Coming to the diet, make sure that you eat five to ten servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Prefer fruit and vegetable salads over snacks. Your objective should be to gain muscle and not fat. Body fats are good but not in excess. As far as your workout is concerned, make it well planned and systematic. Make a weekly schedule for yourself and record the type of exercises you would be doing for each muscle group.

This plan should have enough of space for rest—an integral part of your exercise schedule. If you do not provide rest to your muscle, it remains under stress and won’t grow. Ensure to provide rest of 24 to 48 hours to each muscle group, and do not exercise all six-seven days a week.

Doing squat and dead lifts is always a good idea, and you should do it every week if not every time. They help in releasing testosterone and other growth hormones.
