Review: Helped a skinny guy gain mass - I have been using this product for 4 years after trying many other weight gainers/protein supplements and seeing very little weight gain. I am very skeptical of most products in the market, so I want to share my experience with this product. I am 27 years old, 6'3" and my body weight without exercise and lifting is 154 pounds. My metabolism is through the roof and I have a hard time putting on weight no matter how much I lift or eat. I tried a few different products to supplement working out (I mostly lift high weight, low to medium reps) and never had much success. With heavy lifting I could get to 168 pounds or so but could never break past that point. After trying Russian Bear 4 years ago, I noticed that I was gaining weight pretty quickly without changing my workouts. I bought a second jug and by the end of it I had put on another few pounds. Not only that, but I was feeling stronger, lifting more, and even eating more. I would take 2 scoops with about 24 ounces of whole milk after every workout, 1 scoop with 14 ounces of whole milk every morning, and half a scoop with 8 ounces of whole milk before bed (important to not go to bed on an empty stomach). Using this routine, I haven't found a legal product that can put more weight on me. I don't lift or take Russian Bear from April-October, and my weight ALWAYS goes back to 154 pounds by November when I begin lifting again. With the help of Russian Bear, I am able to go from 154 up to 182 pounds in a 4 month lifting cycle. Before Russian Bear I couldn't rise above 168 no matter how hard I worked at at, now I can make it 14 pounds above that mark over the same time frame. It should be noted that my fat % stays consistently around 6%, so I do not gain fat while taking the product. Russian Bear gives my muscles the extra fuel they need to build mass, without putting fat on me. Many people make the point that you should just eat more and bigger meals in combination with weight lifting if you want to gain healthy weight. I agree with this, but I cannot control my hunger levels. There is only so much I can eat in a day without making myself sick. This shake goes down easy after a meal, and allows me to maximize my caloric intake, something I really need with my high metabolism. I eat like I always have, and the shakes are the bonus that gets me over the hump. I recommended this product to 2 friends who trusted my advice, both had success and liked the taste/consistency of the product. I will continue to recommend and use this product as long as it is available. I have only had Russian Bear in chocolate, I like it so well I don't have any interest in trying another flavor. * The only downside to this product is the recommended serving size is absurd, so the advertised calories per serving are very skewed. I have noticed no gain in fat from using Russian Bear, but my metabolism is not normal. An average weighted or heavier person might want to avoid this product altogether, or just take a scoop after a heavy workout. Cytogainer is another great protein supplement, with low fat intended for building lean muscle mass, individuals that gain fat easily should look in that direction. * Review: IMPRESSIVE :) - To avaoid going through a gallon of milk a day...I just fill a large glass with whole milk, add one scoop of Russian Bear (scooper provided with product) mix well and drink...i cant say for sure but I feel at that rate one shake equals 1000 calories :)...I have been struggling with gaining weight and must say that if I drink atleast two shakes a day ( one for breakfast and one at night) i am able to put on some pounds. It seems to increase my appetite as well, im not sure why but it does that to me. Mixing too much product without enough milk will make it very sweet but if you mix five scoops with a whole gallon of whole milk as the directions say it tasted just like Chocolate Milk! It is not grainy and you cannot taste any vitamins:) Even better!! I love the taste and the fact that it makes me feel full and DOES make me gain weight is awesome!! not to mention the price is remarkable :):) I just wanted ALOT of calories and Russian Bear offers that easily :)Try some today! ## Features - Develop Lean Muscle: Boost muscle density and mass without adding fat - Boost Muscle Growth: Accelerate muscle development with advanced formula - Optimize Protein Intake: Maximize protein absorption for muscle enhancement - Enhance Metabolism: Support nutrient absorption for muscle growth ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000G7Y3B4 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #276,898 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #547 in Ice Cream | | Brand | Vitol | | Brand Name | Vitol | | Container Type | Tub | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 219 Reviews | | Flavor | Vanilla | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00079973000263 | | Item Dimensions | 6 x 5 x 4 inches | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Weight | 18.14 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 6 x 5 x 4 inches | | Manufacturer | Vitol | | Manufacturer Part Number | $74.95 | | Model Number | 079973000270 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Muscle Growth | | Supplement Formulation | Multi-Supplement | | UPC | 079973000270 079973000263 | | Unit Count | 64.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Vitol - **Flavor:** Vanilla - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Weight:** 18.14 g - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 6 x 5 x 4 inches - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Package Information:** Tub - **Product Benefits:** Muscle Growth - **Unit Count:** 64.0 Ounce ## Images ![Vitol Russian Bear 5000, Ice Cream Vanilla 4-Pounds - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nKrkyP9sL.jpg) ![Vitol Russian Bear 5000, Ice Cream Vanilla 4-Pounds - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LgoORAXlL.jpg) ![Vitol Russian Bear 5000, Ice Cream Vanilla 4-Pounds - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AC+ZgqupL.jpg) ![Vitol Russian Bear 5000, Ice Cream Vanilla 4-Pounds - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bz9aT-3GL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the product Russian Bear 5000 Weight Gainer have an expiration date for use?** A: I could not find the exact expiration date.

Yes it says "5000 calories in one serving" but if taken with a gallon of milk. Now, for 90% of the people who take this, this isn't going to happen. I wrote this review to clear up the misconceptions about the calories some users post and will update my weight gain in 2 week intervals. No results after the first use which I drank 2 scoops with milk in a day. I will continue to use 2-3 scoops daily while doing heavy Resistance training 3-4 times a week. I am 6'0 feet tall and only 132 pounds. VERY SKINNY WITH A FAST METABOLISM !! So, the five scoops recommended (if taken with water only) is about 520 calories in a scoop. The scoop is the smallest I've seen relative to how much calories is in it compared to other supplement products (and I've tried countless ones). You are getting a great deal of calories for how much a scoop is. If you take it with milk (as I do and recommend for better taste and an increase of about 300 calories if used with 16oz), you get a total of about 850-900 calories in one drink filled in a bottle shaker with 16oz used. THAT IS GREAT! Again, one scoop = 520 calories. With milk it is 850-900 calories. The taste is the BEST I've ever tasted in a protein shake! The missing sugar content is the only concern I have with this product because it is very sweet and is not listed. Doesn't taste like a protein shake, but one you would get at a smoothie place! No weird feelings as some users reported but that's on an individual basis. So far so good and will report actual results over two weeks. Bought this to gain weight fast after many products have failed with my metabolism. Hope it works!! UPDATE 5/5/13: Well, first jug down over the course of 2 weeks using 2 scoops a day. Went from 132 to 136! One thing I would add to my original review is that it does mix very easy, I forgot to mention that. Over the next 2 weeks I will upgrade to 3 scoops a day and see how that goes. Will update in 2 weeks!!
