Muscle mass gain: how to track growth and not get fat?

For effective muscle mass gain without simultaneously gaining excess fat, it is necessary to introduce simple but effective habits into your daily life. The basis of control is monitoring progress through regular weigh-ins, body volume measurements, and assessing visual changes in the mirror.

To maintain the general level of activity and prevent fluid retention, it is useful to walk 8 to 10 thousand steps daily. This level of daily activity helps expend additional energy and improves metabolism, which is especially important during the mass-gaining period.

Before starting any workout, a 5-minute warm-up should become an obligatory element, which warms up the joints and ligaments, preparing the central nervous system for working with weights. And the session should end with quality stretching to relieve muscle tension and accelerate recovery processes.
