Bulk Protein Powder

So you want to get big

If you want to get huge, you need to eat like a bear

Jay Cutler, Mr. Olympia 2006 and 2007 gave my best friend some straightforward advice:

"Sean, if you want to gain weight, eat pasta three times a day".

Sean and Jay

My friend Sean and I grew up together. We've been training together for many years. Sean got this advice while working at MuscleTech as an athlete liaison. He worked closely with Jay Cutler the year he won Mr. Olympia.

The advice is simple yet effective. Basically you need to try and eat as much as you can. Your calories need to be greater than the amount you burn. These excess calories will help you gain weight.

The advice sounds easy, but doing it can be a challenge. When you want to gain muscle mass you will most likely be working out as well. Lifting weights and busting your back in the gym burns calories. To get into the excess calories zone you're going to need to eat a lot. It can be difficult physically and financially to eat as much as you need to.

Eating lots chicken, beef or other high quality natural food can be expensive. Eating pasta 3 times a day can be hard on your body. This is where bulk protein powder can help.

It's easier to drink calories than eat them

How would you like to gain 25 pounds in one month? You can do this by drinking milk. I first heard of the milk diet from stronglifts.com.

It was labeled as the diet for skinny guys. It suggests you drink a gallon of milk everyday. Some of the pros with this is that you will gain weight. Drinking 2500 calories is easier than eating it. The downside is that you will gain some fat. Also a gallon of milk can by a little pricy after a month.

Another suggestion would be a quality bulk protein powder. Again drinking calories is much easier than eating them. This way you don't get as much fat either. It is also much cheaper along with a better quality of protein. You probably won't see 25 pounds in one month, but you will gain quality weight.

Bulk protein powders are usually labeled as weight gainers. They help you gain weight by specializing in giving you extra calories. Add a couple scoops to some water or milk, and drink it down. This is the most efficient and cheapest way to gain weight.

Muscle Juice Weight Gainer has always been a favorite weight gainer of mine. I usually go through a bulking stage a few times a year, and I have seen the best results with this product.

I don't use it all year round though because I prefer the taste of some other protein powders. The reason I use it is because it contains the most calories per serving.

• Serving size 4 scoops (250 grams)
• 990 total calories
• 160 calories from fat
• 55 grams of protein

Gaining weight all comes down to increasing your calories. These types of supplements can really help you achieve some good gains.

You need to be constantly eating throughout the day. Drinking your calories with a weight gainer can make it easier to increase your calorie intake.

Other quick tips for gaining weight

Set goals and track your progress:

It's crucial for you to stay consistent while gaining weight. Tracking what you eat helps you stay consistent and motivated. You should try and eat every 3 hours.

Make sure you're doing strength building exercises:

• Squats
• Deadlifts
• Bench press
• Shoulder press

These compound exercises work your entire body. I guarantee if you increase your squat you will get bigger. Don't neglect your legs.

If you're not up for a bulk protein powder, take Jay's advice on eating pasta, or give the milk diet a shot.
