Gainer Chocolate

Skinny Guy Taking Weight-gain Shake?

Okay so... I'm like 5 foot 11 and I weight 120 pounds. I am like 8% body fat. I am tired of being skinny. I went to the market and bought Champion Nutrition Heavyweight Gainer 900.

I am supposed to take this three times a day... which would be like 900x3=2700 calories not counting normal foods.
I am also going to follow the P90X Program that my brother has.
If I do all of this will I gain muscle or just fat?
Should I take this or not?
Thank you for your time.
I am working out, cardio 2x a week and muscle building 3x a week

if you want to gain weight/strength you are going about it wrong. throw away the weight gainer. you need good old fashioned food and lots of it. eat so much you want to puke, and then keep going. seriously.
also, scrap the cardio.....for now. you need all your calories to help you gain weight, if you are doing cardio twice a week, you are working against yourself. once you put on like 40lbs, start up the cardio to get your endurance back.
finally, p90x will not help you gain mass in the long run. because you are so small it may help for a bit, but it is NOT a mass building program. you need a program based on squatting, deadlifting, and other heavy, compound movements done w/ a barbell and weights. you also need a plan for progression in weights. a lot of people go into the gym and just randomly start putting weight on the bar, this is not as effective as adding a tiny bit each session and also leads to sacrificing form for weight because you try to progress too quickly.
i suggest you look into the ''starting strength'' program/book by mark rippetoe. google it, there is lots of info online.
EAT LOTS OF FOOD and DRINK A GALLON OF WHOLE MILK EVERY DAY.

good luck
