I'm one of those hard gainer types, and i have been taking supplements after my workouts, but i still can't seem to gain much mass, how can i improve on this to reach my fitness goal?

When size is the main goal of your workout it is very important to look at the amount of rest between your workouts.If you don't allow enough time for each muscle group to rest before you train it again, then you're essentially tearing down the muscle but not allowing it to rebuild (which needs to happen in order to increase muscle size).
Another factor is exercise intensity. Usually this is the part that most people focus on the most when training for size, but without proper rest the intensity might be lacking in efficiency as well.
The third, and equally important part, is nutrition. Without proper nutrition, gaining muscle is an uphill battle. Getting enough calories is extremely important. But equally important is where those calories are coming from. 40% carbs, 40% protein and 20% fat is a great ratio for muscle gain.
Taking a good look at these three factors will help maximize your efforts and help you reach your goal.
