GNC is really expensive. I would suggest trying bodybuilding.com to buy supps. Most fitness shops mark up their products like crazy. I made the mistake of buying from places like max muscle the first year I started working out. Really poor quality stuff and they charge you an arm and a leg. |
I have a super high metabolism and I take in 3-4k of calories on a normal day. I was thinking of adding (American Body Builders) ABB XXL ready to drink weight gainers.
Each 24oz drink contains 1090 calories, 54 grams protein, and 215 carbs... I can order a bulk box of 20 for like $40-$50... Whats everyones thought on the product? should I give it a go? |

I use Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Natural (no artificial sweeteners) Bodybuilding.com - Optimum 100% NATURAL Whey - Perfect For Low Fat/Low Carb Diets! On sale now! "Chocolate" + skim milk tastes great IMO. And this is quality protein with added digestive enzymes (lactase) which help prevent that dreaded protein gas. GNC and VitaminShoppe have insane markup. Buy online, there are many sites that give great prices and usually free shipping. |

I too thought I was eating a lot but my 'super high metabolism' was keeping me from gaining weight. My conclusion from a week of monitoring my diet and all physical activity was that although I consumed an average of 3100 calories a day. My caloric expenditure was approximately 3300 calories a day. Which explains why I wasn't gaining weight despite regular weight lifting. In the end, I would suggest that if you aren't gaining weight. Try adding 500 calories a day for a 1-2lb a week mass gain. Remember to eat clean cals not empty cals and try to eat many smaller portions throughout the day rather than fewer big ones. 1100 calories in 1 weight gainer is a lot. I would break that thing into 2 meal replacements and try to eat 6 meals at 5-600 calories. Just my opinion. Good luck. |
I appreciate it I guess I will give these a shot :D

Went to shoprite today after the gym and I bought this EAS 100 Percent Whey Protein Powder - Chocolate
Can anyone tell me if this is any good? It gives 23g of protein, which is little from my knowledge b/c my last protein shake from whole foods was 40g of protein. Does it really matter? I got my eas whey protein for $20.99. Let me know guys! |
Quote:
The 40g in your shake came from 2 scoops (2 servings). I haven't used that product so I can't really say much about it. Just try and see for yourself. Good luck :tup: |
Is anyone familiar with the Fat Burning properties of Acai berries? Or is this just media hype?
|
Quote:
I have no familiarity with the berry but there are many online databases that contain scientific literature, so I would suggest searching for actual journal articles. If you can't find a journal article that supports this claim than its likely to be a farce. There's a "Magic berry" for everything now days. But who knows, maybe it actually works. :stirthepot: |
Do you guys take vitamins and the flaxseed everyday?
|
Blah blah
I was a personal trainer for 4 years. From my experience all you really need is a 100% whey protein, amino acids, multivitamin, creatine and tons of food and water. Along with hard training you'll see results. I'm 6' 260lbs. Used to be 160 lol... Easy formula for muscle :stirthepot:
