A member asked:

How can i gain more muscle mass when i have a very high metabolism? when i work out i feel that i only gain lean muscle and not bulk. i am 5`9``, 140

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Trainer?: I would ask a certified trainer and possibly dietician. Bulk does come with 'extreme muscle stress', meaning lots of weight, fewer reps. Diet plays a role too.
