Building muscle is a common goal, but it’s often misunderstood and can be frustratingly difficult to achieve. Many of you pointed out that our last post on weight gain didn’t cover which supplements actually help and which ones are simply a waste of money with no real evidence. Let’s break it down!
Building a Strong Foundation for Increasing Muscle
When it comes to increasing muscle mass, nutrition fundamentals are key. There are always big rocks we need to prioritise, and muscle growth is no exception. The strategies we discussed last week remain essential—they form the foundation of any effective plan to build muscle.
It might surprise you to learn that dietitians are often cautious about prescribing supplements. Why? Because supplements are simply the cherry on top of a well-structured nutrition plan. They can enhance progress, but they can’t replace the basics like eating enough, timing your intake around training, and focusing on nutrient quality.
