I offered to teach my newbie friends compound exercises for free and all they want to know is how to use machines...then complain about no visual progress in just one month...

Needless to say I don't offer free coaching anymore

not worth teach people for free. they will not appreciate it. their wallet won't feel the pain if they don't listen to you.
is better to train stranger of course not free. they will treat your every single word of advice as a gold.

2 big no
1. no mass gainer
mass gainer is not as good as it promised. The 1k calorie consists of 2 big washing powder scoop, which can be easily replaced by whey / banana / peanut butter, worse come to worst, icecream / milo / sugar, yield same calorie, same fullness, with so much less money to spent.
2. no gnc
overpriced supplement store next to direct sales

yes but, supplement is more convenient to prepare, store , and consume.

btw its not expensive also. big 10 lb bag only costs rm300.

ON Whey

ON Mass Gainer
https://www.musclemaniaclub.net/seriousmass

**note**
- Milo 3 in 1 is more expensive than just milo powder in 2kg pack
- Mass gainer has very low serving per pack, dont get fooled
- Each serving of mass gainer is as big as 2 scoops of big washing powder
- Milo taste so much better

Mass gainer = whey + sugar
Milo = sugar
So, Mass Gainer = whey + milo

Problem solved ?

This is even cheaper

Yes its convenient to prepare store and consume. Also very convenient to get diabetes.

One big bag 10lbs only RM 300 but very less servings. One serving is like 2 huge scoops.

I used to drink hell lot of Milo from my previous office cause its free. Not much difference bro.

I'm 170cm, 55kg and I just started working out at the gym about 3 weeks ago and I see some progress. I'm happy with it but I'm not too happy with my weight. Here are my problems why it's hard for me to gain weight:
1) High metabolism - Even if I eat a lot of food, I only gain few grams in weight for few hours and then it drops back(wtf)
2) Working - Don't have time to eat(Only lunch and dinner)

So I'm seeking an advice from you guys of what should I do to gain some weight and muscles. Should I buy supplements like mass or whey?

If important, here's my workout routine - chest, biceps, triceps, shoulders, jogging on treadmill for 2km in 15~ minutes

To gain weight you need to consume more calories than you expend.

Eat more high calorie food or mass gainer.

Definitely try tracking your caloric intake because most people who can't gain weight have problem eating enough calories because of habit. So being conscious of your caloric intake would definitely help!

Also take note that if you do cardio you burn calories.

200 - 500 caloric surplus would be ideal for muscle gain, more than that it's going to be fat but don't worry about a little bit of fat because you can always cut.

Any calories u put in can increase weight as long as you're eating more than you're using.

Your body is what you put in your mouth. If u want increase weight; eat more than u currently do. If you lose weight; eat lesser than what ur eating now. simple as that.

That's every skinny ppl's statement. I can eat a lot but still skinny. Same to obese ppl, i eat very less. What is alot and less? Subjective. How much is a lot for u? By serving? By Meals? Start counting calorie then u will know.
