1.  5 star.
   People, use some logic when you write a review about weight gainers. If you don't workout, and you decide to take a weight gainer, then use some common sense. An average person takes around 2000-3000 calories. If you take 3 meals a day, and drinks this stuff once after every meal, then drink one more before going to bed, you are drinking the entire 5000 calorie servings per day. Like any other weight gainer, this will help you gain your body's maximum weight gaining potential per day. But the catch is you have to work your ass off in the gym. I was 6ft, barely 140 when I started working out 6 months ago. Now I weight 170. My bench started from 130lb, now it's 305lb w/ same # of sets. Barbell curls went from 40lb to 90lbs. Squats went from 180 to 605. And don't get me started on my back workout and military press. I am a hard gainer, but I trained my stomach from drinking lots of soup (like 4 cans of chunky soup per meal). This will increase the size of your stomach, and allow you to feel hungrier during meal time, then you can consume a lot of calories, and see massive results. I also take creatine to lift heavier weights. With heavier weights comes more dramatic gains. One protein shake after every workout, and one before bed, but you can replace the protien shake with weight gainer 5000 if you please. If you are a hard gainer and skinny like me, follow my plan, but when you hit the gym, do maximum weight with 4-6 reps, no more than 2 sets. Try building muscle over your entire body, certain parts of body releases testoserones, and you will see huge gains. Don't stay longer than 1.5hrs in the gym, come back home and recover with a protien shake. Best of luck. -Brian

1.  Hope it Works
   I met Val Vasilef in person. He developed this stuff. I recently decided to start working out and I began looking for the right healthy supplements. Then I remembered Val telling me about his Russian Bear weight gainer. When he told me about it, I told him I'd never heard of it and his response was, "While it's available to anybody, it's only popular among the world's elite athletes and Olympians." His grandfather was the "Russian Bear"(strong man in the circus) in the former Soviet Union/Russia. I'm going to give this stuff a try. You can't beat the price for something that has only good reviews.

1.  awesome stuff
   tastes great compared to any other protein/weight gainer. i bought it a while ago after thinking it was a little sketchy....boy was i wrong. i haven't had any stomach problems and i feel more energetic and i can feel a difference in muscle density and size. i gained a few pounds of solid muscle after only a week and a half! i highly recommend russian bear 5000 for anyone who wants to gain alot of muscle mass.

1.  gains like crazy!
   i was in the store looking for a new weight gainer,so i stumble on russian bear 5000. this summer i notice gains right away and everybody else,this stuff is so potent u need to take it in small amounts as recommended,and drink alot of water,remember to much of anything is not good,do it in moderation. ok this is for hard gainers,not only u have to drink this stuff threw out the day,but u also need to eat and i mean eat,and get in the gym and hit the weights hard,stop complaning, i too use to be a hard gainer, i use to weigh 195lbs. every since i took russian bear 5000 i now weigh 210lbs. would have weighed more if i would have eat more, i only got sick from drinking too much of it in one setting,and i did'nt drink enough water.

1.  FINALLY !!!!!!
   I am 6'2" and wegted 157-165 pounds like all my life till the age of 23. I was like so sick of ppl constantly throwing at me "i can see thru you", "do you eat?", "you so skinny!"....... ughhh i could go forever. I even boxed for 3 years and looked as skinny as before. So I decided to do steroids even if i need to to gain weght. Then like a miracle I find Weightgainer 5000 and Russian Bear 5000. Since it didn't have the crazy 'roids a-17 chemical substances in it I said to myself this is something to start on and give it a shot. I drank for 9 days straight 4 small drinks of 450 ml Milk and 2/3 scoop of Russian Bear 5000. Worked heavily every 2 days. ---- 5 LBS of LEAN MUSCLE !!!!, shoulders look like I am a man again. Will drink this stuff till i reach 220-250 LBS at least. BEST ever product will recomend to anybody who has problems with gaining weight. Side Effect: Headache, but who cares if you look good.

1.  BS formula, ideology
   5000 calories, 300g protein and 1 gallon of milk. BS. If you need to try this to gain weight you need better direction. How about instead of blowing $20 a "serving," you get on an actual diet. If you want to suppelement protein, get some whey, but focus on an apt diet and weight gain will come. The "not gaining fat" part =lol

1.  Best Product...Best Deal
   This is a great product and at an even better price. It tastes amazing too, I mix 1 scoop with 1 and 1/2 cups water and 1 and 1/2 cups of 2% milk. Due to an injury I am ristricted to doing push-ups and other non weighted workouts and after 2 weeks of taking only 1 scoop a day I am already gaining muscle and feeling stronger, I can't wait too see what happens when I can get back in the weight room!

