A member asked:

I was wondering what do i need to do to build muscle mass?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exercise, supplement: To increase muscle mass the body needs building blocks of protein, calcium, magnesium, and a healthy diet. Excercising the specific muscle will make it bigger. Before starting see a trainer or physical therapist to learn how to do,this without injuring yourself or overdoing the activity
