If you are unsure of where to start, consider visiting your local gym and talking with a trained professional about what your goals are and they will be able to give you a great routine for your body size and goals. Also, you can try using muscle enhancing supplements such as protein powders or Muscle Might to help increase muscle mass. However, you should do your research before taking any muscle enhancing supplements as many can be detrimental to your health.

Below are some easy steps that can help you increase your muscle mass easily and remain healthy at the same time.

1. Eat A Solid Breakfast
We’ve all heard it before, but breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After sleeping for 6-8 hours, you’re body has used up its nutrients and will require more if you’re looking to build mass. Start the day with foods such as egg whites, fruit, oatmeal, and perhaps a protein drink.

2. Drink Lots of Water
Drinking 1 gallon of water a day should help keep you hydrated and your body clean of toxins and impurities. If you’re taking supplements to help build your muscles then you’ll need to flush out your kidneys also. Simply keep water on hand throughout the day. Take water to work, the gym, at home, everywhere.

3. Sleep
Simply put, you won’t build any mass if you don’t sleep, your body needs time to recover from your workouts. Getting between 6-8 hours of sleep per night will ensure that your muscles have time to heal and your immune system has time to recharge. Naps during the day should not count as part of your 6-8 hours of sleep per night.

4. Add Weight, Not Reps.
Only do 8-12 reps. Strain your muscles with each set of reps, but be careful not to add too much weight as your form will become sloppy and your muscles will not benifit as much. Your muscles should be very tired at the end of each set of reps.

These are a few basic steps to help you pack on the muscle. Follow these steps and the other guides on MenMuscleBuilding and you should be well on your way to getting that body you’ve been working for.

For the skinny guys out there, try increasing your daily calorie intake. Try to consume at least 3,500 calories per day in your diet. A good source of nutritious, high calorie foods are nuts, lean meats, dried fruits, oatmeal, and eggs. Also, you should avoid fast food as it contains little to no nutritional value because of the way the food is processed and cooked.

Also, eat smaller meals more frequently. Consuming 5-6 meals a day, no more than 4-5 hours apart will make it easier to increase your protein and calorie intake, but also keep your metabolism going strong. Keep in mind, you will need to continue your existing physical workouts to keep in shape while eating all of this food.

Simply changing your diet to fit your muscle building needs will vastly improve your physique and help you reach your goals more quickly. As stated above, if you are looking for some extra protein in your diet, you can try a variety of protein supplements that are available on the right side of this webpage in the sidebar/navigation area.
