Optimum Nutrition GS Pro Gainer Weight Gainer Protein Powder, Double Chocolate, 5.09 Pounds (Packaging May Vary)

Usually never do reviews but this weight gainer is pretty good. I'm 5'7 and started at 149lbs and now I'm at 155/156lbs Pros: -Saw about 8lbs of weight gain over almost a month which is good if you want a lean bulk, if you want to gain weight fast this is not the protein powder for you. -I'm a lot less sore from my workouts. I train as a power lifter and I've noticed significantly decreased DOMS. -minimal bloating and discomfort -The taste is really good. I prefer the vanilla though because it is easier to mix with other flavors. Cons: - Slow weight gain (again not meant to bulk you up fast but slow ,steady, and lean which in the long run is better so you have less fat to cut) -You should weigh your portions, the cup they provide will definitely not get you the serving size.

BEST gainer ever!! I really recommend it!! Flavor is great and gains are awesome!dissolves easily ,energy Level is great..I combine it with monohydrate creatine by ON,it’s a great combination and of course with a good diet,works for me,but every body is different,Try to buy specific from the ON store,it is more secure that you going to get what u pay for.

This product may have been almost a life saver for me. I have been using it for 10 years. I became seriously ill about a decade ago and was losing weight for unknown reasons. I am 5'10" and used to weigh in the mid 160s prior to my illness. Finally after dropping to the upper 120s my doctor recommended that I try drinking gainer shakes though he didn't mention this product in particular. I happened to mention my weight loss dilemma to my brother-in-law who pointed me to this product. So glad that he did. I started out drinking two servings per day and usually add a scoop of ice cream to it in the blender. It tastes fine to me with plain water but the ice cream makes the drink pleasingly colder. Anyhow, this put a stop to my nose diving weight and gradually pushed me into the low 130s which helped me feel some relief about my condition. About a year later I joined a gym and started working out with weights 3 times a week at least an hour each time, plus did some weight lifting at home in between. Slowly, slowly my weight raised into a more respectable mid 140s after about a year of weight lifting exercices plus this product 2X a day. Roughly 3 years later with my weight seemingly stuck in the 140s I decided to reduce it to one serving a day. I always monitor my weight and it remained basically the same. About a year ago I reduced use of this to a half serving, 6 days a week. I continue to work out at the gym and at home like usual. My upper body strength has increased especially my arms/biceps/triceps and pec muscles even at the reduced half serving of gainer plus my usual scoop of ice cream in the blender. I am happy to say my weight over the last 6 months has been lifted to almost the same level as I had prior to my illness. I am currently bumping up on the 160 lbs mark. So I have been using this for 10 years straight now plus going at my weight lifting for nearly that long a time. When I look in the mirror I grin at the results I have had over this LONG period of time. But I give a lot of credit to this gainer product and my doctors who initially encouraged me to use something like this many years back. I tend to drink mine now in the mid afternoon after my gym or home workouts and in between lunch and dinner. It does sometimes take away my appetite a bit if I drink it too close to dinner, especially back in the beginning when I was drinking two servings a day. Now at half a serving the appetite loss is much less of a problem. Will I ever stop using this altogether? Maybe, but not just yet. I do think there is a correlation between using this after a workout and building your muscle tissue so I may eternally use this at half strength based just on that. By the way, adding a scoop of ice cream to it in the blender not only makes it tastier and creamier but also adds some extra calories and calcium (I believe). The double chocolate is my favorite and adding some mint ice cream is wonderfully tasty. I think overall this product tastes great, even those times that I simply use plain water without anything more.

I started out at around 110 pounds at 5'9'' and tried other mass gainers at the beginning of my lifting career, and I found them to be almost undrinkable and just overall not worth the hassle compared to shoving food down my throat and just drinking regular protein even if it would be a bit slower and harder on my stomach...and was able to bulk up to 170 at ~10% bf I've noticed my appetite dropping a little bit recently and I'm also trying to push up to the top of the 83kg weight class, so my lower-than-average appetite being suppressed was making this even harder than it needed to be so I figured I'd give a mass gainer another shot. This stuff tastes better than regular ON chocolate protein (tastes like chocolate milk to me, and I've drank a lottttttttttttttttt of different protein powders), plus it mixes just like regular protein even in whole milk. Amazingly easy to drink, ingredients look to be higher quality than competitors... If consistently eating whole foods in a huge surplus is your problem like me, swap this out for your regular protein (1 serving is also 60g of protein, nice) and I'm sure it'll help you out quite a bit. It's pretty easy on my stomach too, and I generally have a weak stomach. It's good stuff, for a mass gainer. If you're looking at mass gainers, you know there's cheaper/better options (making your own or just eating the food) but I honestly don't think I'd ever buy a different gainer after trying this one

