This past couple of weeks I’ve been getting a few emails about weight gain supplements. There are a lot of weight gain products on the market and some of the readers of this blog are confused about what weight gain products they should be using.
I’m a true ectomorph, 6′2″, very slim build, thin frame, long stringy muscles. I am no stranger to weight gain products. My body type requires a lot of calories to grow. When I started weight training I was 126 pounds, now I am 205. Weight gain shakes have been a staple in my diet for the past 3 years.
So what are the best weight gainers?
There are 2 weight gain products that i recommend to others. They are…
Why do I like these weight gainers?
- They’re good value for money
- They have lower sugar contents than other weight gainers
- They have less fat that other weight gainers
- They taste good (I’ve tried choc and strawberry in both products)
- They provide the amount of calories I need
I recommend both of these products to anyone with a thin build or who is having trouble getting the daily calories they need to increase strength and build muscle. Have a shake first thing in the morning, between meals, post workout and before bed.
Any questions just post in the comments below:





Hi,
In water, CytoGainer has 140mg of Cholesterol. That’s about 46% of the %DV. Don’t you think it is too much. Also, N-Large2 has 28g of sugar per serving, (112 calories just from sugars) which sounds very high to me. Seems like BSN is a more balanced weight gainer. Haven’t tried it yet though.
How long did it take you to gain that weight?? Im about 5′9″ and 125 and i would just to get to around 160ish. Hearing that makes me think it is possible. Do you think i can get to that by having a good diet and a weight gainer. Or should i work out also.
If you eat more food/weight gainer and don’t workout you’ll gain fat and not muscle.
im 6′2″ 155 and i just got BSN true mass i have a really fast metabolism is this a good weight gainer and how many times a day should i take it. (and i do lift)
