So I mentioned this a little in my intro thread...but I was wondering what weight gainer you guys recommend.
All my life I've been a "hard gainer". I've been able to out-eat 300lbs men like it's nothing (I'm 140lbs) and not see an extra ounce. On top of that I've been in the Army for 9 years now, where we are required to do A LOT of cardio. Running 3-4 miles every day or every other day doesn't exactly help you gain weight. Most need it to keep their body fat % at/under the Army Standard and to make sure that our run time for the PT Test is at the appropriate level. I have FINALLY gotten into a job where I can actually hit the gym like I want to - about every day after work. But before I go out and buy some bull**** products that don't work and develop an ineffective workout routine I figured I'd ask the experts- namely you guys. Any suggestions are welcome weather it's diet/workout/supplements/etc.
Just as a starter - one question I have that I haven't been able to get a straight answer on is - What's the best weight-gainer? Ok, yea, I've heard "dude just get the one with the most calories and protein"...but most have like 6 servings per jug at like $60 a pop! Not to mention drinking a gallon of this crap a day is next to impossible...let alone maintaining any sort of diet when you're always full of shake-mix!!! I'm trying to develop a better diet and workout routine...with help from the tools on this site, of course (the workout and diet tracker...not the members on this site, lol).
Thanks.
