Hi there, can anyone share their knowledge on increased bone density with muscle mass gain? I know bone density decreases with age, and lack of weight bearing exercise. I've increase my muscle mass a lot recently, does bone density improve significantly at the same time? Thanks!

    Bone density tends to increase with resistance training. The only way to really know how you're doing in that department is to talk to your doctor, who may do a bone density test.
