I need someone to point me in the right direction as to which mass gainer to take, cost, and how much it costs. I personally don't want to take it up until this point, because I'm afraid fat will gain at wrong places. I'm also looking to increase bone mass, waste size, face fat/cheek bones, and of course muscle mass. Also another thing is if I need protein shakes.
Lately I have been off track, but my body still has its structure because I have worked out regularly as an amateur in the past, and I also have had intense training in badminton. If anyone knows about badminton, it's all about 70% stamina/cardio vs 30% strength. I'm also more of pinner person because of my training and I rarely work on legs because badminton takes care of that.
Plan 1) was to go to the oval and do some research to do stuff in better form and how to work out. Also how much to take protein shakes or shakes in general. I love the oval and I won't go anywhere else because it's worth the money and the investment in the facilities. It will be great if someone could literally guide me at the oval, sort of like a mentor, but I know that can't be always the case
Plan 2) was to go to TCC and get a personal trainer (cheaper I believe) to know all the good forms and proper way to work out, then when I have the knowledge after a month, I move to the oval because I still like it there.
Obviously Plan 1 is cheaper if someone could help me out and it would help a lot. I'm pretty serious about this and I'm ready to take on whatever it costs to show some real good results, but also to get things as low costs as possible because I will be paying everyone alone

Easier to workout with a friend who know what they are doing. Why spend money on a trainer when you can get information for free? There is the internet, peers and people at the gym that can easily help you out. I am currently on a weight gainer too, Ultimate Nutrition's isomass: xtreme weightgainer. I got a tub of 10 pounds for 80$ at xfuel on boundary. It contains creatine, gulamine and significant amount of protein for me to get it. I had a friend who used to take it and I decided it may work for me too. I started out at 5'8 140 pounds and 3-4 weeks later, I am at 155 pounds with big gain in muscle and weight. There are plently of websites to help you out, as example:
http://www.nowloss.com/how-to-gain-m...-same-time.htm, and the bodybuilding forums. Each day of workout should focus on a specific muscle, my routine is: Back, Chest + Tris, Arms(Bi,Tris+Forearm), Legs, Shoulder + Abs, and sometimes cardio.
