Gaining weight! Weight gainer 1850 help!

Hey guys.. James here. I' m about 15 years old and currently in the 9th grade and have decided to turn to this forum for some big help. I enjoy sports a lot, especially playing them as well. My favorite sport has always been basketball and currently, I am in my high school' s junior varsity football program, trying out as a cornerback. I have exceptionall speed as well =]. Well, a physical description of myself .. I currently stand at a height of 5' 4' ' -5' 5' ' , I weight about 110 (which I am so sad to say), I have small bones and I have a skinny build.The thing is that being skinny runs in my family and I think I may have gotten being skinny and underweight from my grandfather, who is very tall (about 5' 9" ) but only weighs about 130-145.. I' d say my nutrition is well balanced. I try to avoid junk foods and stick with the good and healthy food such as rice, chicken, vegetables, milk, etc ..

Now to get to the point. I want to gain more weight! My parents have always told me the key to gaining more weight is to eat more.. I have been doing that for the past few years and it doesnt seem to work. I wasn' t really expecting a lot from eating more. One thing I will point out is I DO have a high metabolism! I do eat a lot but you know, I end up ****ting everything out maybe a day or 2 days later ..

Like I said, I' m in the schools JV football program trying out for cornerback. Unlike most students, I lack confidence and that lack of confidence can be balmed on my self-esteem? Why do I have a low self-esteem? My weight. My body. I have a lot of confidence in my speed and strength but weight seems to e the problem.

Recently, I just bought some Weight Gainer 1850 from my local GNC store in order to help in my quest to gain weight and help my body get bigger. The container of weight gainer i bought gives approximately about 5 servings and I would hate to waste all that in less than 2 weeks, considering the fact it was over 25 bucks in total. Is there any way I can make the most out of Weight Gainer 1850 without wasting it in less than 2 weeks I was always reccomended that I still continue to work out and drink the weight gainer at the same time. I will do that

Will anyone be willing to help? Any suggesyions or comments would be greatly appreciated

Eat your weight gainer and then do not by it again. Here is what I want you to do, food wise (I am assuming you are working out).

Eat 7 times per day. Get your blender out.

Go to www.proteincustomizer.com and order 20 pounds of their whey casienate protein, whatever flavor you like. It' ll cost around $100, but that is cheap as hell for that much. Also order, separately 10 pounds of Dextrose. Its like 20-30 dollars.

Wake up and take your blender out.

Meal 1: 3 cups of whole milk in the blender. Add 1 cup of protein powder. Add 2 bananas. Add 2 scoops of ice cream. Blend

Meal 2: 10 am -- Eat 2 peanut butter sandwhiches on whole wheat bread.

Meal 3: Lunch -- good source of protein and carbs (chicken and rice).

Meal 2: 3pm -- Eat 2 peanut butter sandwhiches on whole wheat bread.

4:30 LIFT

5:30 drink asap after lifting in a shaker, 1 cup of protein and 1 cup of dextrose

7: Dinner, same as lunch

10: before bed -- Blend: 3 cups of whole milk in the blender. Add 1 cup of protein powder. Add 4 scoops of peanut butter. Add 2 scoops of ice cream. Blend.

Put 1/2 cup of protein in a cup in the bathroom. Wake up at 3 AM. Add water and down it. Back to sleep.

Guartanteed to add serious weight.

BTW, he' s serious. But he knows his ****.. I wish I knew him when I was 16.

But he' s right.

I am an ectomorph. In high school if I weighted 130lbs that was a really really good week.

And I took a weight gainer.. it worked.. I ran out of money, or didn' t go to the store again.. gone.

So while you may **** out food in 2 days, you will be ****ting out money out of the wallet just as fast for the same phantom gains.

