Our program focuses on healthy weight gain for underweight people by helping them to build muscles through a series of properly programmed workouts and by providing nutritional assistance for improved diet.

Maybe you’ve spent a week in the gym, or maybe this is your tenth year pumping iron. Either way, what’s happening just below your skin — like the glory of a great pump or the devastating soreness after leg day — is probably still a mystery to you.

And that’s a shame because, while so many focus on the fine details of how to make their muscles grow, the basics get lost in the confusion. What does it mean to be anabolic? What do terms like “muscle protein synthesis” and “hypertrophy” mean? What really makes muscles grow, and why does building muscle matter?

We need to clear this up. Because muscle isn’t just the show-boat organ of the body — it’s important for our health, longevity, and metabolism. Even if your goals aren’t meaty thighs and boulder shoulders, you could benefit from adding lean body mass. Understanding the basics of muscle growth will help you sort fact from bro-science, and smart decisions from wastes of time.
