I did this as an experiment to see if this would work. To my surprise it worked, but. I didn't use it to its full potential😢.
I'm a very skinny short(5'6)dude who just doesn't like to eat(I can't figure out why). I barley ate around 1000- 2000 per day with the help of MyFitnessPal. I ended up with a minimum weight of 120.There were lots of things i did to ensure i could gain weight with Serious Mass. The "trick"that I used was applying 4-6 Tbs of peanut butter and 3-4 cups of milk(any if fine higher calorie milk is ovbously better) my total 90% of the time was 2300+ calories!!(100g of protein, 330g of carbs,70g of fat). One mistake that i learned was trying to drink it all in one go;this either made me want to throw up everything or immediately pass out and take 3 hour long naps😂. Another huge mistake about drinking this shake everyday was that my body couldn't eat real food. I was so full for the who day that food made me feel nauseas. I changed the game a bit and decided to drink my "shake"(40+oz of liquid since i had to blend all of it) every 2-3 hours. This method really worked in the end.
IN CONCLUSION(since this is taking too long) I've only gained about 12-15 pounds in one month. Im also sure 20%of my weight was on my stomach since it would make me look bloated due to my weak lactose tolerance.
P.S. I did work out heavily and i still do (i only have a barbell with 50lbs on it) I did upper and lower body workouts. I think I've gained those "newbie gains" hard. So im sure some of the weight is just normal muscle weight. Anyways hope this helps people 5 stars for sure!!
It's probably my favorite mass gainer out there! Beats the crap out of Mutant's one, i'll say that but do yourself a favor if you're going to spend the money on this! Most people can't absorb all of the carbs, protein and fats this stuff packs so freaking stack it with REAL MUSCLE BUILDER - Anabolic Weight Gainer & Nutrient Partitioner for Muscle Growth | Clear Plateaus Fast - 180 Pills. I won't go into detail on Real Muscle but I'll say it's the only legit muscle builder out there that actually works. I put on 15 pounds in a month with a bottle of that and a truckload of Serious Mass.
Anyways, back to Serious Mass. It's really the only mass gainer i can recommend because Optimum Nutrition is the best protein provider in the world because they own all of the dairy farms. That should tell you everything you need to know for any of product out there that is selling dairy or as most people know it... WHEY! haha I don't use anything other than Optimum protein and if you find something cheap, you can bet your sweet butt that it's tainted, spiked or just a flat out false label.
Not only does it contain good whey sources but they care about the science and the carbs and other macro nutrient ingredients are a notch above the competition. Optimum has always been a very quality company like that. No B/S just straight to the real results. It's got a fitting name if you're serious about putting on mass you better get serious mass.
& take my advice on Real Muscle. I'm not paid or endorsed in anyway, I've spent 10 years of my life training and I definitely think it's a good combination.
If you are looking for GAINZ, look no further. This stuff packs some serious nutrition, albeit in rather large servings. Dinged it one star because if you use the full recommended serving, it is nearly impossible to get it blended to perfection, BUT in my opinion that has to be expected with a supplement that is giving you such large calorie and protein counts. I got the vanilla flavor, which has worked for me because it gives flexibility in making the shake taste how you want (i.e. you want peanut butter flavor..throw some in, you want chocolate flavor, throw some in). You do not have that flexibility with other flavors.
Word of warning, this is not for those just looking to get some protein in their diet. This is absolutely for people trying to bulk and put on weight.
I just have to start off by saying wow! I have always had trouble with putting on weight and never could do it, until I purchased this. I went from 127 to 143 within a month and a half and I feel healthier than ever. The best way to get this product to efficiently work for you is to have it after you have your meals. You will feel bloaded after having this but that is just something you will have to deal with because it is worth it. I have one scoop after i eat breakfast and one scoop at night after my workout. Purchase this prouduct if you are looking to put on mass because it is cheaper than other protein shake brands and comes with much greater results!
I started taking this supplement soon after I graduated high school and was starting to workout regularly. At the time I was 6' 130 pounds (extremely skinny, I know) and had always had a hard time gaining weight, primarily due to because it was hard for me to get more calories than my body was burning off.
When I first started taking this supplement, I was easily gaining about 3-5 pounds a month. I was working out 4-6 days a week and most of the weight I gained was most likely fat, but I was still getting stronger every week. Every serving has over 200g of carbs, which is a crazy amount of carbs, so it gave me plenty of energy that fueled my workouts. Fast forward 2 years, I went from 130 pounds to 180 pounds and sitting at about 18% body fat.
