Heres my problem..ive been bulking for about 2 months and i cant seem to gain a pound..im 170 lbs i want to get up to 180..i see my self getting bigger but when i get on the scale im still 170..i took nox2 and gained about 6 lbs then a few days later i was back to 170..i eat 6 meals a day and work out m.w.f..im taking creatine and protein shakes..should i buy a weight gainer? do they work?
 
Need more info. How many carbs/protien/calories are you getting in on a daily basis. Are you still doing cardio, if so how much? Generaly when you arent gaining, it means your not eating enough.
 
Weight gainers = Tons of calories. That's mostly it (except that of course you want to make sure the calories are coming from a good source). Putting on weight means getting more calories, and if you can't eat/afford that many calories, a weight gianer is something to look into.

What does your routine look like???
 
There is the possibility that you're burning fat and just adding muscle slowly. I have three questions-
-How much cardio are you doing?
-How many calories a day are you eating?
-How much are you sleeping?

If you're doing a lot of cardio that's one of the problems. If you're not keeping a food log, that's a problem also. Just because you eat 6 times a day does not mean you are getting enough calories. If you really want to nail this weight gaining deal...record everything that goes into your mouth (ie: fiber, protein, fat-keep the sat kind low, and carbs)

You should definitely start tracking your calories. I worked out for 2 months and didn't gain anything, but then i finally started keeping track of what i ate, so i could eat enough, and then i gained weight easily. Go to fitday.com and sign up. it's free and easy.
 
First of all drop all the isolation exercises, they are useless. Keep your compound lifts and try doing 5 sets of 5. The only way your gonna put on mass is if you lift heavy and eat an excess of calories.
 
when i eat things like steak,chicken,hamburgurs,fish etc , it doesnt say how many calories are in the food..how am i supposed to count calories if i dont know how many are in the foods..
