Who is behind Hardgainer Performance Nutrition®
Hardgainer Performance Nutrition® is an Austrian brand from Vienna Donaustadt. We build a system for hardgainers who train and eat but cannot gain weight consistently. Discipline, clarity, progress. Not slogans, but method.
Why Hardgainer Performance Nutrition® exists
Hardgainer Performance Nutrition® was founded in Vienna because hardgainers have a different problem than lacking motivation. Many fail at structure: eating predictably with a high TDEE, maintaining the surplus despite little margin, dosing training properly, taking recovery seriously.
Most products on the market ignore this reality: poor tolerance, unnecessary complexity, zero connection to the target group. Hardgainer Performance Nutrition® is the answer: a system of diagnosis, plan and execution, plus supplements that are hardgainer-compatible: calorie-dense, well-tolerated, simple.

Mission
Hardgainer Performance Nutrition® develops supplements that have always been missing for hardgainers. No marketing gimmicks, no complexity for the sake of complexity. Products that fit the problem, not the other way around.
The Hardgainer Performance Nutrition® System: Diagnosis, Plan, Execution
No guessing. Three steps that connect. That is exactly how the platform is built.
-
Diagnosis
Find the bottleneck
Calories, NEAT, training, recovery, consistency. Profile first, then action. Nutrition: calculate maintenance calories, add a lean surplus, manage satiety.
Hardgainer Test -
Plan
Eat and train predictably
Set a calorie target, control the surplus, simplify meals. Training: stimulus greater than fatigue. Compound lifts, progression, stay between MEV and MRV.
Open tools -
Execution
Consistency over weeks and months
One email per week. One clear order. Recovery: 7–9 hours of sleep, fixed routines, deloads every 4–6 weeks. Growth happens between sessions.
