“Maingaining is an approach to potentially increase muscle mass or lean mass without gaining a lot of weight or fat, which I feel like is the dream goal for most people,” says Jason Machowsky ...
The inhibition of exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage by HMB is affected by the time that it is used relative to exercise. [29] [33] The greatest reduction in skeletal muscle damage from a single bout of exercise appears to occur when calcium HMB is ingested 1–2 hours prior to exercise. [33]
A 2018 review of the scientific literature [26] concluded that for the purpose of building lean muscle tissue, a minimum of 1.6 g protein per kilogram of body weight is required, which can for example be divided over 4 meals or snacks and spread out over the day.
Aging is associated with sarcopenia, a decrease in muscle mass and strength. [104] [105] [106] Resistance training can mitigate this effect, [104] [106] [107] and even the oldest old (those above age 85) can increase their muscle mass with a resistance training program, although to a lesser degree than younger individuals.

A high-protein diet is a diet in which 20% or more of the total daily calories come from protein. [1] Many high protein diets are high in saturated fat and restrict intake of carbohydrates. [1] Example foods in a high-protein diet include lean beef, chicken or poultry, pork, salmon and tuna, eggs, and soy. [2]

[53] Clean bulking takes longer and is a more refined approach to achieving the body fat and muscle mass percentage a person is looking for.
