Nutrition ; exercise: Good nutrition including protein. Optimal range of protein intake for an athlete trying to gain muscle is .72-.81 grams per pound per day. Resistance traing(weight lifting), using the high weight, lower repetition method will build mass. Work the muscles to fatigue, but only work out any one muscle group every other day. The rest period is essential for the muscles to rebuild themselves.