I have been using Optimum Nutrition Pro Gainer for a few months now, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations as a muscle-building supplement. This review is based on my personal experience, and I believe it deserves a solid four-star rating. I’ve managed to with workouts to increase my weight from 195lbs to 220lbs. First and foremost, the taste of this protein powder is outstanding. I have tried various flavors, and each one has been delicious. Whether it's chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry, the Pro Gainer always delivers a satisfying and enjoyable experience. I appreciate that Optimum Nutrition pays attention to the taste, as it can often be a struggle to consume protein shakes consistently. With Pro Gainer, it is easier than the standard protein shake. The nutritional profile of Pro Gainer is impressive. Packed with high-quality proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats, it provides a balanced blend of macronutrients that are essential for muscle recovery and growth. I found that this supplement helped me meet my daily caloric and protein intake goals, making it easier to fuel my workouts and promote muscle gains. The added vitamins and minerals are also a bonus, contributing to overall health and well-being. Mixability is another area where Pro Gainer shines. Unlike some other protein powders I've tried in the past, this one dissolves easily and smoothly in both water and milk. No clumps, no gritty texture—just a creamy and consistent shake every time. This is especially important for me when I'm on the go and need a quick and hassle-free option. I’d rate its dissolvability as average to above average in a shaker, but have been using a turbo mixer for better results and consistency. The only reason I deducted one star is the price. Optimum Nutrition Pro Gainer is definitely on the pricier side compared to other mass gainers on the market. However, considering the quality of the ingredients and the results I've seen, I believe it's worth the investment. The cost might be a deterrent for some, but if you prioritize quality and effectiveness, Pro Gainer delivers on its promises. In summary, Optimum Nutrition Pro Gainer is an excellent choice for anyone looking to build lean muscle mass and support their fitness goals. With its fantastic taste, impressive nutritional profile, and superior mixability, it stands out among its competitors. While it might be a bit more expensive, the results make it worth every penny. I highly recommend giving it a try and experiencing the benefits first-hand.

I’ve used Optimum Nutrition Gainer for a while, and it’s decent — it mixes well, tastes good, and delivers solid calories and protein for bulking. However, after trying Critical Mass, I have to say I’m switching sides. Critical Mass feels like a more complete package. The calorie-to-protein ratio is better, and it has more complex carbs that don’t leave me feeling heavy or bloated. Plus, the flavors are richer, and it’s not overly sweet like some other gainers, including ON. While ON Gainer is good for beginners, Critical Mass feels like the smarter choice for anyone looking for efficient gains without the crash or sugar overload. It’s just better suited to my needs and goals.

Muy buena, great taste

I've tried four or five different weight gainers. I've also researched and compared ingredient and nutrition labels. This is the best quality weight gainer I've come across for several reasons. When comparing nutrition labels of wright gainers, I noticed that most products have between 4:1 and 6:1 carbohydrates to protein ratio. This means that if you're getting 50 grams of protein per serving, you're getting better 200 and 300 grams of carbohydrates. With ON Pro Gainer, you get 60 grams of protein and just 85 grams of carbohydrates. This ratio is far superior when trying to put on quality pounds / muscle. Also, ON Pro Gainer uses an extremely high quality protein blend, consisting of: whey isolate, whey concentrate, caseinate, egg white, whey peptides, glutamine. What's so great about this is you get a varied release of super high quality protein. If I were to customize a protein blend from scratch, I wouldn't change a thing. As for flavor, this weight gainer is as good, or very close to as good as others that contain more carbs and more sugar. Mixed with milk (my preference) or even water, it's so good that I look forward to having it every day after the gym. I can't imagine someone not loving the taste. It also mixes as well or better than any other weight gainers I've tried. I use a hand blender for 20 seconds or so, and it's completely blended. Not chalky and no clumps. If you're looking for a weight gainer, I can recommend this as the best one out there. Or at least among the best.

ON has never disappointed.

Might be original but can't see any effects had used whey protein in past which was better as per me

Bought this for our son. It was recommended by trainers at gym. Price online is excellent.
