Question 1

how to gain muscle

Accepted Answer

Work hard: You gain muscle by subjecting your body to a load that it cannot handle, allow appropriate time and rest for your body to accomodate, and provide your body with the appropriate nutrition to support that activity. That translates into hard work in the gym while avoiding overtraining, getting enough sleep, and eating a well balanced diet. There are no safe, legal shortcuts.

Question 2

Question 5

how to gain muscle fast?

Accepted Answer

Muscle: Want it Bad!: Hi

i come down on the side of letting nature alone.  This means I am not one to encourage body building hormones or illegal supplements to achieve unnatural muscle mass.

But, that said, given your age you can naturally do a lot to get strong and to stay that way. High protein, low carbs, lots of good hydration and muscle training and lifting guided by a good trainer are key.

Question 6

does muscle turn into fat?

Accepted Answer

Not literally: If a person lays off a fitness regime but continues to eat as that person normally would, the atrophy of muscle from being used less and the gain in fat from eating more than is now needed leads to the mistaken idea that one tissue becomes another. Very muscular intense individuals who lay off tend to be the worst overeaters, hence many ex-bodybuilders get obese.

Question 7

how to grow up the muscles?

Accepted Answer

Training/ exercise: It is not healthy to use enhancers or androgens (testosterone and alike) to develop muscle definition or enlargement. You may consult with an sport orthopedic specialist for details. There are many otc or "natural" remedies with an androgenic effect. In the long run users of Anabolic steroids or alike will suffer the consequences later in life. Try exercise and training and adequate nutrition.
