I suggest Honor Show Chow 909 and add High Octane Depth Charge. Start at 4 oz per day (2 oz per feeding) and in 3-4 days increase to 4 oz per feeding (8 oz per day).

If they are thin you might also add High Octane Heavy Weight at 8 oz per day.

Ok thank you. Could I give them fitter 35 with all of that, they are structurally sounds but could use some muscle and shape with that mass from the depth charge.

If they are thin Champion Drive is a better option as it doesn’t burn fat.
