 Good quality weight gainer Feb 03, 2012
By Evan Wilson
This definitely one of the better weight gainers available today, not full of empty calories but actually has some good quality nutrients along with a ton of protein and complex carbs. No need to take more than one serving at a time, will just go straight in the toilet if you do. Gotta play by the digestive systems rules. There are certain times of the day where your body can't wait an hour for the protein to digest; right when you wake up, pre workout, during workout, post workout. For this I'd also recommend adding a some beta ecdysterone, Beta Ecdysterone Bulk Powder 30 Grams. It increases protein synthesis in the body which simply put means you turn more protein into muscle instead of wasting it. I'll usually take a half of gram per day, and when in bulking phase two servings of True-Mass, at different times of course.

Simply the best Sep 13, 2011
By TarHeelPd
I'm a pretty skinny guy, I have always been so gaining weight has been challenging for a couple of reasons. First, I don't want to just gain weight by eating junk food, fried and fatty foods for obvious health reasons and secondly, its really difficult to find a weight gainer powder that actually tastes good.
Before True Mass, I have tried Muscle Milk, an off brand from Target and the GNC powder. They all had their short-comings, especially in the taste department. Based on a suggestion from a friend, I decided to buy the True-Mass and I was simply blown away by how amazing it tastes. I mix 3 scoops with 12 ounces of 2% milk and 2 ounces of water and it mixes really well w/o becoming too thick. It feels like I'm drinking a strawberry milkshake and the best part is that there is absolutely no after-taste!
Its been almost three weeks now and I have gained nearly 6 pounds (I workout 3 times a week as well) which may not seem like a lot but knowing how difficult it is for me to put on weight, I'm excited.

good weight gainer Jan 26, 2012
By bivage
I took 2-3 scoops a day (3 scoops = 1 serving size) + 5g of generic creatine and went from 162 to 167 in about a week and a half! I did my normal gym/running routine (about 3 times a week) and ate normally. This stuff + creatine works well for skinny guys looking to bulk up a bit. I take 5g of creatine 30 minutes before the gym, work out for about 45 minutes, then I drink 1.5 scoops of this stuff right after I work out and the other 1.5 scoops right before I go to bed. I don't know how people can drink a milkshake with 3 scoops all at once though-- it's too much at one time for me.
The taste is pretty good considering it's protein. I tried cheaper protein before and this definitely tastes better. Overall I'm happy with this stuff. I'm not sure if I'll do another tub of this or switch to SYN6 protein since I'm guessing I'll hit my weight goal (175) by the time I finish the first tub.

Best weight gainer I've used. Feb 10, 2011
By CorpsePenis
I'm one of those people who can't gain weight even if I were to inject pure bacon grease through an IV into my arteries... Through the years I've used multiple different high calorie weight gainers along with working out and this one is so far the best, by a long shot. I've used some with higher calorie counts before, but they did not taste well and were super thick, almost to the point you had to chew them... Pretty gross. I've ordered quite a few containers of this BSN now, have had chocolate a few times and just started getting strawberry and they all mix up in 16oz of water very easily using a blender bottle. For the chocolate I add 2-3 teaspoons of Nestle Quik to it... makes it taste quite a bit better. The strawberry to me is the better tasting of the two and also seemingly lighter/smoother. One odd thing, every container I've had of these have included a different scoop. I could swear that the scoop size changes... I don't know if this is normal or what, but it sure is strange.
Amazon subscribe and save sweetens the deal. I have it so it sends me both strawberry and chocolate at different intervals. I will probably try vanilla eventually too.
UPDATE (04/17/12): I've been using the Cookies & Cream flavor the past 2 months and it is in my opinion, hands down, the best tasting one I've used of these. It seems to mix up even better than the others and tastes the most realistic. Also has little cookie crunches in it. After 3 months of using this product I've put on a good 10 lbs. While that doesn't sound like a lot, it is for me. I've never been able to put on weight regardless of products used, especially keep it on. So, it's been working well. Again, I highly recommend the Cookies & Cream flavor.
As far as performance goes, it does work. I've put on about 12 lbs the past few months of lean muscle and I can visually tell that my workouts are more effective while on the BSN product than other weight gainers I have used in the past.
