5. Water. The last thing you want when building that body is dehydration. It will also hold back your efforts to gain that big body mass. For every meal, take water equivalent to two cups and you will be on the right track. The water will allow your body to transport nutrients to their where they need to go.
6. Antioxidants. That monster mass needs to be built on a healthy body to start with. For this reason, make sure that anti oxidants are well in your diet.