Besides, eating on a routine like Twin Peak establishes a really good structure for eating on a schedule and eating healthy. Weight gainers are cool but they are not real. If you have a perfect (or near perfect diet) and you need the extra 10lbs for football or a competition or something.. fine.. but from the sounds of it.. you don' t have the diet as tight as you could. No offense. I ate too but I didn' t eat a lot on a regular basis when I was in high school. I ate one big meal.. then snacked then ate again but that' s not the same.

Not saying you are doing this.. just making the assumption you are having trouble gaining weight like me.

You see.. the issue you will have at 15 is the magic pill syndrome. I did. I want a solution. But I didn' t understand how much hard work it was gonna be to put on quality weight. I turned to just supplements. But dude.. no offense, if you don' t do some kind of routine like TP is suggesting, then no magic pill will help.

Supplements are to supplement a healthy diet, good nutritional program and intense workouts. No weight gainer is gonna pack on quality muscle in weeks that will make you feel good.

For example, lets say you get to 130lbs.. Wow! But then something happens.. you are 15 and unless you are independently wealthy, you have an allowance or part-time job. It goes away. You get a girlfriend. Your buds wanna go out this weekend. You run out of WeightGainer 5000.. you are screwed!

But if you are eating real foods, making the most of a simple protein power, no problem my man. It' s real food.. on a real schedule. You can probably always get food from home.. Mom and Pop.. but nobody in their right mind is gonna keep handing you $25.00 every 2 weeks for stuff that the minute you quit.. bye bye gains.

I hope you understand. Follow what Twin Peak is trying to tell you. He' s saying if you are dedicated it will work. If not, buy the powder.. run out of money.. see them gains go bye bye and you' ll be back to square one.

Don' t make the same mistake I did.. if I had eaten like Twin Peak suggested at 16.. jez dude.. I' d be bigger then I am now by far.. I only figured this stuff out at 30.. YES.. 30... So my mistake can be your salvation.

Good luck. Keep us posted please.

I didn' t know you spoke French, TwinPeak.

For those who have already bought the weight gainer 1850. How often should you take it and in what dosage?

Hmmm this sounds like a good diet plan... Are you sure the panut butter sandwiches though? What would be the point of eating the peanut butter sandwiched instead of like maybe chicken and a bowl of brown rice? And waking up at 3 a.m? Sounds like a pain in the ass but spring break is comin up and I don't think Im doin **** so 10 pounds of muscle mass here I come!!

http://www.blackstarlabs.com/?cPath=21&products_id=150

Is that the whey casienate protein? I looked for like 15 min, and that was the nearest thing I found.

I am going to really try this diet TP, and I was wondering how much weight I would gain over how long? I am current 6'3, 155 lbs, 4.3% body fat. I am hoping to get to 175-180 by aug. 15 (currently april 30th). If you have any estimates of how much weight I will gain in what timeframe, it would be most appreciated!

I don't know about you guys, but I used the GNC weight gainer 1850 and gained 20 pounds in 2 or 3 months, but for some reason, the product gave me chest/heart pains. Anyone know what this could have been. Needless to say, I don't use the product any more. I'll see what happens by eating more.

^^ uppin...

I'm 18 years old, 5'11, 130 lbs. I bought Weight Gainer 1850 last wednesday and have been using it once a day in the afternoons, I eat 3 meals a day in addition to that. I mix the 1850 with scoops of peanut butter and icecream. Is this the track I'm supposed to be on, or is it really necessary for me to lift weights. And why does 1850 work for some people and doesnt for others. Im too small....:(..help

Put 1/2 cup of protein in a cup in the bathroom. Wake up at 3 AM. Add water and down it. Back to sleep.

I will try this .... seem to be freak :)

this is what i've been looking for :) finally nice to see this.. Thanks TP... I was looking for a good protien shake too.. God, now i can start finally doing what i've wanted to do.. Some told me eat alot of peanut butter i still do.... Can i replace some of those pb sandwhiches with regular meat ones?

Actually I started taking the GNC 1850 Weight Gainer about 6 weeks ago to help with my bulking phase.

