What causes you to need to put on weight and increase calories for weight training?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You don't: Depends on degree of weight training. Increase in calories(proteins mainly) will give your body the raw material to grow your muscles. The more calories, the heavier the weight training, in theory the bigger the muscle growth.
