wow, that's a lot of ****ing kcals in that product. I would just eat eat eat. If you are 190 lbs, i would take in about 4000 kcals a day and you should be gaining a good amount of weight.

Oh, and make you you get 1.5g-2g per lb of body weight in ya.

I don't know.. I've never tried to gain. My whole life I've been cutting weight and dieting. 190lbs. is a comfortable weight for me to be at and still be solid and toned. But last week I decided that I'm going to try and go up in weight and get a new wieght/muscle growth cycle. ...so we'll see, it should be interesting.

You should gain some weight with that, but be careful how much is good weight and how much is bad weight.

Another point, your body can only process about 30 gms of protein at a time, 73 is way overboard. You could split the shakes up so you have half, then the other half in about 2 hours or so

I don't think there has been a study that showed how much your body can process at a giving time, i believe anyway. If there is, post it, i would like to read it

I am just going on what a good mate of mine who is a clinical nutritionist has told me. He advises supplement companies on content.

And think about it...most Bodybuilding mags are heavily sponsored or owned by supplement companies...as if they are going to say "Buy our protein powder...half of it is useless to you and will eventually affect your kidneys, but get it in ya anyways!"

I swear this is true Tom, I wouldn't post it otherwise

I'm not doubting ya bro, just wondering. I know i take in 1g per lb of bw, which is roughly 170 grams a day.

That is ideal Tom, as long as you don't take it in 60 gm bursts!

Try getting 235 g a day! Honestly, I would be lucky to get 200...

Another thing is that different proteins digest slower or faster thanb others. ie chicken digests slower than powders, but quicker than say protein from a steak. Apparently, this all needs to be considered!

Ya man. I dont usually take in 1.5g per lb, it's hard to do when you dont have the right foods to eat. WHen i bulk i take in that tho. I plan on going on a bulking cycle in october, prolly get up to 185 lbs. I would like to be a solid 180 lbs.

If was 180, I would appear anorexic! People are shocked when I tell them I am 235 - 240.

I'm small as hell, and trying to gain weight. 5'5'' 125 lbs. I was up to 135 but lost it all in a week because of an ear infection. Damn thing.

Anyway, that weight gainer 2200 gold is pretty good stuff. Make sure you only drink one shake a day though. People were right when they brought up good and bad weight. I think it's best to use it after you work out, to refill your body with the nutrients you used up in your work out.

It's better to take in the necessary amount of calories, protein and carbs in your regular diet without a weight gainer. However it's good for that extra boost if you need it.

My major complaint with weight gainer shakes is the price. It gets damned expensive buying that once a month or so.

Cell-Tech from MuscleTech

Cell-Tech was developed by researchers at MuscleTech Reasearch and Development. Cell-Tech is a third generation Creatine supplement that has been scientifically designed to maximize the absorption of creatine into the muscle cells. Another plus abou Cell-Tech is that it has twice as much Creatine per serving as Phospahgen HP.

I was able to gain about 20-25 lbs of lean mass in like 4 months useing cell tech and whey protein. and obviously weight training like a mad man.

Yesterday I bought both the 2200 Gold wieght gainer, and also a thing of GNC pure creatine. Each shake now is one scoop of each mixed with milk. Had my first shake this morning.

My cousin works at GNC so I would get it for free or for like 30 bucks. I think it is sold for 79.99.

It also has some creatine in it

cell tech is way overrated. you can make your own 'cell-tech' a lot cheaper. supplements that are scientifically proven to work are creatine, hmb, glutamine

2% Milk will also put a lot of weight on if you drink a lot of it everyday.

Fury Dragon
08-19-2003, 08:33 PM
I used to drink a **** load of whole milk everyday. I'd even use it with my weight gainer shakes. But drinking so much milk caused me to get congested and led to an ear infection. **** that.
