the body tends to want to maintain homeostasis. If you overeat for a short period of time, you will speed up your metabolism and put on some muscle. After a few weeks, you metabolism will go to its regular level, and you will start storing fat. So try two or three weeks with the weight gainer, like 1000 more calories than your maintenance, and then use protein for two weeks to keep your protein up but let your metabolism readjust. Lift very heavy for the three weeks, then ease off slightly during your two weeks. If you pt on a pound or two of fat, some light cardio during the two weeks will pull that off.
