What's up there Jesse, did I get the name right? Hope so. Don't want to offend you straight off. Never the less, I'm pretty impressed with your physique. You look awesome. I could only imagine the work and dedication you must have put yourself through to achieve such results. Regarding your take on weight gainers and supplementation, you need to take a few things into account. One there are thousands of poor souls out there struggling with illnesses of digestion, cancer, and many other conditions that prevent them from gaining weight and trying to become stronger so to extend their life. While your enthusiasm is noteworthy and your message loud you have to take into account those people who like me can't eat a healthy diet each and every day. Some days I don't even have an appetite. What do I do force myself, no! The simple remedy for me is to pick up a liquid meal otherwise, I would disintegrate into nothing. This is where I have to pull your coat, while I value your info and input into the science of bodybuilding, you need to take everyone into account. while weight gainers are not the answer to a majority of your audience, there are those who need them. Keep up your good work, your a credit to humanity. Perhaps you could steer me to a good weight gainer for someone in my situation. Your Friend, Angel P. S. you remind me of the great Frank Zane. The first competitor to beat Arnold Schwarzenegger, if I'm not mistaken. You need to take into account that he Zane, was under six feet tall.

i've used mass gainers back then and i gained 10kg in a month and a week. It is a lot of fat but ofc, there is still noticeable muscle gain, dont judge me. Well ofc it is combined with 4-5 meals daily consisting of complex carbs, healthy fats and protein. Basically it served its purpose as a supplement but still, i do really think that it is not worth it considering the price. And who knows what other compounds are wildly mixed and incorporated in the supplement itself. Ever since then, i have not bought mass gainers. (Maybe i'll do in the future but it is highly unlikely. The only advice i can give for you guys in terms of nutrition is get most, if not, all nutrients from whole foods. It is worth every penny of yours to spend it on the right whole foods.

HELP! I am 15 years old, 5-10 weighing at 110 pounds. I intake about 2500 calories but do not gain weight. I drink a 1000 calories shake in the morning without any protein powder and then eat 2 meals after that not feeling hungry. My shake consists of peanut butter, oats, banana, and milk. I-m thinking about adding serious mass gainer which is 2 scoops per serving with 1200 calories, 50g of protein, and 250g of carbs with 20g of sugar I-m thinking about adding 1 scoop to my original shake so that the carbs to protein ratios won-t be 5 to 1 and it will be 600 Calories with only 10 g of sugar, this will make my shake 1600 calories and it will last longer since I-m using less servings is this a good idea? Please respond

This is just a question for anyone really. My dads in his 50-s struggling with his weight. He-s very thin, and actually started off and On taking weight gainer supplements to maintain his weight. He-s 140 pounds and 6- 1- so kinda skinny. He doesn-t like eating due to unhealthy options at my house. He-s a heavy smoker so working out doesn-t really work for him. What-s a good way for someone like this to gain a little bit of weight? Are there any low impact exercises he could try? If not a supplement, what-s a good healthy ish weight gainer he could eat? Thanks for anyone who wants to give a thought!

i use mass gainers. 1/4 servings or 275 calories at a time, when i need it. my daily prepared diet is 1700 calories for my cutting, just have to add 600 more calories from other sources if im trying to gain, at the end of day if i dont get 2300 calories ill take mass gainers, or will mix 1/4 servings to a scoop of whey after a workout if i cant get a meal after. i take it for convenience, not to replace a meal. the one im taking (san brand) only has 9g of sugar per serving. 95% of carbs came from grains, rice, flaxseed. according to the label. i hope thats true.

Today, I was thinking which Mass Gainer should I get for myself.
Checked online shops and did some reviews about the products that I think would work for me.
Then I came across this video while looking for mass gainer reviews.
Jeff made me realize that you have to commit to a solid diet plan before you start checking on supplements to get the extra edge.
I do have a diet plan now, but it is not yet solid. I am not yet fully committed to it.
So I will disregard mass gainers for now and focus more on my diet plan.

Thanks Jeff!

HELPP! . Im at 15 basketball player who does intense conditioning training hoping on adding mass, who doesn't have a consistent gym routine(but have been lifting for around 8 months) Im 6'0 and weigh 135 lbs. I'm looking to become a lot bigger proportional. I have a 3000-3500ish daily calorie intake and am not gaining nothing. Should i resort to some optimum nutrition mass gainer so i dont just burn off everything I eat? P. S i have a pretty bad digestive system so I cant just force feed.

Mass gainers are good until a extinct. You have to use it on a cycle. Everyone is not Jeff and everyone is not me. So it-s up to the persons body. Just like building muscle without supplements. It-s to each it-s own. I have taken mass gainer and I have stop taking it. When I take it I have to workout extra harder to burn the -horses$&--. But really EVERYONE should be working extra harder to burn whatever you eat. So it-s not the mass gainer is the persons experience.

Full of sugar, might give you diabities. No where does it say get your calories from sugar, once you work out protien and fat intake the rest of your calories needs to be from carbs but your better of getting it from pasta, rice, bread, oats plus you won't be as full from all of the rubbish and just use whey to get there if you can't get it from meat or hemp protien powder. Otherwise you'll just get a beer gut.

I loved and hate athlean x videos at the same time, I hate them because everything Jeff said is true and it-s like a slap on the face for me, but I also loved it because it does wake me up and brought me back to reality, mass gainers is not and never gonna be my magic formula where I just consume it and my muscle will grow, I hereby commit myself to starting a proper nutrition plan in order to build muscle
