Let's make something clear; muscle mass doesn't come fast and if you want real mass then you're going to have to work at it REALLY hard. Yea that means 9 hours of sleep a night, 5 meals a day and gut wrenching hours in the gym among the other countless variables.
Personally, as someone who has busted his ass in the gym for 5 years now I find your question stupid and insulting to people who have put the blood, sweat and tears into gaining and keeping respectable muscle mass. Why don't you go and actually WORK for it and not ask questions looking for a shortcut? [ MikeCFT's advice column | Ask MikeCFT A Question ]

And dont forgot to eat nutritious food such as egg's yolk, fat free meat, fresh fish or others! natural is better! avoid yourself to consume some multivitamin drugs regularly!
Alin75 answered Thursday October 5 2006, 2:14 pm: If you want muscle mass, nothing at all compares to doing weights.
Now, within weight training there are also different paths to take. If you are interested in pure bulk and pump, then you need a bodybuilder program. If you are interested in raw strength, then you want something involving some powerlifting routines. The regular gym goes usually does something in between, and of course, different bodies respond better to different programs.
I dont know how specific you want this, but the raw answer to your question is weights. With this also follows proper diet and rest. Really those three I like to look at as a 3 legged stool. Remove one and they all crumble down.
So... weights, followed by a diet rich on protein and with a calorie surplus (spread over 6 meals or so during the day... you are looking at tons of chicken, turkey, cottage cheese, tuna, eggs or egg whites, lean meats, whey protein etc.- to mention only the protein sources), and plenty of rest (minimum 8 hours, preferably more).
If you want anything more specific just drop me a line.
