Have any of you seen this before, or even used it?
Just stumbled upon it and it's the craziest gainer powder I've ever seen... 137g sugar per serving, deer antler velvet, MCT oil powder, only 65g protien per serving though.
For reference my current powder I use has 59.4g sugar for 80g protien per serving.

lol SO its actually intended to be drank and mixed over the course of an entire week when mixed with an entire gallon of milk. The instructions were provided in a magazine back in the day, I managed to track down those instructions a long time ago, the purpose of this was to provide an extra ~500cal or so per day and to run over the course of several weeks. I used to buy this all time time and when running it as intended it actually was a fairly easy way to get extra calories in. I had some pretty solid luck with it. That beings said you can take many other mass gainers and adjust it to be ran like that as well.
Ibought 12 tubs of these and made my own mixture of different powders (added in collagen, colostrum, creatine, etc etc) into it and put them into giant baggies. After I finish cutting i'll be following the original protocol to take as it was intended
If you hunt around you can find tubs of these for a very fair price, or as a supplement shop owner to special order some of these for you, thats what i did
Bro, no doubt, I mean IMHO … terrible choice, even for hardgainers.
Once you mix that with whole milk, fat goes north of 60g per serving, which is just ridiculous. Totally not worth it.
Mixing high fat + high sugar/carbs is one of the worst combos you can create metabolically. You spike insulin hard, shuttle nutrients into storage, glycogen gets filled… and the fat gets stored, not burned. That’s how you build a fake lean physique … scale weight goes up, body composition goes to hell.
Much smarter approach is:
High protein + high carbs around training
Keep fats moderate: 0.3–0.8g per kg, max 1g/kg.
Personally, I like low-fat diets (~10%), mostly what already comes naturally in food. I’m running exogenous hormones … I don’t need extra fat for hormonal support. I save higher fats for refeeds or special meals.
Only “advantage” of this gainer is that your bodyweight will go up fast, but the quality of those gains will be questionable at best. Garbage macros = garbage tissue. Fat doesn’t build muscle. Weight ≠ muscle.
I’m not a fan of gainers in general, but I understand there are less bad options that can help very busy people or guys with no appetite. This one, though? Hard pass.
Jrihard89I remember a weight gainer that was like that blue container from the 2010s. I was in HS and super under weight. So I stole my dad’s CC and bought 4 tubs at $80 each lol.. hid it at my HS locker room. I actually put on some muscle with it. My metabolism somehow was able to handle it lol. Only lasted 6 months because after I had MAJOR stomach issues.
Ranger3252Is this from the 50s? I just want to buy to have now
109 dollars on amazon!! Hell yeah man!
For 10 servings. Might as well just eat fast food everyday. Will likely yield similar results.
It worked for CT Fletcher
Dude was a legend
He really is, you gotta love the guy
Last time I did an unplanned refeed during a cut, I was on GH, clen, T3 and T4… no GLP-1 back then lol.
I smashed 10 cheeseburgers + 4 bacon McDoubles, and a large diet Coke “to stay in diet” LMAO.
Ordered a large strawberry shake too, but I couldn’t even look at it after all that junk… I was wrecked, almost passing out, insanely lethargic.
Fun to do once in a blue moon, but definitely not sustainable.
At least not for me …
Haha holy shit. Can I ask what made you refeed like that? Were you like flat n tired etc. and wanted to fill back out?
Haha yeah brother … it wasn’t planned at all. It was straight up diet fatigue + bad strategy + mental overload.
At that time I was trying to go from around 23% down to ~10–9% BF. Not stage lean, but as lean as I could realistically get. The original plan was 16 weeks, but I didn’t get where I wanted, so instead of resetting, I decided to just keep pushing.
Big mistake.
By that point I was already 20–21 weeks deep in a hard deficit, no real carb cycling, just constantly dropping calories and carbs. Protocol was heavy: high tren, test, mast, 5 IU GH, then added clen, then T3 + T4 (12.5 + 50 mcg). That combo nuked my hunger control and stress levels. Cortisol was probably through the roof.
Physically I was holding it together, but mentally I was cooked.
One night I woke up around 3–4am, drenched in sweat (thanks tren
), looked at my check-in pics, felt flat, tired, and mentally wrecked … even though I was progressing. My head just couldn’t see it anymore. Total body dysmorphia + burnout.
