A member asked:
What to do if i play tennis almost everyday, and i workout 4-5 times a week.. will this ruin my muscle gains?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: I think that you want to have muscles, but not bulky ones. I think if you work out three times a week and play tennis on the other days, you will be fine. As you get older, it's more important to have a good strong heart and lungs than just big muscles.
