We got talking about meal replacement/weight gain supps in this thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17897640 and i asked this question: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12100633&postcount=31 but it was obviously in the wrong place and didnt get answered, maybe it'll get noticed here. I basically just need something with some complex carbs + a bit of protein, although i already use Impact Whey, so i mainly just need this for the carbs, unless theres a really easy way to make it myself? Theres just so much fluff on those sites about every product its hard to know what i need.

Don't soak them!

Put dry oats into a blender, turn on, shake about a little, once all oats are flour turn off. Store oat flour in plastic tub or bag for use in shakes.

I blend and store about 3kgs, takes 10mins to do and its a lot easier taking whey and oats in a shaker to work when you just have to scoop out of a bulk store rather than blending a small batch each time ;)

Oh wow, so basically every weigt gain product is just a massive con? Well, not a con, but very overpriced.

No. You get a lot of overpriced commercial brands like Maximuscle, Met-Rx etc which are essentially cons, but MyProtein and similar brands like AllIn1 are very good value for money.

But as always its still a good bit cheaper to buy all the ingredients in bulk and make your own

Is it just me or is the chest the first thing to go when you dont workout for a few weeks?

I find my chest weights are really the only ones to drop if ive not been in the gym in a while, and were still waiting for your sexual leg shots in the pics thread :p
 
Ugh, 1.5 months not training + e.coli poisoning and when I benched for the first time this week I'd lost about 25kgs on the bench!

But a few days later, and its already down to only 15kgs, and in a few weeks I'm sure I'll be back up there!

Well i went out today and bought a decent blender and made some oat flour, it was awesome frankly, i think i might actually manage to eat what im supposed to doing it like this.

I think ill make a picture thread tomorrow showing what i did, im sure it will be helpful to someone, cos i looked for similar on with the search function before i asked here.
