High Octane Shakes

[JKurz1]

Any of you had experience with high octane shakes (calories) i.e. cytogainer, true mass, etc. Before I go out and get one (I know we dont need em, but I figure If I pop 2-3 a day, it'll help me boost the cals..........esp. pw....just wanted to know flavors and results......would you buy again assuming money isnt an object. YES I DID SEARCH and most are from 2005 or earlier....not too much on results or taste and at 6lbs a pop, I dont wanna flush it....no pun intended!

I had great results using cytogainer. I was expecting to gain a lot of fat since it isn't exactly clean, but I didn't. BUT, I had to stop using it because my kidneys started to hurt bad! Really weird eh? I was drinking so much water that I was pissing every 5 minutes and the kidney pain still wouldn't leave. I thought it was because of the var I was taking, but I stopped the cytogainer and the pain went away. Started it again and the pain came back. It was also hard to mix.

interesting...so aside from that, all gains were lean? Looks like cyto is the way to go.....I'm putting order in today....choc peanut butter or cohc mint.?

Cytogainer is great.. I loved the strawberry flavor.. I don't like chocolate generally though. You get a great whey/casien blend and some excellent carb sources.

JUST HOPING IT'LL KEEP ME LEAN......dont want to take in some garbage product, but you know me...I have researched them all........ingredient profile is awesome.....plus it's very low sugar.....some of these gainers (after 3 weeks of research, lol - I'm nuts) have over 100g of FRIGGN SUGAR!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a good question - I thought most weight gainers primarily used sugar as their carb source. At the very least, I have not heard of one that isn't loaded with sugar. Somebody should make a high fiber, low-GI weight gainer if they haven't already.

Went to buy my cyto and spoke with the dude working at the nut. store. Tall kid, thin, etc. Played dumb and asked him his opinion "Cyto is by far my favorite!" How were your gains? Good, although you will alway gain chub using a mass shake, no matter what you do (as he grabs a roll from his waste).....well, what flavor? Always vanialla, I tried choc mint (which i bought over the net, not hear yet) and he said it was waaayyy too strong, had to mix it with vanilla......now that sounds good! But, i made no purchase......maybe this weekend if mine doesnt come in today.....thoughts?
I had to laugh!

Ya, all lean. I was only having it as my post workout shake though. The guys that drink weight gainers all day will get fat for sure.