Being a college student at the time and also working part time, it was sometimes hard to cook and eat my regular meals, so this was nice because I could just blend this together with some fruit and peanut butter and bring it with my to school or work in a cup. This protein is really thick compared to most regular protein such as whey, mainly because it's over 1000 calories per serving. I know the first couple of weeks I started drinking this protein it was hard to get it down simply because it was so many calories, but eventually I was able to gulp it down like I gulp down water.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who has trouble gaining weight or just simply wanting to bulk. I also recommend that you do some form of workout while taking this as to limit the amount of fat you'll be adding on.

Description
Serious Mass is the ultimate in weight gain formulas. With 1,250 calories per serving and 50 grams of protein for muscle recovery support, this instantized powder makes the ideal post-workout and between meals shake for sizing up your goals. Serious Mass provides you with the tools you need to pack on the pounds and help you develop the physique you’ve always wanted.
This mass builder is exactly what I thought it would be. If you take the full serving, it feels like you're drinking pudding, it tastes fine but you need to use a blender its so thick. Now, my metabolism is a bit weird; I haven't gained a pound of body weight after a month, but my lifts have gotten stronger, my energy drop in the gym is less dramatic, and I've even noticed a positive change in the "eye test" when standing in the mirror. I wish I could gain weight (I'm 205 now, I want to be around 220), but I cannot consume anymore of this stuff than I already am, maybe more time will bring something different. Otherwise, I do recommend this product for people who have a hard time eating enough calories during the day but again, use a blender, and if you slam this drink down you will get a stomach ache.
Update 10/01/2018: DO NOT GET STRAWBERRY. I ordered a large bag of the strawberry and that was a fricken mistake. Now I have to try to choke down 12 pounds of nastiness. STICK WITH THE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER, you will thank me later.
Being a college student it's hard to choke down a substantial amount of calories for putting on weight. If you use this stuff consistently there is no way you won't gain weight. One serving size is 2 scoops but I don't know if anyone could handle that unless you're some kind of Spartan or Viking. I mix one scoop with almost half a gallon of whole milk before bed. You do the numbers, that's about 1,500 calories. Effective? Definitely. Farts deadly enough to accidentally take down a family of four? You guessed it. But hey, that's probably just the milk talking.
Do not ever risk spilling this stuff. Just getting some on your fingers makes them feel like you just used tacky glue.
I strongly advise using a blender. You can mix it in a shaker, but only if you put in 1/2 a scoop and even then it's gonna be chunky. And fat chance pouring that huge scooper into your bottle.
If you get the 12 lb bag like I did, be prepared to hunt for the scooper. If it's on top when you get it, dance like you just won the lottery because it took me 15 minutes to dig and pull that thing out.
So far so good, not perfect, but just what I was expecting.
I was 35 years old 6' tall at 111lbs, I was like that since i was a teen struggling to gain weight. I went to doctors and nutritionist to find a way to gain, but they all said it was genetics and I had a poor diet and a high body metabolism. Though I worked on my diet and brought it up to standard I still did not gain anything much (1lb to 2lbs on and off). I tried other products from Universal, HealthyNfit, etc... nothing worked. So I came across this product Serious Mass from Optimum Nutrition. So I tried it, at first I was using half serving per day with whole milk and wasn't gaining much at all or seeing any significant difference. So I opted to 1 full serving per day, after 19 12lb bags and a 3 days per week, 1hr per day workout (weight lifting, short reps high weights) I moved from 111lbs to 186lbs (some days I skipped my shake, due to my hectic work schedule). I stopped the product and gym for about 6 months due to a shoulder injury. I went down to 157lbs where I remain to date. Be aware it can mess with your mood for some people for about 2hrs after consuming. It is important to see a doctor before using this product. I must say it really worked. It boosted my self confidence A LOT and even made me look very young as well!! ;)
My only beef with this product is the price, but I wouldn't subtract a start for it, because it works.
Went from 140lb (+/- 2-3lb) to a solid 154lb (also +/- 2-3lb) in a matter of 3-4 months.
I work full time, almost no time to eat properly, so this great tasting shake was a savior. I also trained brazilian jiu jitsu for 2 years, 2-3 times a week, and the caloric burn during 1 rolling session was insane. So imagine calories burnt during the training, during the day, including a few hundred calorie intakes in terms of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, and I was still able to gain 14lb? I love this product.
P.S. I was taking only 1 scoop (instead of recommended 2) with 15oz of whole milk and only 3 times a week!!!
Really helps get me through those long days at the gym!
