Nutrition: Nutrition is key to building lean muscle. If weight lifting aim for 1.4 mg/kg of lean protein per day, complex carbohydrates (amount can vary depending in age/size/training) and essential fats (omega-3). Post-workout is important to get quick-absorbing whey-based protein source, lots of water. Train hard!
