(First section, with recommended use and Nutritional info. taken from maximuscle website) Maximuscle Progain is Britains number one selling weight gain! Contains large amounts of whey protein and the healthy calories you need to bulk up and add size.
Recommended Use Mix 2 scoops (120g) of Maximuscle Progain with 500ml of water. Stir with a fork for around 10 seconds or mix in a Maximuscle shaker and drink within 5 minutes. Progain is best when mixed with water, not milk or fruit juice. For best results: Start taking 2 scoops a day for a week, if you don't notice an increase of around 1-3lbs a week, add another scoop to your daily servings. Keep adding scoops each week until you are gaining 1-2lbs weekly. If you want to put on muscle you should be using Progain in conjunction with an effective training regime and high protein diet. You should monitor your fat levels to make sure the weight you are gaining is muscle and not fat! Some people choose to add extra protein to their weight gainer supplement to boost protein intake even further. Some great tasting flavours can be achieved by mixing Progain and Maximuscle's protein powder, Promax. For optimum energy levels and recovery, try taking half a scoop around 45 minutes before training and 1 scoop immediately after!

I've been using this for almost a year now on and off. It really does add 1-3lbs a week when using 2 scoops a day. However eventually you may have to have an extra scoop or two a day to keep this up. You must also make sure you attend the gym or conduct some form of good physical activity throughout the week so it is not stored as fat! Although due to its ingredients and 'good calories' it would not store totally as fat like some weight gainers.
They recommend using water to mix the powder with, however I tried Strawberry and Chocolate flavour with water and both were disgusting- and made me heave. I then switched to mixing it with milk which tasted much better- but the milk I used happened to be full cream! I would not recommend this as it also says to drink the mixture within 5 minutes. I normally drink the 2 scoops with milk all in one go. When I did this with full cream milk my stomach did not want to hold it! I therefore have switched to skimmed milk and do the same with this. However I tend to drink the mix in about 10 minutes.
After I changed to skimmed milk I also did not have any side-effects, which I had when using full cream milk such as feeling sick and not having as much of an appetite. However it is totally fine now I use skimmed milk and I would definitely recommend this as a good weight gainer.

Although this is expensive as a 2kg tub, when using how much is recommended, only lasts about 17 days, it does work (unlike some others) and depending on how much weight you want to put on, you shouldn't have to use it long. Also some very good offers can be found on eBay where I have purchased all of mine from.

...strength. I am Currently using Maximuscle Progain it does work but you have to put the work in, too many people think they can use this and do nothing and get the results there looking for. If your going to buy this product you to have a regime in place so you are actually gaining muscle otherwise you will only gain fat. For the best results mix with water not milk or orange so that it is drinkable and easy to digest.
Note. Do not buy the banana ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Maximuscle Progain Protein
The most advanced Weight-Gainer on the market Progain is Britain's best selling weight gainer. It's advanced technology has made it a staple diet for many top athletes, bodybuilders and sports stars alike, from beginners to the advanced. Unlike other weight gainers, which load up the calories with proteins that cause side-effects, such as egg, milk, casein and soya, Progain contains the same exclusive BIOMAX protein as used in Promax So you won't suffer from wind & stomach upset, etc. To ensure that the weight you gain is lean muscle and not fat, we avoid the simple carbohydrates. Simple carbs raise blood sugar levels, causing excessive insulin release, which results in fat storage. We only use low glycemic maltodextrin, this provides sustained energy release and is the least likely to turn to fat. Fats are an essential part of any weight gainer, but it's vital, that the correct fats are used. So we only use MCTs, a unique fat that provides 9 calories per gram, yet the body treats as a carbohydrate, resulting in minimal fat storage. To make the weight gainer complete, we've also added an excellent multi-vitamin and mineral blend to offer all round nutrition. If you've used other weight gainers, you'll be amazed at how well, Progain mixes. You don't need milk with progain, it mixes with water with a few stirs of a fork, no blenders needed.... and once you've tasted it, you'll be blown away. It's no wonder its been voted the best tasting weight gainer for the last 3 years running! One serving of Progain (120g) offers you an easy to digest 600 calories of high quality nutrition. Flavours: Strawberry, Chocolate, Banana, Vanilla, Coconut, Coffee, Peach & Mango Size: 1800g (2000g in Feb 2000) Dosage: See Recommended Use. Progain and your sport... BODYBUILDERS, POWERLIFTERS, STRONGMEN Essential to any `Hard-Gainer' and anyone who has a fast metabolism and finds it hard to pack on muscle or weight. Quality ingredients mean quality gains. No excuses for not eating! CYCLISTS & RUNNERS Progain can be used before and after training for a superb, great tasting recovery drink, using just one scoop! SPRINTERS & ATHLETES Progain can be used before and after training for a superb, great tasting recovery drink, using just one scoop!
