3rd and schlong Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I need to bulk up some and help maintain weight when football starts. Do any of you guys use weight gainers that work? I used mass xxx from gnc and it did not help me get the gains I wanted. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Just figure out your metabolic rate (amount of calories burned daily) and exceed that by 500 calories. Just taking a high calorie shake won't do anything if you're burning it all off. You need to have a slight calorie surplus. Which means you'll have to count your calories.

polksalet Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Eat a dozen fried eggs a day in addition to your regular diet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missoula Griz Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 100% Whey protien. You can take it several times a day. If you gain weight, you want more muscle than fat anyways. I put on 20 pounds using the stuff, with very low body fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddy Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I remembered a thread from last year on the P90X message boards about guys who were too skinny and packed on muscle. You may find some good information in the thread. I linked it below. Link to thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Screw the mass gainer shakes, most of them are made up of pure garbage. Either make your own using a mix of fruit, peanut butter, whole milk, whey protein, oats, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. or just simply eat more.

mrip Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Commercial weight gainers are nothing more than a barrel full of simple carbs. They help you gain weight by increasing your fat mass, not muscle. You'd get the same effects from mixing sugar with water some vegetable oil and maybe a crushed up vitamin. Try some squats, deadlifts, pullups, bench. Eat some nuts, eggs, milk, beef, beans, cheese, olives, oatmeal. Easy on the booze. Problem solved.

I used mass xxx from gnc and it did not help me get the gains I wanted. Thanks. Just do what the rest of us fantasy football "players" do: generous amounts of pizza, wings and donuts with little to no exercise. It'll bulk the sh*t out of you (on occasion, literally).

Scooby's Hubby Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 seriously, the cytosport "collegiate" is the only weight gainer I would use b/c of the low cholesterol levels. 99% of the weight gainers out there are just bad cholesterol. Check the stats on cholesterol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I've added a few pounds with Power Bar Recovery Bars (soy protien) within 30 minutes of working out. I also have either a Myoplex low carb nutrition bar (whey protien) or one of them Cliff Bulider's (soy)bar as a mid morning snack 5 days a week. Relatively low fat, low cholesterol. That's just under 40 extra gr. of good protein and all that other crazy stuff a day right there. Buckwheat pancakes have about 5 gr. of protien in them too. Some people are just skinny. Sounds like you are younger so it's probably healthier and you'd likely be more effective playing a contact sport like football at your natural body weight and focus on cardio anyways.

twiley Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Screw the mass gainer shakes, most of them are made up of pure garbage. Either make your own using a mix of fruit, peanut butter, whole milk, whey protein, oats, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. or just simply eat more. This and make sure it's a hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, also add some BCAAs into the mix. Clean eating with a ton of calories - lean meats, egg whites, peanut butter, etc. Or find a doctor that will give you some HGH..... just sayin'.

Double Agent Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I am doing that, I just need a good one with lots of calories. I just need one in addition to what I am already doing. If you are going 500 calories over maintenance and still not gaining muscle...then lift more. This isn't curing cancer. It's simple. Lift heavy...eat a ton. And weight gainers are for puzzies.

I am doing that, I just need a good one with lots of calories. I just need one in addition to what I am already doing. If you're taking in more calories than you're burning then you will gain weight regardless of how you're taking them in. It's a very simple equation... caloric intake > caloric burn = gain caloric intake < caloric burn = loss You're young and you're highly active, you may be underestimating your metabolism. Keep it healthy and balanced (fat, protein, carbs) and try to avoid too much of the saturated type but fats get a bad rap. Something to consider calorically speaking... Carbs and proteins = about 4 calories per gram Fats = about 9 calories per gram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
