I recently purchased this weightgainer, made by Champion Nutrition, on Netrition because after carefully looking over the weightgainers and the amount of servings, calories, carbs, protein, cost, etc I thought this one was the best. I'm 5'9" and 140lbs and my workout regimen is aimed at gaining muscle mass. Has anyone used this product or heard anything about it? Is there another product which is better than this product for my goals? All advice is appreciated.

I don't have any exp. with that product but I have been using N-Large2 weight gainer/Protein with good results. I started at 150 about 6 weeks ago and now I am at 170 with good muscle growth. I can say that I have not put on "Fat" or "Water" weight. Very high in Protein for a weight gainer 52g per shake and 600 calories. If you take weight gainer and don't workout with good intensity then yes you will gain the "Fat" weight.
Good Luck and give us a review on your product for future help.

Champion - 29.95
Prolab - 19.95
Servings:
Champion - 21
Prolab - 11
Calories Per Serving:
Champion - 630
Prolab - 620
Protein Per Serving:
Champion - 35
Prolab - 52
Carbs Per Serving:
Champion - 103
Prolab - 89

Carbs Per Serving:
Champion - 103

Calories from carbs:
Champion- 412kcal or 65% of total
ProLab- 356Kcal or 57% of total
Calories from protein:
Champion- 140kcal or 22% of total
ProLab- 208Kcal or 34% of total
Which leaves about 13% of calories coming from fat from Champion and 7.5 - 8% of total calories coming from fat in ProLab.
Questions:
1. Are both Whey Protein? Any Idea how it's processed?
2. Any additives like Glutamine, etc?
3. Of the Carbs in each, how many are simple sugars?
(A bunch os sugar is not as valuable to those that wnat to increase their caloric intake unless they are purposely attempting to spike their insulin levels.)
It seems as though your best bet would be to finish the product that you have and then purchase a good whey protein to supplement protein intake and maintain a possitive nitrogen balance then if you desire to keep your Carb intake up, do it with good solid foods that have a low glycemic index. (If you are unsure about the glycemic index deal do a search on this site and you'll find out lots of info.) Not to many fruits and try to keep your daily caloric intake to about 40 - 45% Carbs and 40 - 45% Protein. Make sure you include some GOOD fats like fish oil, Flax or linseed oil or extra virgin Olive oil.

Oh yeah the cost per serving of the Champion is $1.43 and ProLab is $1.81... about a 38 Cent difference.
You can make either of these work since they ARE supplemental to a good nutritional program. Just figure out your caloric needs then do the math and then balance your diet out to make it work.
PEACE,

Champion is 44% Sugar and ProLab - 26% Sugar.
Your choice in Supplements will again totally depend on your individual nutritional needs. But if you are looking to cut back in sugar and increase protein intake, the ProLab one appears to be a better bargain.
