Eat a high protein, and high to moderate calories for maximum strength and size gain.
Sleep:
Sleep between 7-9 hours of sleep a night for physical and mental health.
Exercise Form:
Preform each exercise with the right form, slow eccentric, strong tight steady motion, focusing on the stretched position.
