Rest is also very important. Sleeping will help in repairing muscles so make sure that one takes atleast 6 hours sleep in night. During the night, the higher concentration of growth hormones are released which help in gaining muscle mass.

Don’t over stress with extra rounds of exercises as it will cause unnecessary fatigue and release stress hormones.
One should workout under the guidance of a gym instructor.
