hi guys,
ive been following this site for a long time now...
and finally decided to make a post since iv`e started my supplements 9 days ago.
I have a problem gaining weight, im currently about 55kg but my weight flactuates to fast its hard to keep track of it...im almost 18yrs
some day im 54.2 the other im 55.4... (Been training without supplements for over a year now)
my training is: 1day train, 1day rest

Supplements im using.

I take these on training day
BSN Truemass - 3 scoops (600 cal) -- immediatly after workout
BSN Syntha 6(protein) - 1 scoop (200 cal) -- before i sleep
MHP Glutamine-SR - 1scoop before i sleep and 1 in the morning

I take these on rest day
BSN Truemass - 1 scoops (200 cal) -- in the morning
BSN Syntha 6(protein) - 1 scoop (200 cal) -- in the morning or throughout the day


any suggestions would be appreciated, even suggestions about "better" products or to increase my intake or something.
my aim is to gain muscle growth and look a bit bulky.

thank you.

(Ps excuse me if this post is not in the right place, as you can see im new to the forums)

Hey

It sounds like you're weighing yourself too frequently, once a week is fine, more and you'll drive yourself mad wondering why your weight goes up and down (which is down to hydration levels, amongst other things... think how heavy a 2 litre bottle of water is). Anyway, weight yourself once a week, same time every week. Some weeks you might get odd results even then but you will see a trend over time, just stick with it.

As for supps, they are not the magic formula to weight gain, just a more convenient way of getting protein. What you have is fine. If you're not gaining weight don't blame the supps, the key to geining weight is to follow a routine to the letter i.e. Mark's THT programme with either the MANS or GLAD diet. Don't neglect the diet, it's just as important as the exercise. Don't miss breakfast, eat often and you'll be fine. I gained 6kg following THT and eating 5 times a day and I wasn't taking any supps at all, and I also find it hard to gain weight, so it is possible. Good luck!

tnx for the response,

ill check out the THT program and try to eat as much as i can spreaded over time, its a bit difficult for me to acomplish it since i go to school and i dont rly have much time to consume 5 meals throughout the day..

Definitely check out the THT programme, don't try to make your own, there's no point when you have access to one proven to work (and it's free). With the meals, you will find a way if you really want to. You can always bring a can of tuna with you, or make scrambled eggs the night before and bring them with you in a tupperware. Even a glass of milk will help. But if you're only eating breakfast, lunch and dinner then you will miss out on the real gains. It's not that you're a hard gainer you just might not be eating enough.

Try not to fall into the trap of buying protein supplements that are full of sugars and fats unless you're going for mass.
The beauty of this is that you can diet down afterwards.
Personally, I can't even look at anything with carbs in it, although I'm trying longjack soon to see if it , combined with tribulus and zma will boost my testo, which will in turn burn more fat

Slabbie ... I started taking this about a month ago. I'll let you know how it works out for me ...

I used to use Promax and Promax Extreme when I lived in the UK, both are good. The plain old Promax is the best I think.
