So Im not exactly planning to use the weight gainer simply AS as weight gainer. Any other kind of supplements that would make a better substitute to what JB suggested, I’m all ears.

I think what several are trying to get at is this…no single product is going to ‘feed your need’. Using the right weightgainer as you describe will provide the simple carbs, but I have never seen one with an adequate protein/carb ratio. The one I use has 15g protein to 50g carbs., the only way to correct the ratio is with protein(whey) only powder. VERY IMPORTANT If your situation dictates you can only buy one product, the protein powder offers a greater ‘bang for your buck’. The world is full of simple carbohydrates.

you sound so old its surprising you even know what the internet is [/quote]
Fuck. You sound so irrelevant it’s surprising you know where your arse is. So tell me, shit for brains, what is old? What sort of ignorant sheltered world do you live in? Oh, Skyrim. Well, Napoleon Dynamite, I bow before your epic experience… in trolling forums.
Is Andy Bolton “old”? What about Dexter Jackson? Or Jay Cutler? Or the previously mentioned Ronnie Coleman? What the fuck do you mean by “old”? Ask any 15yo and anyone over 20 is old.
But seriously folks, most of you eat so much shit you could all grow better just by eating proper food. Is whole food “better”? Of course it is. Does protein powder work? It can. Do you need it? Sometimes.
Now stop whining about protein uptake times, nutrient windows and repartitioning and go eat some meat and greens.[/quote]
You spew dogmatic bullshit post after post. Has anyone ever thanked you for your advice? Let alone agreed with it?

At the end of the day workout nutrition supps are a luxury. If you can’t afford’em just load up on food and eat as soon as you’re done lifting.

My pre-workout is $1.17 per serving (23g protein w/5g BCAA, 4g creatine, & 15g simple carb)
post-workout is $1.92 per serving (45g protein w/5g BCAA, 4g creatine & 50g simple carb)
I just drink water during. [/quote]
Simple carbs such as? Im guessing this would all come in liquid/shake form right? instead of solids.

I cant afford those supplements and still live a productive life. I use maltodextrin/dextrose powder, kool aid powder, gatorade powder and a protein blend, plus other things like cocoa powder, leucine, creatine. In addition to Metabolic Drive.
It really doesnt matter what GI your carbs are on the whole. The amount of carbs you eat is most important. Find what works for you. Then refine your intake to maximize results. the TYPE of fast carbs you have pre-workout is very much in the realm of refinement.

Yeah I think ive got an idea now how things work. Thanks alot for all the help. will probably look into the other stuff you’re using also to see what works.
