I'm 21 in the US trying to gain muscle mass while staying lean, any advice?
I work in masonry so my day is kinda intense labor. Thanks!

    Hi
    You could try carb back loading. Lots of info on google.

    A friend of mine tried it and gained about 14 pounds in a year whilst still looking lean. I think he was around the 140 pound mark when he started.

    He also done a lot of compound moves at the gym which helped. Your job sounds like hard work so exhaustion and fatigue are also going to play a role if you weight train.

    It's about experimenting and finding the right balance between eating, working and exercise.
  • Hello! You may also try to repost in the GAINING WEIGHT section to solicit additional feedback.

    Best of luck to you!
