A member asked:
Can you gain a decent amount of muscle with strength training even if you dont have a calorie surplus?

Muscle mass: Muscle mass is gained by consuming more protein pre and post work out. You do not need to add too many calories to your regime. Speak with your trainer or nutritionist who would guide you.
