No data re this: Best way to increase muscle size is with exercise. But not sure what issue you are concerned w re these muscles. In women, kegel exercises can help. Applying the same concepts to male anatomy might help strengthen these muscles. Also making sure you are of normal weight can help w muscle definition.
