I'm about to start lifting weights again, so I'll need a good weight gainer. Before I used Up Your Mass by MHP (Didn't work for me), Gainers Fuel by Twinlab and the Pro Performance 1850 and the 2200, but a lot of people have told me that N Large is the best one, I was wondering if anybody can help me to choose the best one, cuz I don't wanna be trying all the weight gainers in the market.

Is the N Large that good???

Has anybody used Mass Tech??? Cuz I was planning to get that one.

I was 177lb in July and lost 12lb, so right now I'm 165lb. I wanna gain around 20lb, so I wanna know which weight gainer is the best choice to supplement my diet...

Fuck MassTech. $50 for a 10 day supply? not worth it IMO. Up Your Mass didn't work for you? I used it while on cycle and I loved it. It does get expensive but it did the job, I put on a/b 20 lbs. and kept 9-11

personally i like pro-mass by cnp, better profile than most other weight gainers (more like a MRP with a few extra carbs), much better than n-large IMO

peace

young_d where can I find pro-mass by cnp? I am about to buy a 5lb tub of N Large 2 to see what it's like, but you've got me interested in pro-mass now.

If you want something that tastes good, low fat, big protein, lots of calories, get Serious Mass. It's cheap and effective.

www.affordablesupplements.co.uk is where I get mine, they sell it in all 3 sizes, its really good stuff man the only weight gainer i've used that didn't make me put on fat... and actually seemed to give me some decent gains!

peace

Yeah Young D, now I'm kinda confused, cuz I was about to get the N Large, but since u said about the pro mass!!!

Also muscle pump who said abour serious mass, so know I'm more consfused ...

Cuz I was thinking about the Mass Tech, but I don't see that many people getting it, so I don't it worth to buy some expensive that shit that is not gonna work.

I'll check about the pro mass and the serious mass, cuz I have to get my weight gainer by the next week, so gotta figure out soon!!!

Thanks ya'll for the replies,

Flakko

Mass Tech is a MuscleTech product. That disqualifies it right there.

Six pounds, $24 bucks. If you don't want 40g of sugar, cut the servings in half and still get a damn good tasting, calorie-heavy shake.

i get the 12 lb bags of serious mass. then for 1/2 serving throw in 2 scoops of whey to even things out a bit


Posted by: stikyicky

Hey dimebagdarrel i have serious mass! but the scoops are so freakin big its not even funny! am i just readin the laabel wrong or what b.c this is really gay when i used to take masstech and two scoops of mass tech was still less in powder and more of call.. carbs.. and protein when two big ass heaping scoops of serious mass was way more than two scoops of mass tech and serious mass had less call. pro. and carbs?


Posted by: Flakko

That's one of the things that I meant.

A lot of weight gainers offer u over a thousand calories per serving, but the serving is always around 250 to 300 grams or even more (in the GNC ProPerformance 2200is like 400 grams). I've been reading labels in my store and I saw one called Muscle Juice, it has like 1040 calories, but in a 250 grams serving. On the other hand the N Large has like 600 calories (in water) and the serving is only like 150 grams.

I agree with stickyiky, the Mass Tech gives you 830 calories in a 200+ grams serving and like 46 grams of protein. Also the Serious Mass has no sugar, so probably tastes like the Real Gains by Universal Nutrition... (Low in sugar, so when u mix it with water, taste funny).

So I'm still considering the N Large, cheap (around $15 the 3.8 lb), decent amount of calories by serving/size, a lot of protein and I've received a lot of good comments about it.

But, I still wanna get more info about other gainers in the market.

Peace,

Flakko

Has anybody heard or used Cyto Gainer by Cytosport???


Posted by: Robboe

If you genuinely require weight gainer products (i.e. to get genuinely high daily calorie intakes and not to just make 2000kcals cause you're a faggot), then Pro-Mass is by far and the way the leader on the market. Unless there's anothe brand i've not tried or heard of.

And i genuinely believe i need to genuinely use the word "genuinely" at least one more time in this post.

Genuinely.

Is Serious Mass ON's brand of mass-gainer?

I bought some N-Large 2 and it tastes like SHAT.... I have a hard time downing it.


Posted by: Nate K

N Large does not taste like shat, maybe people think so because its not loaded with sugar like some other mass products. N Large is totally good stuff mayne.
