Best Supplement for Hard Gainers

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/4-be...upplements.htm

The author says that L-glutamine and greens are the best supplements for hard gainers. I would disagree. You gotta have dietary fat on their. flax oil or fish oil. Really anything for that matter. Secondly I would put a good postworkout formula.

Fat yes (helps with hormone production), but in general the best way for hard gainers to gain weight is CALORIES. Most people I know of who are "hard gainers" just don't eat enough.

Healthily fat = higher calories = weight gain

Exactly, however if you tell that to some "hard gainers" they will think you mean eating one tablespoon of olive oil with their PWO MT shake.

Gallon of Whole Milk Daily + compound movement workouts = Weight Gain.

Agreed. One underrated family of fats are nuts. Eat a few extra tablespoons of almond butter a day in conjunction with a fish oil supplement and you will have plenty of fats.

Very true Job. However that can cause a lot of mucus build up in the throat.

Very true Cowin ... excess mucus is a side effect of dairy consumption. I even notice that when I consume lot's of Whey or Casein protein.

One kid I know is definitely what most would call a hard gainer. When i knew him in highschool he was 5' 7" and about 130 lbs. Now he's 170 and can squat about 400 lbs. One of the things he does is drink about a gallon of milk per day along with just eating everything in sight.

Btw dsotm, I like that olive oil idea. I actually do that lol.
