Weight gain shakes



Think of calories as a weekly total, and try to hit the same surplus every day. Are you looking to put on weight or is it due to higher activity levels?
 
What’s your weight and how many cals do you have on a usual day before thinking about these shakes?
 
More calories for what, energy during the day, increased cardio performance or size gain / maintenance ??

The content and necessity of the shake, or anything else, is dependent on what you’re trying to achieve so need this before giving any advice

All of them tbf. Gym is more for stress release but might as well get ripped in the process.

Been boshing an extra 400 calories a day for two weeks and still the same weight ffs.

Had a look online and there's talk of five meals a day etc. Not sure I can be chewed with that like.

400 calories *14 days = 5600 cals
3000 cals = 1lb in bodyweight

So 400 cals a day for two weeks should be less than 2 lb

Not that it's linear anyway and should only be used as a guide but 400 cals a day for 365 day is nearly 3.5 stone

It's not weight you want to put on it's muscle, 3 stone of fat on you isn't going to be great no matter how skinny you are.

A good all over body workout with weights 3/4 times a week and eat excess calories but not too many as muscle is hard to build and eating too many excess calories will just turn to fat. If you want a decent weight training program I can point you in the right direction but don't make your own one up because it will be shite.

400 calories extra a day and see where you are in 3 months will be optimal, don't be despondent after a fortnight.

It's a marathon not a sprint, etc

It took you your whole lifetime to look like you do, you won't change body composition in a fortnight.

If lifting weights judge yourself by how strong you're getting not what you look like in the mirror. If you're a complete newb you can double your strength in about 4 months. All about the lifestyle rather than a quick change. If you do most things right you will get there but Rome wasn't built in a day.

It's not even that much effort, sort your diet out, sleep well and in the gym 4/5 hours a week, fuck all if you compare it to how much time you spend reading shite on the internet or bollocks on here etc.
