Whereas the majority of women engaging in resistance training prioritize fat loss to attain a leaner physique, men typically pursue a fundamentally different objective: they seek to substantially increase muscle volume, enhance muscular endurance, and develop functional strength. What precise nutritional strategies, supplementation protocols, and training methodologies enable the attainment of these ambitious goals in a manner that is both effective and physiologically balanced?
The best diet for mass is the rule
The diet for weight gain is to provide the necessary raw materials from which the body will be able to build additional muscle structures. We avoid cases where the goal is to gain weight, not only muscle, but also fat (this is the case, for example, during recovery). In order for the body to have processes that allow it to develop muscles, the body needs to know that these structures are necessary for it.
A diet based on assumptions
Here I'll allow myself to put in an unpopular opinion that many people seem to forget over time. A basic element of a weight-for-mass diet is not protein or protein-carbohydrate diet, but a well-balanced diet that has an excess of calories relative to our needs. Sounds complicated. Not necessarily enough to know a few really basic rules: Depending on our initial weight, but with increasing physical activity (strength training several times a week), we need to increase the amount of energy we provide.
Diet by weight sources of nutrients
I may be disappointing a few people, but I'll quickly explain, referring to the previous paragraph, that we're not going to be talking about extra pizza per day or more soft drinks per day (with or without a percentage). To provide more energy that the body will be able to use to build muscle, we need to follow the guidelines that are in place when we start a balanced diet. The basic guidelines are to minimize high-processed foods, that is, people who eat fast food, to reduce the amount of fat and carbohydrates in a day. Because of the fact that there is a higher amount of energy in the body than the body can use for muscle building, we have to use the guideline that is in force when we eat high-carbohydrate protein, and we eat at least two litres of water per day, and then we eat our body fat. There's a need to make up to three liters of body fat per day. There is, of course, an enzyme that we can use to measure the number of fat in our body, which is about five times as much as we eat fat, so that we have more weight, and,
