Build muscle without adding exercise? While exercise alters existing muscles, the nutritional building blocks of muscle — essential amino acids — must be present in sufficient quantities, and balanced with adequate calories, to rebuild or augment muscle tissue. If a horse is worked hard but lacks sufficient amino acids and calories in its diet, existing muscle mass can actually shrink.
