It has been proven for many years that the body does not need drugs or supplements to be in its most physically competitive condition. Building muscles is not all about what you put into your body other than the foods you eat to sustain the muscular growth. By eating the right combination of foods throughout the day you can maximize your muscle building potential and shorten the time of your growth periods. It has been done since ancient times with the Greek and Roman gladiators and sports men being in top physical condition without the need for any drugs of steroids. Finding the perfect line of eating right by not overeating and gaining fat mass and not under eating and losing potential growth can be tricky.

Eating a high energy breakfast is essential if you are training in the morning otherwise you need to fuel your workouts with complex carbohydrate around one hour before you train. Muscle building requires energy to not only do the exercises but also to grow the muscle cells. Without adequate amounts of protein and carbohydrates the body will not grow properly and may even loss muscle mass. Overtraining can also be another factor in muscle loss so make sure to rest your muscles after hard training for at least 48 to 72 hours.
