Founder Story

I am Christian, founder of Hardgainer Performance Nutrition® .
I started where many quit: too skinny, too weak, too invisible.

On my very first day at the gym>, I couldn’t even lift the Olympic bar. That feeling of helplessness burned into my memory – a moment that could have broken me. But giving up was not an option. So I came back. Every day, no matter how hard it felt. And then, after weeks of attempts, the moment came: I pressed the bar for the first time. For others a trivial step – for me a monumental milestone. Proof that with relentless willpower, you can push boundaries. That moment ignited a fire in me that still burns today.

In my early twenties, that spark turned into obsession. Training dictated my life – every meal, every hour of sleep, every session was part of the plan. I tested nearly every supplement on my own body, compared effects, wrote protocols, studied countless training systems and questioned every detail. I kept meticulous journals, tracked reps, weights, progress – and failures. It was a cycle of experimenting, failing, adapting, and refining. Passion became a system – forged in everyday life, not in a lab.

Over time I realized: the greatest progress doesn’t lie in quick tricks, but in patiently building routines. Every setback became a teacher, every adjustment another building block. The answer to the question that never left me – How can a hardgainer truly build muscle? – was not in shortcuts but in years of sweat, iron discipline, and the courage to never give up.

I learned in the gym, through forums like bbszene, through conversations and setbacks. I absorbed every detail – training plans, nutrition strategies, supplement debates. What first seemed like chaos and contradictions turned into a powerful learning field. I tested, compared, discarded, and kept what worked. Setbacks became protocols, routines became systems – and step by step, a foundation emerged that still carries me today.

Today, Hardgainer Performance Nutrition® is a beacon for everyone who thinks they are too weak, too skinny, or too late. There is no “too late.” Where there is a will, there is a way.

This is exactly why I founded the brand. Because the supplement market is full of empty promises – shiny labels, but no results. I wanted to find the truth: what really builds muscle – and what’s just hot air? I tested it on myself and translated the insights into clear, effective formulas. Most importantly: almost no product was ever tailored to the special needs of hardgainers. Too often they were left without results. Hardgainer Performance Nutrition® closes that gap – for people with fast metabolisms, high energy demands, and the goal of finally building sustainable muscle mass.

We are radically transparent. We show what’s inside, what it’s worth – and what real difference it makes. That’s how trust is built, that’s how relationships grow, that’s how progress lasts.

“There is no greater freedom than following your inner call – and no greater power than bringing it into the world.”
