sup /fit/, what's your take on straight weight gainer (not whey protein)?I'm 5 foot 8, 165 pounds. Been weightlifting (consistently) for about one year. Started at around 150 pounds, so I've gained 15 pounds - which isn't bad. But here's my dilemma - I've been at 165 pounds for about 4.5 months now and I just can't get any higher. I eat very heavily throughout the day, lean meats, dairy, whey protein shakes/bars, almost to the point where I am so full I need to vomit. I do strong core exercises including deadlifts, bench, and squats, but I just can't seem to put anymore weight on.Do you recommend taking weight gainer with respect to muscle building? Or will the extra calories be converted to fat, which is something I don't want?Pic related.inb4 squats
whey is the only whey.
Many weight gainers are just sugary protein shakes. Just go for whey, and eat moar healthy stuff.
