I am currently taking Golden Gains post work out but have been contemplating adding a weight gainer to my stack to take throughout the days since I am usually at school and have a hard time constantly eating. Would it be more effective to add a weight gainer or take another serving of GG during the day? I am very lean and want to gain as much mass as possible, not at all worrying about a cut.

I would use GG postowkout, cos it is excellent for that.
If you use a weight gainer, I would caution you to not buy any stupid product that is overpriced/overhyped. get bulk whey protein, and bulk steel cut oats, and combine. very healthy, very cost effective.
In reality, your training program & real food intake will determine your progressions more than any supplement you consume.

blend oats into a powder, i usuaully put in 2 scoops ON whey + 1 scoop oats, been drinking that about 60min preworkout past month or so -- its clutch
I am also in college, kind of... i teach college classes all day and volunter all afternoon most the week...
everyday I wake up real early, cook up breakfeast, brew some green tea for the ride to school... and pack the following:
all my intra/post powders in little tupperware things
an amino acid shake in another one
my preworkout shake in the shaker (i drink it 2hrs after I get to school)
a PBJ/ABJ (almond butter)
one cliff meal protein bar
one detour snack protein bar
an apple
a bag of celery + carrotts
and a burrito (I mass make them every few weeks - similiar to a hot pocket, but better for me, alot cheaper, and actually tastes really really good)
I can go 8-12 hours at school, without leaving the same building, and never getting hungrier than I always am.
not being able to eat during school is just an excuse, and excuses for the weak and average. go be great, it's uncommon.Last edited by jiritt0; 10-06-2009, 01:12 PM.

Also sandaddiction, one thing that I took advantage of everyonce in a while was the dining halls on campus. If ou go to a university, they usually have at least one. Now they mostly have food you dont wanna touch(fatty, greasy, i think you know). At my school, they kept grilled chicken breasts in the back. You might want to check yours and see if you are lucky enough for them to have someLast edited by farmerson12; 10-06-2009, 02:46 PM."Greater love hath no man, than to lay down his life for a friend" John 15:13

get a ton of wraps -- like 30-40 ... get the plain white one's..usually grain wraps suck to roll burritos in, they always crack and break..
a ton of beans.. whatever kinds work, black beans, pinto beans, etc.etc. you can even buy the nifty flavored bean things (mexicanish style ) or you can always throw spices on em to give the same effect
alot of rice.. preferbly brown rice or whatever is healthiest...
cheaper per serving if you buy bulk (think 50lb bags.. some for beans)
we add some cheese sometimes, but i try to be skimpy with that as cheese isnt good for you really.
cook everything up... than warm up burritos real quick in microwave.. and throw in rice, beans, and some cheese... if you wanna add seasonings thats good.. you can even add in corn, peppers, etc... just avoid meat (i think? ive never tried)
once you get burritos wrapped up... use a brush and lightly rub olive oil on the sides ..than throw on the grill until their golden brown..only takes a few minutes really
freeze em up in 2's (or whatever based on your family size) and pull out to eat! can heat up from frozen, but i prefer to let them thaw at least 12hours or so before heating up. they're delicious, quick, very very affordable, and 10x healthier than hot pockets or anything similiar , especially if you get all natural ingredients for everything.
I don't know the exact ratios , but you can really make it how you like... heavier on rice or the beans... i typically make 20-30 at a time with my girl, and eat one almost everyday.
we got the idea from my girlfriends sister, that has 4 kids (3 boys) all under 6yr old... whenever were down there and have a BBQ they grill bulk everything to freeze for a week or so of food... i saw em doing this and was like that is genius!! haha
So far we have averaged around 20 burritos for 25$ (give or take - if my math is right)

i just upgraded to some nice fairly expensive blender a few months back.. its great. I make a ton of shakes/smoothies with it, so def. worth the $
my next bulk dream is to find a local farmer (or any location) that will sell me massive quanties of organic lean meat at a reduced price per pound... I'll prolly need to land a real FT job first, and invest in a spare fridge... but I go through chicken, fish, pork, steak, etc. like nothing.. and the bulk prices at BJ's just don't cut it anymore, and its never organic stuff thereLast edited by jiritt0; 10-07-2009, 05:36 PM.

Just used my old magic bullet and it blended the oats great. So just use a scoop of whey and a scoop of oats plus some milk?Last edited by sandaddiction; 10-07-2009, 06:59 PM.
