If you are attempting to build muscle you have probably heard of LBM, or lean body mass. Lean body mass is the basic calculation of your weight compared to your fat and your muscle. Most body builders have a high LBM because they have a lot of muscle, little fat, but still a lot of weight. If you are trying to achieve a higher LBM you have probably run across some information that is less then true. Here are a few common mistakes that people make when building lean muscle.
