of carbs in between meals"

When you said this it really made me laugh, you contradicted yourself in a way

You said to add a cup of oats (also said it gives you 300cals, gives me 450)
A cup of oats for me gives 81 grams of carbs..and you said gainers give you too much carbs?

Tell me what is wrong with getting 80 grams of carbs in one shot...seems to be fine

Anyway dude, I don't appreciate when guys run their mouths about gainers being no good and that eating food is better, blah blah, it is trollish to the max

Muscle Juice for the f*ckin' win!

Complex carbs are not "less anabolic" then high gi carbs. Can you prove that high gi carbs and sugar are more anabolic? Someone's not going to gain on egg whites/oats/chicken breasts...are you serious?

Come on man, don't make claims like this. Sugar is not more anabolic than anything, and just cramming your face with garbage is not the best way to gain. You are 16 and can eat more without worrying about fat gain (apparently)...others are not so lucky.

A cup of oats gives you 81g of carbs? Where do you get your oats from man? It's more like 54g man...you get quaker?

How did I contradict myself? You're telling people to use weight gainers in addition to/in between meals as do most weight gainer instructions.

Don't you dare call me a ****ing troll.

Thanks for the link... I might have to give that one a shot!

Thanks for the info, i think i'll try it out. it was either that or real gains in my mind, but ill give muscle juice a shot.

I think ill also get some whey protein and mix it with oats for the mornings. which whey do you use.. gnc?

[musclegto]

hmmm

[Blue Blazer]

Ok let's pick your idiotic post apart piece by piece lol

"Complex carbs are not "less anabolic" then high gi carbs. Can you prove that high gi carbs and sugar are more anabolic? "

I didn't say this anywhere in my post, and in case this isn't enough, no I don't think sugars and high gi carbs are more anabolic, and once more, I DID NOT SAY THAT ANYWHERE IN MY LAST POST!

"Someone's not going to gain on egg whites/oats/chicken breasts...are you serious?"
I still stand by this, when bulking, eating egg yolks along with whites, eating lots of ground beef and steaks along with chicken, bread, pasta, etc

All of this will make you gain..btw I am not hating on chicken, whites and oats, these are things I eat about everyday...

"Come on man, don't make claims like this. Sugar is not more anabolic than anything"

Once again I did not say this, where the f*ck did I say this for you to repeat it twice...

"and just cramming your face with garbage is not the best way to gain.

For the record Zdub and everyone else reading, I don't cram my face with garbage, unless in Zdub's book, garbage = ground beef, whole eggs, natty pb, oats, ww bread, whole grain pasta, tuna, cod fish, salmon, lobster, crab (basically anything from the sea lol, because I live on the East side of Canada and my small town has plenty of it, good quality too)

"You are 16 and can eat more without worrying about fat gain (apparently)...others are not so lucky."

Well Zdub, what you said there is somewhat true, I have been an ecto all my life and have a fairly high metabolism and still do some cardio exercises during the week (martial arts 2x per week, in other words 2-4 hours)

"A cup of oats gives you 81g of carbs? Where do you get your oats from man? It's more like 54g man...you get quaker?"

http://www.robinhood.ca/product.deta...=88&prodcid=10

Prepare to be amazed...steel cut oats I believe, though it isn't written anywhere on the bag, but last night I googled quaker's steel cut oats and they had the same nutritional facts as the robin hood ones I just posted...So I am assuming the Robin hood oats are steel cut.

"How did I contradict myself? You're telling people to use weight gainers in addition to/in between meals as do most weight gainer instructions."

I assumed your oats were the same as mine so I thought you had about 81+ grams of carbs in your homemade gainer shakes, but now I know you have the regular oats, I recommend you make the switch and get steel cut, especially if you're bulking...

"Don't you dare call me a ****ing troll"

Anyone who comes in the gainer section implying that we are all morons wasting our money on such products and are better off just eating real food, etc is trollish in my book

Do you go in the protein bar section and tell them all the bars s*ck and to make their own?

Do you go in the Meal Replacement thread and tell them to make their own meal replacement shakes?

Do you go in the creatine thread and tell them to just eat alot of red meat?

If so, you are an incompetent f*ck

Gainers ftw!

[ZDub212]

Let's pick apart your ****ing dumbass post shall we?

For starters, when bulking eating squeaky clean doesn't deliver the greatest results...example: if a guy is only eating egg whites, chicken, tuna and oatmeal on his bulk, well I feel bad for him, because he's not going to gain

RIGHT HERE YOU JUST SAID YOU'RE >>NOT<< GOING TO GAIN ON LEAN PROTEINS AND COMPLEX CARBS. HE'S NOT GOING TO GAIN>>>YOUR WORDS.

When you said this it really made me laugh, you contradicted yourself in a way

You said to add a cup of oats (also said it gives you 300cals, gives me 450)
A cup of oats for me gives 81 grams of carbs..and you said gainers give you too much carbs?

You didn't ****ing specify steel cut oats or not...k? Thanks.

Anyway dude, I don't appreciate when guys run their mouths about gainers being no good and that eating food is better, blah blah, it is trollish to the max

Muscle Juice for the f*ckin' win!

You're telling people to drink muscle juice which is full of sugar...you're saying that you'll gain by using that, you ARE claiming sugar to be good for your bulk.

Ok let's pick your idiotic post apart piece by piece lol

Actually I have although there are some good ones out there that I DO recommend

Absurd, not even close to the same thing

If so, you are an incompetent f*ck

Gainers ftw!

The only incompetent person here is you. Thank you.

[Blue Blazer]

Thank you for replying in such a mature fashion lolI'll say it once more, to see some good results, eating proteins that aren't lean will do some good, ground beef, steaks, whole eggs, all great bulking foods, gains will be better...even idiots like you can agree on this lol

As far as muscle juice goes, what can I say? Muscle Juice delivers...you can ask just about anyone who's taken it and had a solid diet, they will tell you it works great...It has worked great for me, imo I find it strange that muscle juice works well...because it does look like the crappiest gainer ever...

Who can't agree with that? It really does look like a terrible gainer, but I can't say it is terrible because I have had excellent results with it...

And I know others who have had great gainers with it (member History In Effect) As far as the oats go, like I said I didn't know if they were steel cut or not, because it wasn't indicated on the bag, my apologies douchebag

[INGENIUM]

Anyway I have had enough argueing with a fat@ss, yeah you're fat, 20 percent bodyfat at 190, pathetic...

go back to the teen section with this BS

edit: strong neg
