Hi,

Well i am a real skinny guy, and have been consuming weight gainers 3 times per day for whole 8 month and only increase 1kg.

Does weight gainers really helps? OR is it due to each individuals absorption rate is different?

Perhaps trying out other formulations can help.. like WAXY MAiZE form or whatever...

Bored of drinking ....... no result.......

during taking them.. do u still take ur food.. of skipped them.. i took muscle juice 2600... half d recommended dose twice a day... the tub last for almost 2 months.. i gained around 4-6 kg..

Nope tried that b4, did not help a bit.

Did workout twice a day, consume with weight gainers and whey protein.

No big results, isit i workout to much???

could be.. coz even d pros workout just once a day....

you aren't eating enough , period.

could be.. coz even d pros workout just once a day....

^This.

Take more solid & healthy food consistently and no junk food please.

It's work u need to consume weight gainer and balanced food diet in he same time and workout with exercise..totally can change ur weight..

twice a day workout? i think u need more rest bro.

either increase your food intake
or
reduce your workout session to 5 times/week workout?

imho.

This was what I ate when I was hitting the gym hard. I don't do it any more though but it does give you an idea of how much you should/could be eating.

since i work , i eat alot more frequent , and exercise more , i gain in a month 1kg , now about 1.5kg d , without any supplements.

IMHO, weight gainer is an add on to meals not a meal replacement

My metabolism rate are quite high, food intake is burn out b4 can be digested in my body. I am not lactose intolerance, not allergic to dairy products. Still nothings works..

trust me, ppl who consider weight gainers are either not eating enough or just lazy to eat alot.
it's tat easy.

Tell me how do you consume the weight gainer and what type.
Also your workout program.

and as well ur diet plan

even u take muscle Juice 2600 and u still dun have calorie surplus. then how u gain?

+ cant just rely on MJ, its a supplement, supplement + food = gain : )

mang

eat big to get big mang

mind telling me your workout program

my friend eat big, take protein etc etc workout can gain 10KG in 5 ke 6 months

#truestory

Well my diet is as below (Started 2 month ago), for non workout days i skip the 30mins b4 workout and after schedule.

Morning
- breakfast (sometimes skip) + weight gainer + tribulus + Multivites

NooN
- Lunch + Whey Protein + Creatine

1 hour B4 workout
- Weight gainer + creatine +glutamine + Amino Acid caps

30 mins B4 workout
- Pre-workout (NO)

After workout
- Whey protein + glutamine + Amino Acid caps

After Dinner
- Whey protein + creatine

1 hour b4 Sleep
- Weight gainer

Well does the supplements i consume sufficient enough to gain size???? correct way?

basically all of your protein source come from supplements
you rely too much on whey and weight gainer,they aint any magic pills
protein is just purely a formulae to repair your broken muscle tissues
fyi,whey have around 100-200 kcal only,the calories input vs output at the end of day determines you whether grow,vice versa

eat more my friend,if you want to grow
more eggs , tuna,chicken,steak,real food!

dont ever skip breakfast, even if you're taking a weight gainer. what food are you eating for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

You're relying too much on supplements. You need more solid food.
Dinner- whey protein + creatine ? seems ridiculous.

Told u. U ain't eating enough.
Skinny ppl will always tell u they eat alot. Been there, done that.

WTF man?

You could be be the walking advert for those companies with this diet.

You need way more real foods.

But if you still wanna stick to supps,a tub of gainer a day should help....

mang eat real food

Breakfast is ok. Don't take weigh gainer before sleep. take it after you workout.

BTW how many scoop do you take the weight gainer? I suspect you don't take enough serving.
Pls tell me what weight gainer did you use and how many scoop did you take?

A lot of people here are anti-weight gainer while I’m not. Since gain weight and muscle require enough calories, you need to take weight gainer in smart way.
I understand that we all not an athlete, working 8am-5pm or more. BZ with family so eating a solid food all the time might be a problem. Sometime we have to skip lunch because of our bz world. That's why we have to choose the weight gainer. Don’t worry about others, the important is you.
So important to me to know your type of weight gainer to determine whether you are taking enough serving or not. Then I can teach you how to take weight gainer.

