Weight Gainers!!

[cha kuen]

Any weight gainers out there that actually taste good??

Someone told me to try an alternative to weight gainers. He said to buy milk powder and mix it with milk. Anyone try that?

I'm 5'10 and weigh 134. What do I got to eat? Pasta, rice, bread, milk, steak, take vitamins, cereal, bagels and eggs. Can anyone add to this list?

Thanks.

steak, mmmm

maybe you have a really fast metabolism, some people aren't supposed to be big, just as some people can't be thin.

Load up on the carbs, and start with the weights.

Red meat is good, also.

1. dont eat ANYTHING all day, then eat a huge dinner.

2. lift weights. heavy weights at low reps, doing lighter weights at higher reps will burn fat.

PROTEIN SHAKES...they will help...
Best thing I did was eat TYSON chicken breasts and rice almost everyday...you can buy a pack different flavored at BJ WHOLESALEs or COSTCO...
and life heavy with light reps! 8 reps and 3 sets!
You'll see a difference in about 3 months...
Warning...you will gain a tummy but you can burn that off relatively quick when you hit the cardio training again!

I'm dredging through the archives hoping to breath some life into this subforum.

I was underweight most of my life and wanted to build more muscle mass. I tried all sorts of protein powders, high-carb diet, etc., especially in my 20-30s when I was teaching full-time and competing. Mind you, this was before I went pescatarian, so I ate a lot of red meat. A LOT. Bacon cheeseburgers every week, with steak-cut fries and mayonnaise. I even intentionally stalked overweight diners at all-you-can-eat buffets and in supermarkets. Fro many years, I drank a Guinness a day, for the weight gain.

Now I'm pre-diabetic so few carbs and I don't really drink beer anymore. I've been pescatarian for years as part of my Buddhist vows. And I've got a qi belly that I've gotta suck in everytime I'm taking photos with these svelte martial arts masters.

I have tried to gain more weight with target of 60 kg. for several years without success. So early on this year, I beefed up my bodybuilding program which includes one more training session per week (now is three). Plus eating more protein food and protein supplement like milk powder. It has worked slowly, but I am still one kilogram less than the target. One problem is the accuracy of weight scale I have been using. I do not have one at my place. What I have been using are the scales in public sport facilities.

This post will probably annoy you, but its true. You will have to eat more, or to put it another way "eat more than you burn off", stick to that quote and you WILL gain weight, if you want to gain muscle mass, lift heavy and make it 3 sets of 5-8. I had trouble gaining weight untill recently - and yeah im an ectomorph like you, i pretty much had to double what i eat in a day. If Ironfist replies to this post he'll be a great help - he was to me, thanks Ironfist!

Want to gain wait? THEN START EATING YOU SKINNY RAIL!

Here's the program I use when I want to put on a few extra pounds: Eat until your belly is so extended it sounds like a watermelon when you thump it. Sit on the couch and watch Oprah. Beat off to more internet porn in the process until you're so fatiqued you can't even walk to the bathroom but have to relieve yourself in a 7-11 Big Gulp cup. Before you know it you'll be slappin' on pig fat quicker than Richard Simmons can gobble a meat whistle.

Also: See the Atkins Diet thread for my advice on how to *lose* those extra pounds when you become too tubby.

Eat more than a handsized portion whenever you eat. Eat five times a day if you can manage. Don't fully chew your food before you swallow it.

I don't think 3 sets of 5-8 reps will add mass to most people...
