To gain mass..Weight Gainer Vs Whey?

borntolive SG

which to choose

when i 1st started out i choosed whey but slight improvement

when i switched to weight gainer my weight shot up..

But when i ask this qn in other forums, they commented weight gainer is useless n adds unnecessary calories which will turn to fats Sad ..well its kinda true cause my tummy got more fats than before but i see weight gain leh

so weight gainer ? or whey?

zanza SG

Imho , it depends on why u want to gain weight.

To become heavier because u got increased muscle mass, go for the whey protein.

To gain weight if you have high metabolism and your too skinny, go for the weight gainer.

Simon Dean SG

some weight gainers contain A LOT of sugar.

borntolive SG

In your opinion take wad? i cant gain too much fats as i going for bmt soon..thats why cant bulk properly....

TAKE WHEY

Simon Dean SG

and dont forget to take some carbs before drinking your whey, insulin release=better protein absorption.

I wanna gain some weight and size cuz I'm a bit skinny. I roller blade every weekend for a few hours and I've got high metabolism. So I should take... Weight gainers?
I just bought GNC Weight Gainer 1850 and I've only taken it once. Should I just keep on taking them everyday until I finish them (one cup per day) or only after my roller blading session? Btw, I don't do weights because of my working schedule :/

borntolive SG

well u can try taking weight gainer but be careful with it...u must do some exercises to build healthy weight or else all that u will gain will be mostly fats....if u r not exercising dont bother wasting yr money on weight gainer

Robotics999 SG

I heard from the lady also. But because I only roller blade once/twice a week, so I don't know when I should take them. She said "take daily provided you got do excerise" But since I workout once a week, so I take them once a week? Sounds logical right?

borntolive SG

err roller blade isnt a good excercise...do u pant alot n sweat? even if u do it isnt as good as other cardio activities like jogging, swimming etc....

n besides exercise doesnt only mean only doing cardio or aerobic activities...u have to do weight or resistance training cause by doing cardio or aerobic exercise ONLY u r merely using up the calories in weight gainer..Motive of weight gainer is to gain weight

I HEARD FROM MY FRIEND HE DRANK 2-3 TIMES PER DAY AND FINISH THE DAMN TUB IN 2 WEEKS BUT HE GAIN ALOT OF FAT LA PLUS, HE ALSO CONSTANTLY GO GYM THAT 2 WEEK

borntolive SG

actually no need to follow directly to instructions on the tub itself...cause the weight gainer will be used up pretty fast like in 1 or 2 weeks n tis pretty expensive to buy...

my suggestion is to lower the amout of powder to add but at same time increase yr amt of food u take especially high protein n carbo food...if u take wieght gainer but dont have good meals it will be useless...the most important is to have heavy enough n nutritious meals...

weight gainer is a SUPPLEMENT n its meant to supplement wad u eat not replace

Robotics999 SG

I no stamina, so don't like running Confused I can't swim Crying or Very sad So i blade loh Very Happy
Maybe I'll go down to the fitness corner at my void deck to do pull ups, sit ups and push ups bah.. these considered as resistance training?

forum_dude SG

HE ATE ALOT OF FOOD TOO THEN BECOME A PIG AFTER 1 MONTH CCB

borntolive SG

actually from yr earlier post u said u r too thin, actually doing too much aerobic can make u even thiner lehz...

stamina can be train one la...if u dont pant means u r not working hard enough

Robotics999 SG

Yah... I like roller blading, but too much (cardio) will get thinner. and I do pant.
That's why I'm looking into weight gainers to gain weight (and size). But from what I understand from the posts, I still need to do resistance and weight (which I don't like) and cut down on roller blading/cardio.
Crap... Confused

Simon Dean SG

then do pull ups or plyometrics

Robotics999 SG

plyometrics?
I seached in WIKIPEDIA but the explaination I don't get it...

forum_dude SG

THEN JUZ DO PULLUP LO

PULLUP NTRAIN ALOT OF MUSCLES
