  There is no healthy way to increase muscle mass quickly. Sometimes boys will have a growth spurt when they go through puberty and testosterone helps their muscles develop. But mostly developing muscle mass is about consistent nutrition and training – eating right plays a big part in this.
  
  Some bodybuilders take all sorts of dangerous and often illegal drugs to get ridiculously pumped up bodies (that actually are no good for anything active as they are too big) like human growth hormone and steroids. But these don’t do your health any favours, and although it makes your muscles grow it makes other bits shrink, if you know what I mean.
