How can I increase lean muscle mass?
The best approach is a combination of resistance training and a high-protein diet with a slight calorie surplus. Done consistently over time, this can significantly increase your lean muscle mass. Some supplements and hormones like creatine or HGH can also boost muscle growth.
Resistance training with progressive overload is key - you need to continually challenge your muscles to grow. Lift weights 2-4 times per week, with full body or split body routines. Focus on major compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, bench press, etc.
Make sure you eat enough protein - about 0.5-1 gram per pound of body weight daily. Get quality carbs to fuel your workouts and healthy fats too. If you aren’t gaining muscle, increase total calories by 250-500 per day.
