A member asked:
Hey doc how can i gain big muscles? i'm working out from the last 1 year and i'm gaining weight but not getting the desired result due to my stressful job i'm an software engineer

The goal of: working out should be to be healthy and strong. Muscle builds slowly by working out for years and gradually increasing the weight lifted. Cardiovascular exercise has more impact on stress management, so for your mental and physical health, I would recommend a combination of cardio and strength training. Psychotherapy can also help learn ways to cope with job related stress.
