A member asked:

Is there a way to build muscles when i have a high metabolism rate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure.: You'd benefit more from keeping your weight training on the heavier side. Your metabolism will keep you lean and using heavier weights with lower reps per set will help you build sizable muscles under that definition. Keep your form and technique strict and your movements slow and controlled.
