Add some oats to that and that is a bad ass weight gainer shake.
Haha, I didn't read the measurements Dolf posted. I actually don't recommend that. Just the ingredients.
I'd go:
1 banana
2 scoops protein
1 tablsepoon pb
1 scoop ice cream
1/2-1 cup of oats

Sounds good, or rather both of yours sound good... I'll just have to find what I need more, aka add Peanut butter if I need more calories/fat, oats for carbs, and whey for protein.
Now if I can get over this damn sickness. I got some form of a bronchitic infection and I've been coughing up green crap... I am definitely recovering form it however as the cough has become much less severe and my throat is barley sore now. Voice is mostly returned to normal but still a bit groggy. I have been drinking a lot of tea and trying to get in a decent amount of food but I'm failing, probably only getting around 4,000 calories in a day or so which isn't horrible when sick but I probably have lost some weight.
Either way I'm sure I'll recover soon enough.
Workout #19 7-3-08 W7D1
Well I finally recovered from the nasty sickness thats been messing me up for awhile and felt good enough to go to the gym today. Not sure if I was too smart but I pretty much just tried a full blown workout... lets say I deteriorated a bit due to the sickness and heavy weight loss however I'm confident I'll return very fast and start topping my prior top lifts very soon. In fact today I actually got one pr although it was damn hard.
Either way I'm glad that I'm not dead and back into the action. Although I'm already very sore, I won't be able to return to the gym until July 7th so hopefully I will be recovered by then.
Weight: 218lbs
Squat: Incrudably difficult, barley got my last rep up and probably would of collapsed if I tried to do another.

Pendley Rows: Couldn't get into position due to leg soreness so I stretched them out a bit then tried again. I actually got into position and did all pendley rows. Didn't really feel like pushing these too much after having troubles on both the bench and squat. Needless to say these where hard to perform today because of my leg soreness.

Still a great return workout, hopefully I can follow it up with another good one on Monday.

Workout #20 7-7-08 W7D1
Well I decided to repeat last workout to correct my schedule and to repeat the failed lifts with a 10% approx load reduction.
Everything went fine, but I was still a little sore. Otherwise I'm just eating large amounts of food and trying to gain some weight. I'm at the point where I don't care if I get a little fat, I just need to add a lot of muscle fast.
