For muscle gain, it is best to take protein supplements and lift weights. Strain on muscles causes tiny tears that are repair by amino acids that form proteins. There are no legal drugs that build bigger muscles.
taking zinc and magnesium will help give your body the building blocks for building muscle.
CoQ10 is a great pre workout supplement, it gives your body higher ATP energy stores to give you more endurance and even slightly more strength during a workout.
Fish oil will give you omega 3-s to help reduce inflammation in the joints. And a solid multi vitamin with B vitamins of substantial amounts (ie 1000% daily value) are great to take at some point before your workout ie 2 hrs previous.
creatine can also increase ATP energy stores for increased endurance. It gives you water weight to help your muscles recover faster and look bigger.
Casein protein before bed is great usually 20-25 grams is perfect.
Whey protein 30 minutes before a workout is beneficial, then after consume 30-40 grams of whey protein with dextrose and maltodextrin mixed in to give you an insulin spike to absorb the protein as best as possible. Or substitute with any normal mass gainer.
Untold, very expensive galons of whey protein; if you are trying to gain muscle weight, the general rule is, eat your three meals if you don't feel like doing that 6 small meal thing, and do each exercise at the gym until your muscles go numb, all while drinking untold galons of whey protein. The harsh reality is, that in today's world, not even muscles are free; the whey protein you see at GNC's store shelves, go from the shelves to your body, so, if you look at it from that perspective, not even muscles are free, you have to literally buy them, however the kicker being, that protein only turns to muscle, if you walk the fine line in the gym between brutalization and injury. You have to train hard to the point of insanity, but not so hard you hurt yourself; that is the general unwritten rule of man-fitness.
Anabolic steroids are used (illegally) by athletes, to build up muscle mass, but they have side effects, as all drugs do. I recommend that you build muscle mass by exercise and a high protein diet, not by drugs. It's more work that way, however, you will be much healthier.
To prevent loss of muscle mass your goal should be to build muscle mass. This is obtained through exercise; specifically weight lifting or just something that keeps you active. As you age it may be more difficult to engage in the activities you used to. It is recommended that elderly people par take in Tai Chi to keep up muscle strength. Do not do yoga if trying to gain strength. Yoga makes you flexible and it feels good but it decreases your muscle tone making it more difficult to build up strength. Hope this helps!
They are substances taken by an athlete to enhance and improve the athlete's performance. They may be taken orally or by injection. These drugs build muscle at a fast rate and reduce pain from injury among other things. Click on the 'Performance Enhancing Drugs' link on this page to read more about them.
You can build muscle while working out at any time; however, you may feel more energetic earlier in the day, which may give you the ability to put more effort into your workout, building more muscle.
A healthy muscle mass percentage is 28 percent, which is the average. Some may have 36 percent or more, and that is fine too. The more muscle mass you have, the higher the number will be.
What builds muscle is the fusing of "satellite" cells to the muscle fibers. When those cells fuse, they provide nuclei for the growth of the fibers. Different stimuli can cause the cells to move to and fuse with the fibers, such as insulin, growth hormones, and testosterone. When muscle fiber is damaged, growth hormones may stimulate the satellite cells to go to the point of injury and fuse to the fibers, which may result in increased muscle mass. But, it certainly is questionable as to whether the "no pain, no gain" mantra or the injection/ingestion of growth hormones or of testosterone is wise for the building of muscle mass.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics and muscle relaxants may help. An injection of corticosteroid into the piriformis muscle, close to the sciatic nerve, can also ease pain and reduce swelling.

Muscle mass is important in maintaining a healthy body. Depending on age and physical activity level, the average muscle mass percentage lies between 38% and 54% for men and between 28% and 39% for women.
It really depends on your body build. You may be big boned and very muscular, or small boned with very little muscle mass. This really effects your weight, but does not mean you are overweight or underweight. Using a BMI (body mass index) calculator, you can determine your ideal weight, but this does not take into account your body build.

All drugs in the muscle relaxant class may cause sedation. Baclofen, when administered intrathecally, may cause severe CNS depression with cardiovascular collapse and respiratory failure
