Supplements can amplify your muscle gain if you already have the basics in place:
- Training
- Recovery (diet and sleep)
If either side of the equation is lacking, your muscle gain will suffer.
But...
When it comes to supplements, it's important to look at the facts and not get dragged in by the hype and the BS.
Stay objective, and you'll be fine.
Here are my recommendations:
Monohydrate is all you'll need.
There's loads of other types of creatine, but they're marketing ploys and won't give you anything mono won't.
TONS of studies have been done on the effectiveness and legitimacy of mono, including:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12433852
Plus LOADS of studies concluding that there's many health benefits, including protection against:
- Parkinson's
- Diabetes
- Osteoarthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Brain and heart ischemia
- Adolescent depression
- Ohter age related illnesses

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28615996
So yes, creatine mono has its uses.

I'm a fan of ZMA, especially for recovery.
I mentioned it in the testosterone supplements thread, so it should be no surprise that it's in this one too.
ZMA will increase your sleep quality, and if you're deficient in zinc, your T will sky-rocket.

Alright, let me preface this by saying:
These are only for LEGIT hard-gainers.
Skinny fat guys will only get fat doing this.
Weight gainers are for men who are BOTH:
A) Low muscle, and;
B) <12% bf

If this is you, then this shake could be a game-changer.
MyProtein are great.