1.  HxC
   This stuff is Hardcore. It'll get you bulked up like crazy. I've already noticed results and I just bought it not too long ago. I just take 1 1/2 scoops after a workout then another protein supplement right before I go to bed (Probalic's 12 hr. release mix is recommended) and you're set to go. Also take some Enzymes and Ginger with it and it'll help it absorb into your muscles better. It'll also keep you from having the squirts.
   Reviewer: Cabes from Atlanta, GA USA on September 03, 2007

1.  it works
   this stuff works well. i gained 10 pounds in 2 weeks and all my lifts increased dramaticaly. i now clean 230, squat 400 and bench 230. the key is plenty of food and exercise. the best way to drink it is to buy a gallon pitcher and mix in the milk and powder the night before. then drink it all through out the day.
   Reviewer: carleton from lodi, ca on April 26, 2007

1.  good if taken correct

   Reviewer: samdapimp from moultrie ga usa on December 31, 2006

1.  IT WORKS! Its that simple.
   I have been taking Russian Bear 5000 for the last 2.5 months. Not consistantly, but pretty regurlarly. I take it 1 hour before going to bed. I mix 2 large scoops with 20 onces of milk, then add lots of mixed fruit which totals 44 ounces when mixed in a blender. My routine consists of excersing every other day with weights, jump roping while jogging for 1 mile, and drinking Russian Bear 5000 1 hour before bed. DO NOT mix the whole container with a gallon of milk. Mix only 5 scoops with a gallon. I do not do it this way since I like my drink fresh each time. Remember! The only way this powder will work is to take it regularly and make sure you drink enough to add the pounds. You also MUST excercise with weights every other day to start seeing results. I have gained 15lbs with a very noticable size in muscle mass. My wife even said the other day that I am getting too big. I highly recommend this product providing you do it right.
   Reviewer: Bob P from Bay Area California on December 14, 2006

1.  ITS NOT MAGIC
   everyone expects results in 2weeks or less. that is not the case. nothing is magic or miracle workers. u need to work out 4-6 days a week and eat ALOT of protein and then u will be good. I am 21 been lifting since i have been 13 and weigh around 280 lbs at 6'2 oure muscle from eating healthy and workin out 6days a week!
   Reviewer: Arnold from san diego, ca usa on November 24, 2006

1.  ouch
   After 1 day of taking the product, I only have two words - explosive diaharrea. I have no idea if it works and probably will never find out. Tastes good going in, but painful coming out.
   Reviewer: R from NYC, NY USA on September 26, 2006

1.  Doest work at all from a hard gainer
   doesnt work at all ... just tastes great .. and remember it gives you 5000 calories after adding the whole bottle in one gallon milk ... no one in right sense can do that for one serving ... i am a hargainer and finishes it 8bottles of russian bear ... didnt increase a pound ... BUT IT HAS THE MOST AMAZING TASTE a protien shake can ever get ... not to chocolately and not too sweet just perfect tast and nothing else
   Reviewer: Umair from Edison, NJ USA on September 09, 2006

1.  Whatever
   i guess it is a great product that will deliver 5000 calories to you...... BUT, that only comes if you dose it so it only lasts for about a week and a half and have it with a gallon of whole milk each day....seems rediculous... if you take it at a reasonable pace then it is a 3 star product...i just take another star off for all the excess hype it gets

   Reviewer: Simon from The Bronx, NY on February 04, 2006

1.  Great stuff
   Finally a weight gainer that truly works when used proper. Just drink daily and make sure you have a a daily routine of a good hard work-out. I mix mine with water (not as tasty but less stomach problems) and work out at least 5 times a week. The results -> nice hard, cut muscles that has everyone asking "what you drinking?" it's worth the purchase and hey what do you know its not to expensive. Russian Bear 5000 is a good 5 star probuct.

   I bought it like couple weeks ago, kinda sceptical, but why not I thought. Well, here I am, only 2 weeks, and I gained like 4 lbs, not much, but it has proved itself that this is the best s*it out there. I tried everything, nothing worked like this. How come they don't show this item at bodybuilding.com ?? Man, that site must be filled with bunch of idiots.

1.  RB5k+hard work = BIG Gains
   I tried this stuff about 4-5 months, for about 30 days. I was 6'5 and weighed 165 lbs. after 1 month my bench max had went up almost 50 lbs and I gained 22 lbs of lean mass. After taking this for almost 4 months my weight went up to 215 and my bench is now 290 lbs. I work out 2 times a day 5 days a week and after every workout i can see a difference. For tall, slim, skinny a** guys this stuff can help you reach the goals you've always dreamed of. Thank you Russian Bear... nothing comes close.

   I really dont know about this product. I mixed 5 scoops to one gallon of milk as recommended and drank 1/4 of it and boom i was on the toilet for 2 hours. Went to work and had to keep running to bathroom. My you know what is so sore I cant sit down. Maybe after I mix it with water and try it there will not be that result.
   Reviewer: Stranded on the Toilet Bowl Man from Dallas, Tx USA on June 18, 2005

1.  STRONG LIKE BULL!
   I have looked around at other weight gain powders, and I simply could not find one with as many calories, carbs, and protein as RB5k. I mix 1 scoop with 24 oz. of milk, which gives me 1000 calories, 120g of carbs, and 70g of protein. The perfect drink just before bedtime. The chocolate flavor is great, although I am getting a little sick of it after drinking it every day for the past few months.

When my friend told me about russian bear I was alright why not. My friend was also told me look at your self in two weeks. I lifted 4-5 times a week hard and didnt even take the full amount just to get 3000 calories and i gained 10 lbs. in 3 weeks. I was astonished. It's healthy, unharmful and it works. Go get it now!
