Complete Muscle Gain Guide (Beginner to Intermediate)
Muscle gain (hypertrophy) comes down to 3 main pillars:
- Progressive Strength Training
- Calorie Surplus + High Protein Diet
- Recovery (Sleep & Rest)
If even one of these is missing, muscle growth will be slower.
1. Training for Muscle Gain
Best Exercises (Compound Movements)
These build the most muscle and strength:
- Squats
- Deadlifts
- Bench Press
- Overhead Press
- Pull-Ups / Lat Pulldowns
- Barbell Rows
- Lunges

2. Nutrition for Muscle Gain
Eat in a Calorie Surplus
Consume about 250–500 extra calories per day above maintenance.
Aiming to gain:
- 0.25–0.5 kg per week is a good target.

1.6–2.2 grams per kg of body weight
Examples:
- 60 kg → 96–132 g protein
- 70 kg → 112–154 g protein
- 80 kg → 128–176 g protein
