My modified "Get Big Drink"

[trez]

After reading through an old Bodybuilding book of mine "The Keys to Progress" I found a recipe called the "Get Big Drink". From this, various experimentation and more recently nutritional analysis I've come up with my most definate favourite way to pack on weight (good muscle).

1L Non-fat milk
1 cup non-fat milk powder
2 scoops (~60g) protein powder (I like chocolate here)

BLEND

1 Egg
60-75g natural peanut butter
60-75g malt extract
1 Tablespoon of flax seed oil
2 Tablespoons heaped of cocoa
2 Tablespoons heaped of dextrose/glucose (same thing whatever)

BLEND

Eating this every day just in addition to what I normally eat has been fannnntassstic. Gaining a solid kilo or so a week of mostly muscle without any additional supplementation. It appeals to me because it's easy!

Quick nutritional breakdown (approximate)

Energy: ~7000kJ
Protein: ~150g
Sugars: ~154g
Starch: ~20g
Saturated fats: ~10g (probably less)
Polyunsaturated fats: ~15g
Monounsaturated fats: ~30g
Fibre: ~8g

Niacin equivalents: ~40mg
Vitamin C: ~13mg
Folate: ~175ug

Salt: ~1000mg
Potassium: ~4500mg
Magnesium: ~500mg
Calcium: ~2500mg
Phosphorus: ~2500mg
Iron: ~9mg
Zinc: ~12.70mg

I've been away from the forums for a while but hopefully with renewed enthusiasm I can rejoin the ranks!

you eat a raw egg?

 

[trez]

Hell yeah I've been eating raw eggs for years and years never been sick. Just make sure you know what to look for in eggs (such as no spots, consistant colour, no cracks or dry spots).

Do you drink this thing in 1 hit? It sounds like an awfully big drink. Or do you space it over the course of the day. Drink before workout or after workout?? Interested in trying this or at least something similar. Does it taste good?

 

[trez]

I usually break it up into about 8 serves a day (~ 1 cup per serve).

I'm about to go back on this in about 3 or 4 weeks (when I'm happy with the fat loss after the other experiments with this) so I'll definately orgainse some progress pics. I'll be pretty skinny by then so hopefully I can demonstrate it's power! Haha

Did u say that it has 7000 cals!

Lol NO! 7000kJ!

I'm starting this on Monday the 24th of October, and I'll post some before pics and progress pics (faceless of course )

Lol NO! 7000kJ!QUOTE]

how much is 7000kJ? as in calories?

i'm in my bulking phase too - was thinking about just having one weight gain shake (already got a tub - 30gr protein 10gr fat 70carb, 450 calories per serving), as well as one pint of whole milk, as that's almost 450 calories itself.

what do ppl think of whole milk?

 

[trez]

7000kJ = ~1700 calories.

Whole milk... the issue is the amount of saturated fat if you drink it all the time. If you can handle skim/no-fat you'll bulk more cleanly.

Peace

 

[swaptrex]

is this drink sickening or do-able?

i might give it a try....

 

[samsonov]

that drink looks cool. definatly a must try! lets see the pic's.

 

[trez]

Hmmm... I have to apologise.

I've been totally distracted from training, for the first time in a long time I've got a girlfriend... and it's meant alot of late nights and not enough sleep. I peaked at 93kg's, then it's just been dropping off because I haven't been eating, sleeping or training enough.

It works!!!! And it tastes good to me anyway, I mucked with the recipe until I found one I liked. What I do is mix it up the night before, let it sit in the fridge, and it builds up texture so it's kind of thick. It doesn't taste good when you first mix it up and I'm not really sure why...

Anyway hopefully I'll get back into this soon enough once the novelty of having a girl wears off. Watch this space! (not for a while though )

OK This shit is back in session. Girl is gone, motivation is back and big.

I'm gonna get my act together and start again tomorrow. No girl interruption this time around.

Peace.

welcome back from the dark side bro lol

I'm also interested in this concoction. But do I absolutely need the dextrose/glucose?

Isn't this just a bunch of sugar?

Also, can I use two egg whites instead of one egg?

 

[trez]

Sorry about the lack of responses it took a little bit of time to get my shit together. I have made a couple of adjustments to the existing formula so that it now looks something like this:

1L Non-fat milk
1 cup non-fat milk powder
2 scoops (~60g) protein powder (I like chocolate here)

Egg is GONE (Feel that the risk although tiny isn't worth it for me)
60-75g natural peanut butter
60-75g malt extract
1 Tablespoon of flax seed oil
2 Tablespoons heaped of cocoa
2 Tablespoons psyllium husk (for a bit of extra fibre)
Dextores is GONE, replaced with 50g Oats

I actually started a couple of days ago, here are the new befores if anyone is interested (lol these make me cry).
