If you're an athlete wanting to gain a little bit of muscle mass then this episode is for you.
When it comes to gaining muscle, this is slow progress which is why the saying "slow is the way to grow" is the best way to think about this.
We can't gain muscle as fast as we would like to and because of that, we have to make adjustments to how fast our rate of weight gain is.
Ideally, you should be gaining about .25 -.5% of your body weight per week.