I didn't need to add that many (1850) calories so I just do 1/3 the serving and add a scoop of peanut butter to it for some additional plavor an protein.

I have gained 5 punds in 6 weeks since adding that to my diet (going for a bf test this afternoon).

I think TP is right on the money, but for what it's worth, this seemed to work well for me giving me the extra calories/carbs/protein that I needed.

ORIGINAL: The Skinny
Is this the track I'm supposed to be on, or is it really necessary for me to lift weights.

While I'm new in the fitness world, I'd gather if you want to gain muscle vs gaining fat, you should incorporate a weight lifting routine :) All the protein you're consuming won't help unless your muscles require it

Mrjames, I'll try to give you some advice since I know what you're going through.

To put it simply, and like TP said, drink the shakes any time you can. Drink them at breakfast, post workout, and before bed.

Two years ago I stood 5'10" 180 lbs and lanky. Now I am 6'1" 240 lbs. as a 15 year old. Trust me, protein can help you out a lot. Make sure you lift hard though, b/c protein won't lift for you. I honestly can look in the mirror and tell if I've been drinking my shakes or not.

hey dudes im new...ab 2 months ago i decided i was tired of being 135 so i decided to go to gnc and see what they had to offer... the dude hooked me up with weight gainer 1850.. IT WORKED .. he told me to take it 3 times everyday and i would bulk up like crazy .... he wasnt lyin ..i weigh 170 now... i work out like mon. wed. and fri. and never miss a day..but im worried ab getting off the stuff...i mean what happens? do u lose weight when u stop? please help

Nothing should really happen. It's just extra calories protein, carbs and such. You'll just have to make up for it somewhere else in your diet or you'll start losing weight.


Edit: You sure dug this one up.

1001, 1002, 1003. Ohh, it's a deep burn! It's so deep! Oh, I can barely lift my right arm because I did so many. I don't know if you heard me counting, but I did over a thousand.

Weight Gainers do work, but it takes a lot of work and you must have a strong stomach or it will make u sick. Very sick!

Weight 160
Height 5'10
Bench 200

weight gainers work but, if you stop, you will lose 50% + gains.

I used it before and many of my friends did and we all lost our gains.

3 servings daily is a lot of extra calories you are putting into your body and then when you stop, (cut your caloric intake in half), you will lose some of the gains. Some will lose 25% and others 75% to all. (depends how consistant of workout you do and hows your eating).

I know a friend that went thru many (10lb) of weight gainer and everytime he stop using it he lost all his gains. So there you see how much money he wasted. It works while you on it, but once you stop, you will lose some of your gains. only solution If you stop is that you got to try to eat extra food to balance for stoping your w.g..

thats my experience with it.

weight gainers are just whey and sugar mostly, theres nothing special about them. if you eat more calories than you burn off you gain weight.

food is the better option but we each have to deal with our own situation and what we can do at what times.

Hey, just my two cents.....weight gainers do work, but not because they're some magic potion or anything. It's just calories, protien and sugars. So, you can spend you're $25 and get your calories at an inflated price, or you can spend your $25 and get your calories from food....I assume you live at home as a 15 yo, maybe ask your parents to keep some higher protien sources in the house. At your age, you're still growing, so a lot of the fuel you put into your system is going to be used for growth overall, then muscle. You're a lot more likely to add a couple more inches in height and maybe another 20lbs, than add 40lbs right out the door. So, like everyone else here is saying, work on increasing your protien, and hit the wieghts! That is a huge part of getting bigger and stronger. You seem to be very focused on your speed....weight training will not slow you down, in fact it can help you get faster, especially leg work. Look at sprinters...they have huge legs, and they really work them hard. So, good luck, I remember what it was like being 15 and not sure about yourself. Just remember, as soon as you get something like this going, it's going to take a little time. So don't quit, keep hitting the weights, and keep eating.
