A doctor has provided 1 answer
MUSCLE PROMOTING: Muscle production is best done by physical stimulation. This gives the body a signal to make more muscle. Weight lifting accomplishes this purpose but it can be done even more effectively, and with less risk of injury, by using static contractions. This will help to increase strength for reps and weight. Supplements that help with muscle growth include l-carnitine, dhea, testosterone, and hgh.
