A member asked:

What is the best exercise/weight lifting routine to start with to build up muscle mass?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Trainer: Get professional advise or a trainer. That being said, low reps higher weight, good rest, working all antagonist muscle and consistency will get you there.
