If you don't eat optimal amounts of protein, you will never put on the muscle mass that you so much desire. You are also hindering your strength gains as well. If you are going up a weight class and you aren't eating the proper amount of protein, guess what?

  • # 6 Bump Up Your Fat Intake
  • Milk…It does a body good! You should have known this would be on the list. Milk is the drink of all strength champions throughout history.
  • I knew you would like this one. What true powerlifter wouldn't? Now again, don't get me wrong here. The point is that you should increase you lean meat consumption during a mass phase.
