weight gainers are generally garbage, that shit is ok pwo at best. they are usually just an over priced mixture of sugar and whey. your better off grinding up oats with pasteuized eggwhites and a lil something for flavour. i tend to eat lotsa lean red meat when bulking, it has more cals than say tuna or chicken breast. not to mention flavour

too many shakes/protein powder
