Does it really works?
-
u need to train damn hard...to the point of soreness every gym session for it to work...make sure u train to the point that ure body needs the extra ooomph from the weight gainer...Originally posted by FadeToBlack:Does it really works?
i had a damn skinny fren who took it just becos he wanna gain weight....but never gain anything...
my simple reply to him was....
'U never go gym..take that for the past few months.....like no use right...?...u drink it in...come out shit and piss oni becos ure untrained body doesnt have the need to take in the nutrients,calories and protein from the weight gainer'
more info on weight gainers...as u may noe...most bodybuilders take them to mass up....
but the prob is....the high calories...
so i'd rather suggest a normal protein powder....u gain more muscle mass without worrying abt calorie intake.... -
calories is ok rite?
as in there's no fat, cholestrol,sugar,salt, etc..that kinda thing...i.e. unhealthy..
no scientific proof that calories is bad issit? think they say to loose calories is so that u can reduce weight...so ofcuz if you want to gain weight, you have to take in more "energy" in terms of calories?

but tell u....i tried weight gainers b4....
u wanna mix arh,.....need blender sia...it takes me 10 mins just to gulp down the mix...
anywaes...back to ure reply...calories is ok...but some weight gainers come in excess of 300-400 calories....
just make sure u do ure math arh...but if u plan to gain weight..its fine...make sure u train hard so ure body can put the weight gainers into good use rather than turning it into useless shit and piss... -
ok, point taken.
-
oh yuh..one other thing...please be patient....miracles dont happen over a week...take months....minimum ard 3 months hard work arh.....but u'll gradually see an improvement

I don't go gym often, but im planning to do it like once a week, but also i do push ups and dumbell liftings(8kg) at home as well as sit ups..
I'm also hyper-active type, whenever P.E lessons like running, I would do my best.. and also I play sports after school, like soccer and basetball..
So Im wondering if all these activities are good enuf, and so should I buy weight gainer or protein?
Sidetrack, Im also very skinny, I'm 1.8m tall but only 52kg.. -
wat do u want gain then?...weight gainer is ok...but u gotta rack up the weights for sure...but if following ure current activity level....just stick to protein...can gain lean muscle massOriginally posted by FadeToBlack:Thanks for your reply.. But i have more questions:

been taking whey, so far so good loh. if u want to be big sized then go for those weight gainers which are mostly sugars. if u want muscles, go for whey as they dun make u grow fat but helps u in boosting your intake of protein. been training hard, gained abt 1-2 kg bah....if i sleep early everynight i think i will gain more but how early can u sleep if you are an ntu engine student ?!
if ur aim is to have bruce lee figure, here is for u, if u want to be a walking buffalo then here is definitely not for u.
been training my back muscles more, chest haven't been pumping hard. -
Are the wg stuff very hard to drink?
-
its thick.....take it slowly lor...be patientOriginally posted by FadeToBlack:Are the wg stuff very hard to drink? -
yah, pour the powder in then water SLOWLY...if you pour water too fast or pour the powder ontop of the water then i think u know wat is cement mixer liao....Originally posted by Rockhound:its thick.....take it slowly lor...be patient
pour some water in, stir until really can't dissolve then add in some more and repeat loh....its gonna be think like mud....
i recommend Prolab's N-Large 2. more proteins per serving, more servings, more protein and 1/2 the cost....120 bucks can get u a 10 or 12 pound one liao... -
EAS's Mass Factor is good too
you get a solid 50+ gram protein for a mass gainer! -
wow then which 1 should i take... all looks so nice.. i dont have all the money in the world..
-
Budget wise: Optimum Nutrition 100%.
Or the EAS Myoplex Deluxe is not bad too.
If you don't mind paying the $$, you can try the oh-so-overpriced: Nitro-Tech. Haha..
I took Nitro-Tech when I was younger, weighed 54kg and I really grew, I tell you. Hmmm.. taking the Optimum Nutrition 100% now. It's the one in BLACK hor. Don't go and get the Purple one. Purple one is ProComplex.
Actually also not bad lah. Haha.. tried ProComplex before too.
It depends on what you're looking for. If you wanna bulk up, I suggest you do compound exercises (exercises which trains more than 1 part of your body) like lat-pull downs (biceps+latissimus dorsi), bench press (triceps+anterior delts+pectoralis major) and, deadlifts (lower back+traps+hamstrings+gluteaus maximus), squats (quadriceps+gluteaus maximus) etc.
Always consume the supplement within 30mins after your workout. Hmmm try to take about 2 to 3 servings daily! Heh heh..
Bound to see results, I'm quite sure. By the way, don't forget to train legs leh! Or else upper body like potato, then your lower body like toothpick. Very tiring to run (esp when you've done with bulking and wanna get cut)!!
All the best! -
weightgainer...go gnc get the banana flavour one...i think there is onli 1 kind of weight gainer in banana flavour....the front got 3000 printed big big.....forgot the brand.....Originally posted by FadeToBlack:wow then which 1 should i take... all looks so nice.. i dont have all the money in the world..
anywaes...u take it for a few months...then will work...cant work overnight -
i taking ON's 100% Whey too....good, VERY easy to mix. i use a small cup, put in a scoop of it, also can mix until thorough....tried Designer Whey, 1 scoop in a huge mug dat can hold about 300ml...very hard to mix thoroughly.Originally posted by fabiaN__:Budget wise: Optimum Nutrition 100%.

The purple one is more ex, dats pro-Complex, gives u much lesser servings compared to the 100% whey...but got more stuff inside. i support 100% Whey none the less.
Nitro-tech is too ex lah, AFAIK, Hydroxycut is wat makes Muscletech famous overnight, after that they branch into Nitrotech and Celltech, now Pumptech. All are very expensive....i boycott Muscletech' stuff. i only bought celltech once and i think i am not letting them laugh their a$$ off to the bank.
to me
celltech = 90% dextrose, 9% creatine and 1% ALA and wat fark
with the price of 1 celltech, i can get 1.5 kg of creatine powder and enough glucolin to last me through for god knows how long -
Oh yeah it's true. Heh heh.. the Pro-Complex got 55 grams of protein with 2 scoops. Hmmm but nevertheless, I think the Optimum Nutrition 100% is still good. I usually mix 1 scoop of it with milk.
But I don't wanna get too built-up. Haha.. I'm afraid I won't have enough time for such stuff when I enter the Uni and/or working world.
However, if I can achieve something like Vincent Ng's body, I'll be real contented! Haha! 
chunyong: You train often too? Or are you the skinny type? Heh heh..
I'm not very heavy now lah. Last time 54kg lidat.. now around 64kg. Hehe.. -
Ok, what i was thinking was, no matter what i eat i won't gain any weght..
So i was thinking if these products worked to help me gain some weight, if not too skinny not very nice looking.. -
well..it takes time and hard work..Originally posted by FadeToBlack:Ok, what i was thinking was, no matter what i eat i won't gain any weght..

i had a friend take weight gainer for months...nothing happen...
my simple reply to him
u take all this crap...never train...come out piss and shit oni... -
true...and...to make full use of it, NEVER take the recommended dosage...u end up pissing all the stuff out. instead spread out the usage by 1/3, take 3x daily in small dosage is much better than 1 super dosage a day...cos there is only so much your body can take in at a time, all others is pissed out or sh1tted out.Originally posted by Rockhound:well..it takes time and hard work..
