The sugar is outrageous. A weight gainer is just one route you can take, but learning how to take in good, clean calories is more important.
For a homemade gainer shake, try this: 16 oz milk, 1 C oats, 1 scoop of protein, 1 Tbsp of PB. Low GI carbs, quality protein, and good fats make the ideal bulking meal.

Lmao, that is so overkill. 480 carbs in 1 shake!! I shoot for that in 1 day. Most good weight gainers seem to be around 600-800 cals per shake... this one has 2150. Also see that there is only 9.3 servings. There are much better gainers out there than this one, IMO; with solid foods being better than all of them.

Thats what i thought it was overkill. I was using bsn truemass and im out of it and need to buy something fast but the true mass was kinda pricey. I was looking for something cheaper and came up with this.

Home made weight gainers are the best man. Check around, I'm sure theres some recipes around here for weight gainer shakes.

I know some guys that make some shakes in a blender with the powder, they got the oats in there for the carbs, the natty PB in there for the fat, and they can get 600-800 cals in on shake in there, and it's probably more cost effective as well.

I won't say all are useless, I am quite fond of Up Your Mass and Micellean/Zero Impact MRP's. They may not be cheap, but stuff comes up and I use them for emergency purposes, not as necessaties.

I've been using cytogainer lately. Never used a weightgainer before, I'm only using it cuz I'm on cycle right now and I don't have to worry as much about fat gain. Off cycle I don't use them though.

I use weightgainers pretty regularly and I think they have there place. It seems to me that a lot of them set their serving size to equal one days worth. The one you referred to does have an awful lot of sugar, but if split into three-one scoop skakes a day in addition to your healthy meals it would pack on some pounds of some kind.:donut:

I like cytogainer (lactose free) and champion super heavyweight gainer (moderate lactose). Both taste excellent too. :cheers: Muscle Milk collegiate look quite similar to a weightgainer too. It has 40g protein, 89g carbs, 7g fat, 5g sugars, 580 calories in a 150g (4 scoop) serving.
