<human>:  What's the best way to build muscle?
<bot>: The best way to build muscle is to engage in a consistent and progressive resistance exercise program combined with adequate nutrition. Focus on compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts, rows, and presses and make sure to rest between sessions. Increase the weight, number of reps and sets gradually to optimize muscle growth and make sure to stay hydrated and get enough sleep for your body to recover.
