Protein & Mass Gainers
The protein powders and mass gainers I use to hit my numbers — whey for the daily shakes, mass gainer when I need the big calorie days.
This is the protein I reach for every day. It keeps my shakes thick and consistent, and the extreme milk chocolate is the flavor I keep going back to.
GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY™
When a regular shake isn't enough calories, this is the one I grab. It packs a ton of calories into a single shake, which is exactly what I need working my way up from 128 lbs.
Super Mass Gainer®
Another mass gainer in my rotation. I keep both this and the Dymatize around so I'm not drinking the same shake every single day.
Serious Mass
This is my post-workout whey isolate. It mixes thin and easy, and I use it when I want protein without the heavier feel of a mass gainer.
ISO100® Hydrolyzed Protein Powder
The wife got me into Bloom stuff, and their whey isolate is solid. Good flavors, mixes clean, and it's part of my daily shake rotation.
Whey Isolate Protein
My backup whey when I want to switch it up. Reliable, mixes well, and it's usually easy to find a good deal on.
Elite 100% Whey® Protein Powder
The isolate version of my daily whey. I grab this when I want the leanest option in the cabinet.
Gold Standard 100% Isolate Whey Protein powder
Creatine & Daily Supplements
What I take every day next to the food: Bloom raspberry-lemon creatine is my daily, plus the basics I never skip.
This is my everyday creatine. The raspberry lemon flavor actually tastes good in water, which is why I stick with it.
Creatine Monohydrate
Plain micronized creatine monohydrate. Unflavored, mixes into anything, and it's the workhorse of my supplement stack.
Micronized Creatine Powder
I take this in the morning for greens and digestion. Citrus flavor, easy to drink, and it's part of my daily routine.
Greens & Superfoods
My daily multivitamin. With the amount I eat and train, I want to make sure I'm covering my bases.
OPTI-MEN®
I take this before bed. It's part of my nightly routine along with everything else in the stack.
Zinc Magnesium Aspartate
I add this to my routine for gut and skin support. The unflavored one disappears right into my shakes.
Colostrum & Collagen Peptides
Flavored creatine powder for when I want something with a little more taste than the plain stuff. Good option for post-workout.

Shakes & Kitchen Tools
The gear that makes 8 small meals and high-calorie shakes actually doable: shaker bottles, a blender, and the tools I use to track it all.
The classic shaker bottle. I've had a few of these over the years and the wire ball actually does its job.
Classic™
My shake machine. It handles frozen fruit, oats, peanut butter — everything I throw at my high-calorie shakes.
Ninja Auto IQ Nutri Blender Pro
I weigh everything. When you're trying to hit 4,000 calories across 8 meals, eyeballing portions doesn't cut it.
11 lb Stainless Steel Food Scale with Pull out Display
Eight small meals a day means a lot of containers. These seal tight, stack well, and I use them constantly for prepped meals.
Rubbermaid® Brilliance™ Meal Prep Containers, 2-Compartment Food Storage Containers, 2.85 Cup, 5-Pack
The classic water bottle. I keep one filled all day — staying hydrated is part of the whole plan.
Buy New Nalgene 32oz Wide Mouth Sustain
Oats go into my shakes and my breakfast. Cheap, filling, calorie-dense, and I've been eating them forever.
Old Fashioned Quaker Oats
