I agree with Tony to some degree. The specific protein, however, should be whey protein. Whey contains a high concentration of the branched chain amino acids which are specifically used by muscle. More specifically it is the leucine in whey which initiates muscle protein synthesis at the molecular level. As to training yes weight training is important but do not forget the cardio/ Best is a mix of the two.

I’ve tried many weight gainers over the years and the Dr Max Powers Anabolic Stack is amazing. It goes down super easily with water without any residue or particles. It doesn’t fill you up or leave you bloated, apparently that’s how it kickstarts your body’s anabolic processes. The fact that it isn’t heavy or bloating also allows you to keep eating and really pack on those calories you need to build muscle.

Give me great work outs.

“high in fats and carbs”…why is that good nutrition? How about lean protein, complex carbs and monounsaturated fats as a base, coupled with a structured strength training (weight lifting) program that will transform your body. Why do people recommend hight fat; high carb diets that just end up putting on adipose tissue? Just stop it! He doesn’t want to look like a pumpkin. He doesn’t want to just weigh more…he wants to look solid! Not pudgy, squishy, jiggly fat. Get it?

So Rowan,

Do you want to gain “weight”? We use that term too loosely. I bet you want to gain muscle and not fat. Otherwise, you’ll end up being a soft, pudgy blob and still feel like crap. So you need to do the strategies that body builders use to put on muscle. That’s a structured strength training program coupled with a diet that is “clean” in its foods and provides a caloric excess. No junk food, adequate protein, complex carbs, plenty of fruits and vetables and utilize protein powder shakes/smoothies for supplemental calories. Join a good gym where the trainers know the business of proper old school weight training. Eat the right foods in the right amounts and don’t do a lot of cardio. I don’t care if you are 20 or 60, you can make gains.