If you are beginner, don’t train like bodybuilder.
You need to know that bodybuilder train for symmetry, not strength or power. Their do isolation to target on specific muscle. Did you see skinny bodybuilder? Nope they are not skinny. They are big already. But how about you? You are skinny. So beginner needs strength and power, because with strength and power you can lift heavy weight. When you lift heavy weight your body will growth to adapt the weight stimulus. This is what the beginner needs.
So what is the exercise for strength and power? It’s Starting Strength-Mark Rippetoe. He is very popular at US as a strength coach. The program is simple and yet effective.

BRO, as i am in this trade so i have the option to try out all this supplements and also compare the effectiveness of each individual products from mass / creatine /glutamine/aminoacids/ whey/ BCAA / testosterone supplement / Nitro - O . But the main things is does this supplements really helps or the main factor is to consume solid food , the real hard food i.e .. whole chicken a day, half pound of red meat per day, fish, brown rice, grains, wholemeal bread.. Less oil, less sugar, no fried stuff that kind of diet plan.

Help me... , done with the skinny appearance for the past 30 years..

Perhaps is the way i stack my supplements with food or the schedule is all f**k up...

Supplements as the name implies is just an addition bro,you can take a lot of supps but without the basic building blocks it won't work.

Eating clean is tough but in your case you can eat halfway clean and you'll be fine,start to eat more meat and take in carbs also.

You really need to start supplying fuel to your body,additives will speed up the process only.

read what arekey posted, and for someone who is selling supplements, your fundamental knowledge of nutrition and supplementation is really lacking.

carbs in - rice, bread , wholemeal ?

heard of WAXY MAIZE FORMULA? , DOES IT DOUBLES THE ABSORPTION RATE???

stop being so gung ho about supps and just eat everything you can put your hands on. you can see for yourself, flooding yourself with different supplements and still no changes?

I have no idea what his intentions are, but there you go.

Intentions are trying to get more info and feedbacks from users on supplements regarding gainers and mass....

Does it works or is just products which gives confidence to each individuals.... As i know it does now works on me only....

Am i stacking the wrong way? , So when is the correct way of loading creatine?

what an effin waste of time

Way to treat your customer brother.....

Damm.....

The thread starter has not listed down his/her training intensity and methods yet.

I trained with a trainer for three months, had taken only one tub of gainer so far and increased mass of 8kg.

And of course, having good quality food six times a day helps.

Too bad I'm in work now so only 5 times a day is possible. I would try my best to sneak in another meal there in the morning.

I'm sure you experienced such situation from your colleague/senior, "WTF! Eat again ah?!"
It's happen to me now.



p/s: Going to "ular'ed" now, taking my meal again.

They gave me a very scary stare. When training intensively, one tends to gorge as well.

As I'm working in a university now, I do not have much money to spare for the supplements, so had to depend on food. Yes, I bought supplements, but not from GNC, and my trainer recommends the other brand.

well i just tried out the protein mass gainer and i can say it really helps in increasing my body weight. and its good for muscle too.

guys, you guys have been saying eat more, but wont that increase our fat too? I am afraid that too much rice intake will give me some layers of fat instead of gaining weight

sorry i am a pure noob, please enlighten me ><

eat MEAT.


Chow

Carbs are not an evil. Excess calories are an evil. It's not rocket science. =)

i also face tis problem~my weight cant up although i ady eat many food~i workout 3times/week~any suggestion for me to building muscle n up my weight?

Add your iron plate brutha.

Dunno much about weight gainers. But the fact that most if not all of them have in common is the crazy amount of calories they pack in that stuff. Somehow, doesn't look that all appealing to me. Saying that, I know a lot of guys who swear by them. So there you go, I suppose you could try a few, see if works for you.

For me, I'd go for eating well, enough rest/sleep and train hard would give you results (in time)

i thought the person who sold those stuff knows the best

solid food, did you have them?

bro honestly i last time skinny la, actually 2 time perweek no enoght builder muscle, unless 4 time perweek, eat more carbo and protein, if cheapest way just take 10 unit egg perday, 5 before work out and another 5 after work out
