i am trying to gain weight but nothing extreme. i'm 6'4" and about 170lbs but i'm by no means muscular. i'm between skinny and athletic build. basically i was looking at supplement ideas because i really want to get that extra something out of my workouts since currently i dont see much result and i'm still that moderately lanky guy i've always been.

i'm not looking for a body builders physique and i dont want my veins sticking out like garden hoses but i would like to become a bit more toned and well built and i'm not currently seeing the results i want.

purple k is a more efficient creatine product which doesnt produce much creatinine a bi product not easily processed by your liver. Its probably the best way to go for creatine supplementation


as of the other stuff im not too sure ive only tried mass gainers (worked for a bit) shakes, and protein shakes.


Alot of it has to do with genetics. you can only really gain so much muscle mass naturally. If you want to break a plateau youll have to use some supplementation at some point.

nah that would be hella hard to time. how much of a discount is it? if its nothing short of magical then we'll talk but if its not much then i might as well just go to one thats closer since that ones like 40 minutes away.

I think protein shakes are great way to bulk up.

its a 30% discount, so that makes it a little bit cheaper than what you would be able to find online.

I drink whey post workout no matter if I bulk or cut.

Protein shakes arent magic, without real food they are worthless. They will supplement a good nutrition plan. I never took the weight gainer stuff. Just rule of the thumb, dont take cell-tech

protein shake after is great to help the muscles rebuild and grow. if you want to gain weight, get in a lot of carbs almost directly after your workout. really just eat as much healthy food as possible. take a daily multi-vitamin to help also.

i use nitro-tech. but i think that whey protein is whey protein, regardless of brand. needless to say, take a protein supplement daily.

substitute your beefs for chicken and fish. get big, live well.

and to those who say that bodybuilding is superficial, i hope you enjoy being out-of-shape.

with that said, i'm off to get diesel .

if you only weigh 170 go for it

you dont need to worry about calories.
right now im trying to loose weight though

I buy 10lb bags of Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein. The bag has 155 servings at 24g of protein per serving. Its the best tasting protein mix I've experienced and I've tried quite a few.

quick question. the protein powder shit says that im supposed to mix it with cold water. obviously it tastes like ass. why is it that it doesnt say i can mix with milk. i'd think that would take 12352354125357764 times better. is there anything bad about mixing it with milk? ive been contemplating this for awhile and i always dread the end of a workout when i have to make that shake. its the worst 5 second chug ever.

For the most part, they are suggesting that you mix it with cold water because A) being that it is water, it has no solutes in it and the protein should dissolve better; not leaving any chunky crap and B) people generally prefer cold water over warm - the manufacturer wants you to have the best experience with their product so they suggest a method of use that they hope will give the user the best experience with the product. That way you'll use it again and again.

Other than that, you may get a little better absorption with water than milk and also feel a little less bloated.

yeah that makes sense. i dono.. i think i might just try it with milk for awhile. it tastes so bad and its so thin and watery (obviously) with water. if its not gonna fuck with the chemicals and not work or something then fuck it...

Nah, it really comes down to preference; it won't make the protein any less effective.

I found that the absolute most enjoyable way to fix a protein shake is in a blender. Add two servings of the powder, a tray of ice cubes, and two cups of milk. Blend it up and it comes out delicious - a serving for now and one for later. I always made two servings because it was so friggin' time consuming with the blender and clean up and all that. That's the only downside to it.

that sounds damn good. i dont have a blender but me and a friend and a few girls are moving into a house and i'm sure a blender will be an essential purchase.

thanks for the replies and nice new av
