Hi guys can anyone recommend a good weight gainer that's not crazy high in sugar?
I tend to store weight around the midsection easy.

If your mid-section is the main storage point, I would probably avoid oats like the plague - at least, until you assess tolerance.
Cyclic dextrin - quickly into use and less effect on blood sugar than most fast options from what my glucometer tells me. Very rare for me to hypo on cyclic dextrin. Very frequent on malto/glucose etc. I'd be more inclined to use it intra - you shouldn't really need a PWO carb source then and you get to utilise its set-extending benefits.Fuck really I eat, drink, guzzle loads of oats and I do hold all my excess weight around my gut.
What would you recommend as a carb source in a pwo shake
Waxi maize maybe ?

Oats might suit you but I have seen a lot of people (very much myself included) add stupendous water weight around the waist with it - well, not just water but fatty watery blubber if you know what I mean.
Depends on the whole macro big picture though.
