A few common mass-building tips:
* get at least a gram of protein per lb of body weight. Yes, body weight, not per lb of lean mass. Take it toward 1.5 g/lb if you're really hitting the weights hard.
* get a similar amount of whole-food carbs, if you're worried about putting on too much fat with your mass, keep the glycemic index low
* Eat about 30 g each of protein and carbs within half an hour AFTER your lifting.
* do NOT run a caloric deficit
* lift big, but train major muscle groups on alternating days to provide sufficient recovery time between workouts
* get enough sleep - recovery and growth happen at night
Cheers,
Friday