So I said fuck it, drove to McDonald’s, and unleashed hell lol
That was pure food compulsion, not a strategic refeed.
After that, I realized both me and my coach at the time(2021), had messed up the strategy, and I learned a lot from it.
Big lessons IMO…
• Thyroids need to be used very strategically
• Cortisol management is HUGE
• Carb cycling in cutting is fundamental
• And if BF is high (like mine was), you can’t force a straight 25% —>> 10% run
Way better in my humble opinion is to break it into 2–3 cutting phases (12–16 weeks) with 4–6 weeks at maintenance or slight surplus in between. Keeps the body responsive, hormones healthier, and your head sane.
So yeah … what happened there was pure compulsive eating caused by bad strategy and mental overload. It happens to a lot of people, even pros.
Honestly, GLP-1s changed this game a lot. Appetite control + mental relief alone already makes a huge difference.
That was a rough lesson, brother man, but a valuable one.
How the actual fuck do people manage to eat that much????!!
Him and Fuckin Cali Muscle were bothers ....
I used to love watching cali muscle videos. Dude was funny AF.
best part was him swearing that he was natty. And grocery shopping while screaming BA BAP!!
By being a sick fuck. You have to respect it. Yea he almost died a few times but shit, he kept this up for 20 fucking years
In comparison, when I use to eat McDonalds most lunch times when my appetite was at its largest I use to eat 1 Big Mac, 1 Large fries and a Filet oh Fish daily and I thought that was A LOT!!!! LMAO Ohh yeah I've watched numerous speed eating vids and man vs food stuff and I truly wish I could eat insane amounts like that - would make being strong VERY easy. You must have a pretty large appetite though I imagine given your size, and mesomorphs can generally eat a lot of food too.
"royal with cheese"
Hahahaha fucking badass. 4 burgers, 4, fries, 4 shakes, 4 apple pies. Can you imagine ordering that??
When he passes I’m doing it to honor him
Let's do it together and lady and the tramp that shit. Two guys kissing isn't gay if ur chewing at the same time.
Yayyyy looking forward to This
Hahahaha you ain't lying that's a good amount of McDoubles and nuggets..
2 McDoubles and a 20 piece post work out definitely is on par and you'll probably have some change left over after 10 days grab your a Coke or two for the sugar lmfao
These mass gainers are the biggest waste of time ppl need to stop being lazy I just blend up some chicken and cream of rice
Yes. I know a bro that got massive on mcdoubles. If I tried that I'd just get fat AF.
Them genes bro. Fuckin gifted bitches.
You're one of them.
I've seen a lot of guys get ridiculously strong off eating lots of Cheeseburgers - Ultimately its loads of Beef and Bread which is going to put muscle and weight on you one way or another. There's a kid on Youtube that makes about 6 quarter pound burgers per day to take in a pack up with him to work and he eats those all day everyday cold as well. Kid is Strong as absolute fuck too.
These guys are all lucky ducks.
My body demands to get fat if I eat tons. I'm constantly threading the goddamn needle trying to balance things out. Some of you gifted guys make me sick. Fuck you. Haha
Lmfao them things make me fart all night dude wbu and thanks bronacho!
.... but it has deer antler....
And mct oil powder. For booty hole lubricant
I heard that was the superior way to absorb your calories..
Yes I boof all my nutrients
unseen423I think at GNC in 2005-2006 we sold this or something very similar with a Russian dude who looked like Zangief from Street Fighter on it. Never sold a single tub lol.
Disappointed the labels aren't in Russian. Would like to take a stab in the dark at trying to make sense of it and just throwing scoops in a shaker cup.
Better off eating whole foods!
Amen brother
I read the label this contains 0 bear. You sir have been ripped off.
Someone said it was 5000 calories a scoop, god knows what is actually in that thing
I don't really get weight gainer. What's wrong with food? Even when I thought I was a power lifter and weighed 320ish pounds I never maxed out my appetite. Even if you want that much sugar because you can't take any more rice that day eat real protein. I eat steak with sweedish fish after as a meal when I feel like that sometimes.
You are taking the Michael right? lol
Don't fancy some deer antler in your protien powder?
