Not sure how much stock some people put in these things, but True Mass won Bodybuilding.com's mass gainer of the year award.

I can vouch for it myself, as it's what I mostly use. Mixes well, tastes good, and has all you need in a weight gainer.

BSN True Mass or Cytogainer by Cytosport.

Met-RX Size UP is veryy good, has high quility complex carbs and added creatine. and it comes is PB Chocolate. Cytogainer is also a awesome shake. in off season i always used a weight gainer shake PWO and it worked out very well.

true mass taste way to damn sweet with only about 3grams sugar per serving yea right something is wrong there in my opinion...Up your mass would be a better choice if you do your research and look at whats in it...even real gains is good just the taste is different....both at good prices also

True Mass taste like s...! But the ratio is quite good. I would prefer (If you don't make your own) IDS'. It taste superb and has great value for both micro and macro nutrients.

Isolyze? Carbolyze? micro and macro nutrients? Can you guys explain what these are and what they do,im in the dark here

Isolyze is a weight protien isolate shake, and carbolyze is a carb drink, Dave Palumbo's company Species makes them, they are really good quality products

I'd say make your own, use a high quality whey protein isolate (cold filtered or better grade) and carb and add in EFAs, toss it in with a pack of jell-o mix and you have a superior MRP/weight gainer with ingredients you can change based on your goals, great texture/taste and much cheaper on the wallet, no need to buy more supplements than necessary.

Does species make a weight gainer? (I'm too lazy to look myself, LOL)

By the way, never get this fucking shit: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/un/mj.html

I got 12 pounds of this garbage, thinking it would be good. It was a bargain, and SECOND on bodybuilding.com's supplement awards list for best mass gainer.

Now I'm stuck with 12 pounds of the sweetest, smoothest, most SHIT INDUCING protein powder known to man. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!

Weight Gainers(premade) are a joke

I'm starting to agree with you.

crashcrew56
04-09-2009, 07:27 PM
no species doesn't make a weight gainer, the problem with a lot of premade weight gainers is they don't mike well adn usually they are made with crap/lower grade ingredients

I've only used two 'weight gainer' types of protein. MuscleTech...which tasted like ass and AtLargeNutrition's Maximus.

AtLarge was better hands down, no contest. I'm a pretty big eater, but to have a meal PLUS the shake...work....hard work!!! But still loved the stuff and was strong as an ox while taking it. No shortage of taste and everything but the kitchen sink is in far as vitamins/minerals go.

Not sure about the overseas shipping on it, might be pretty costly.

if you want a good tasting one...Champion Nutrition Heavyweightgainer 900 chocolate tastes amazing.

Two scoops of isolate, 1 cup of oatmeal and a tbsp of peanut butter or mac nut oil is the way to go.

If you use a good protein powder, oats and natural peanut butter you are going to spend less and you'll know what the quality of the ingrediants are.

Otherwise I'd say True Mass if you're set on getting a pre-made.

I'm with others on making your own.

Two Scoops Whey Isolate
2 TBSP Peanut Butter or 1 TBSP Mac Oil
.5 - 1 Cup of Oats

Blend and you're good to go. Way cheaper than weight gainer and higher quality ingredients.

If you like and need a gainer to put on mass, I do say I like BSN True Mass mixed with milk. Mmmmm.

out of the three true mass is the best in my opinion, the only one that acutally gives fats.... but i make my own, if its conveince, use a gainer, but i also liek universal's real gains,

Would just good old food do the trick?

If you're looking for a PWO drink, just use 50g WPI, 1.5cups oats and milk or water. Why pay for something that may not be any good.

REAL GAINS from UNIVERSAL works..period.

I'm with anabolic47 on this, you can customize the amt of macronutrients and other supplements you put in there for your specific needs.

I have tried Cytogainer and true mass. True mass wins for taste but for overall results I think they are pretty close. I would go with True Mass because it has a couple little extras that Cyto does not have.

militantmuscle

cytogainer tastes amazing, but the amt of calories that it and every other weight gainer has isn't necessary for maximum muscle gain.

Out of the three listed, Serious Mass

Wouldnt this shake come out to only around 40-50g of carbs? The gainers mentioned at the beginning have a much higher carb count. This does look like it would taste good though:D

I think the best quality gainer is Ultimate Nutrition's Iso Xtreme Gainer

ehhh up your mass was ok, yet i still like the blend in Pro complex gainer, and True mass is solid as well, i jsut hate the corn syrup solids in it
