## Description

Putting on size requires a balance of heavy training and quality nutrition. Because everyone's a little different, some have a harder time packing on muscle than others. Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Pro Gainer is a high-protein formula delivering calories that count during recovery. Each shake provides ample supplemental protein, carbs, vitamins and minerals to build on the amount you're getting through a balanced diet of food. Use Pro Gainer as your post-workout recovery shake and/or high-protein meal between meals.

Review: High quality calorie gainer / meal replacement - As an amateur/hobby bodybuilder, this single product has become a staple in my diet over the past 3 years. When I started getting serious about lifting again out of college, I had dropped to 145lbs from my previous high of 175lbs. My metabolism is fast, and I simply had trouble keeping up for a number of reasons: time, money, and the difficulty eating the calories I needed in solid foods. I then found this product, which has helped all three of those issues. VALUE - At approximately $2.25 a serving (when using subscribe and save), this is one of the cheapest quality 650 calorie meals you can provide your body with. I found this to be much more cost effective than trying to put together my own meal. Thanks to desertcart's subscribe and save, the prices compete with the other bigger online supplement retailers and I don't have to worry about re-ordering. PERFORMANCE - I can drink an entire serving in 2-5 minutes without feeling bloated/sick (taste ranges from acceptable to good - banana cream and vanilla are must tries). I have one serving every morning, and one at some point after my workout and before bed. This accounts for 1300 of my 3500 daily calorie intake. For me, without the aid of liquid weight gainers - it would be impossible to achieve my calorie goals and gain lean mass. I especially would struggle in the morning -- I often don't have time to prepare a good meal, and have trouble eating too many solid foods first thing in the morning. Also - understand that while 60 grams of protein a serving may seem like too much, this is not 60 grams of pure whey protein that is metabolized very quickly. It is packed with 7 sources of protein (faster and slower metabolized proteins) so it takes several hours for your body to metabolize the protein. RESULTS - When used with a high quality, high calorie diet and proper lifting routine - this product can help you achieve your daily calorie requirements and consequently gains in lean mass. I have used this product to raise my weight from 145lbs to 187lbs while keeping body fat under 8%. Highly recommend this product over cheaper gainers with more sugars/poorer quality calories. FYI - If you have the time, I recommend following the blending instructions provided. However, if you are short on time - a shaker bottle is best. The blender mixes the product so well, that it will take you 2-3x longer to drink since the volume of product is increased just due to being "frothy" from the blender. While the blender taste cannot be beat (and less water can be used to get good mixing results), a high quality shaker bottle does work well for this stuff as well with 20-40 seconds of shaking and the correct amount of water. You sacrifice taste for a shake that takes less time to drink.
Review: Would definitely recommend for anyone bulking - I am a longtime "hardgainer"; I started as being 6'0 120 pounds 15% body fat my freshman year of high school. I have been taking regular protein supplements throughout and have seen decent gains. I am now a sophomore in college and was 6'0 156 lb and body fat of 9% when I started taking this product. Now after about a month of taking this product I am 163lb with a body percentage of about 11.5%. Considering that im bulking right now and have no problem gaining fat at the moment (not to attribute the fat to this product alone, I have been eating alot of fatty foods recently) . I have seen plenty of gains with this product and would definitely recommend it. I came up across this product while seeing the Optimum Nutrition Gainer (the green packaged one) and the Macros seemed better on this one. It focuses on the protein with decent carbs and not too overwhelming empty calories. With one serving you get 60 grams of protein!! I really enjoy this product because it can also serve as just a regular protein suppliment if you take half a scoop right after your workout giving you 30 grams of different kinds of proteins (whey, casin..ect) I recommend taking half a serving (3/4ths of a scoop) right after a workout and another during the day or right when you wake up. Keep in mind that this product alone will not increase muscle mass it needs to be combined with a healthy diet and heavy weight training program. I would certainly not recommend this product as "meal replacement" alone because it will defeat the purpose it would be better if you ate real food instead. What I do recommend is making a meal replacement smoothie my recipe is 1 cup of whole milk, 1 banana, 1 cup of oats, 1/2 serving of Pro Gainer and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter plus ice. This meal replacement is great because you get a whole bunch of Protein, Carbs and Natural Fats. If you eat this in the morning it really aids in fulfilling your daily Macro requirements. Overall taste is great; one of the best protein drinks i have tasted imo. Would definitely recommend if trying to add size. Some people say Gainers are not worth it but in my experience it really aids in meeting my macro requirements for the day. Hope this helps!
