So I just got my mass gainer

Soreno · 02-09-2006, 06:22 PM

The bottle says that its only good for 10 servings (5 scoops) and each serving is either 830 calories with water or 1000 with skim milk.

Now I wanna take half a serving a day so that this lasts me 20 days.
So do you think I can see good gains in mass with 417 calories a day (With Milk) or 354 calories a day (With Water). I'm hoping im not cutting my self short by only taking half........but i figure I don't need 1000 calories a day plus what I'm eating.

Snikka · 02-09-2006, 10:46 PM

if I was you I would only take the gainer after a workout and try to keep that shit around 300 calories and 30 grams of protein

i almost garauntee you if you kill down 500-800 calories at a sitting of weight gainer you'll waste it all away by taking a massive shit.. guraunteed.

Snikka · 02-09-2006, 10:50 PM

maybe 20 grams about 2 hours before workout.

and I notice I really like setting my alarm haflway thru my sleep, like 4-4.5 hours in and have a protein shake then.

even if you ate some type of casein protein, or cottege cheese or a few glasses of milk or even a shake before bed.. think about it, you're about to go 8-10 hours without food or any nourishment.

that's the perfect time for your body to start using muscle for energy.

it seems stupid, but seriously man.. it's perfect to wake up, hit that shake and keep your body constantly anabolic, and go back to sleep.

and this isn't somthing I just made up, I've also read a lot of information from trainers suggesting the same thing. only their midnight mixtures contained more than just protein in it.. i keep it simple.

when you wake up isn't your stomach growling and you're hungry as fuck??? man, I sure am... this way I keep on a constant intake of food all day, keep my metabolism up.

Soreno · 02-10-2006, 03:24 PM

Well I'm just gonna take half a serving a day 354 calories and I'll get like 23 grams of Protein each time i use it after i work out. for the rest of my portein ill use my whey protein from GNC.
it makes more sense to stack mass tech with cell tech then stackin nitro tech with cell tech

Yeah I was gonna mention casein...good point tho

Soreno · 02-12-2006, 12:42 AM

they guy at GNC said i was gonna gain fat....like alot.

Snikka · 02-12-2006, 02:44 AM

lol.. he doesn't know shit then. only if you're a nutcase about the gainer.. use the shit like a protein shake and you'll be fine.. don't live and die by weight gainer, you should be eating 5-7 times a day in smaller meals and keeping your metabolism up.

if you're keepig the calories to a minimum per serving with the gainer.. like I said about 300 AFTER workout.. I doin't see why you would gain much fat. keep the post-workout shake to about 30 grams of protein or so. I'm assuming you weigh about 180+.

and you're gonna get some fat anyways, if you're trying to BULK aka GAIN WEIGHT. it's not possible to bulk + get leaner at the same time in quantity, unless you're using drugs.

I don't even use just a basic whey protein... I honestly only use a gainer as my protein supplement... just use it wisely.

Soreno · 02-12-2006, 03:25 PM

Yeah you got it exactly dog. This mass gaineris gonna replace my protein, and I'm gonna take half a serving 2 times a day, instead of 1 serving once a day.

Ben Official · 02-27-2006, 10:25 PM

is that shit called "weight gainer"? i got that same shit yo, i been using it for 6 months now. at first i drank a serving a day, now its usually on the days i work out or when im not hungry but need to eat.

i got probs getting enough calories n shit so its good for just pilin on the calories, but i probly dont drink that shit as much as im supposed to

Purple Haze · 02-27-2006, 11:29 PM

I can't believe I miss this thread.

Most weight Gainer is shit and loaded with sugar. (That's why the dude said you will gain fat)

You're better off making your own.

Yeah you can find some gainers low in sugar, gotta watch em though because there are some that have a huge amount. 6 grams isn't bad.

Purple Haze · 02-28-2006, 11:18 PM

It also depends if your getting your moneys worth.

For some people it doesn't really matter because they can afford it, but most people can't really drop 200 a month on supps like Snikka.

Soreno · 03-04-2006, 12:23 AM

This shit was too much i might go with N-Large

style-rip · 03-04-2006, 03:23 AM

RedIye · 03-05-2006, 12:02 AM
