Drink at least 3 litres of water per day

Muscles that are dehydrated will most likely result in injury, look after yourself.

I see my husband eating lots of protein.

Personally, I am not trying to build any muscle at all right now but I am surrounded by men (i.e. my husband or brothers) who are obsessed with muscles and mass. I don't agree with supplements, but I do agree with increasing the intake of protein foods. For example, eating more of the heavy protein based foods like beans, meats, chicken, fish, by the way flava beans are really good. Oh, before I forget eggs are also helpful.

Tip 3 - Focus on doing the right exercises in the right manner

Research first and don't just start lifting weights because you think they will bulk you up. Every muscle group has specific exercises and even those exercises have proper methods and techniques for the best results. Look into all this and make sure you do it right.

Tip 4 - Give your muscles time to recover and grow

If you keep pumping iron your muscles won't get any time to recover and rebuild. It is the rebuilding process which grows them and you need to give yourself time off from workouts every now and then. So my tips is that you don't push it too hard and make sure your muscles get recovery time as well.

Tip 5 - Collect some protein smoothie recipes
