If you want to gain muscle mass you need to eat enough calories to fuel the muscle growth. Dieting and muscle building are almost opposites that said you can loose fat and gain muscle mass but your diet and routine needs to be spot on.

Basically you warm up for a f minutes to get your soft tissues warmed and your heart and lungs moving oxygen and blood. Then go as hard as you can for one minute then slow…
