Consume Enough Protein
This is for the guys that are trying to put on size, but don`t consume the right nutrients and portions(amongst other factors) and wonder why they are not putting on the muscle mass!
If you don't eat optimal amounts of protein, you will never put on the muscle mass that you so much desire. You are also hindering your strength gains as well. If you are going up a weight class and you aren't eating the proper amount of protein, guess what? You will put on a nice extra layer of fat around your waist, instead of gaining lean muscle tissue. You should consume at least 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight per day. Protein helps in the recovery of your muscles from the intense training you perform. As you probably already know, protein is the main nutrient responsible for increasing lean muscle tissue. You can work out all day long but if you don't eat the right amount of protein for your specific needs and activity expenditure, then you will never reach your goal, that's guaranteed!
