We have found that EP is good for keeping weight on a dog that doesn't carry it well, though we prefer Orijen or Acana even to keep a normal dog nice and lean.
FWIW, no food is going to put muscle on a dog. A food can be better at supporting muscle mass, but without exercise and a certain amount of resistance muscle will not be built in the first place. EP Power will give a dog an extra boost of energy to get the job done. Dogs training for and competing in races need that extra boost, but even the hard core sled dogs that train through summer go to a 'slower' food in the off season.
I wouldn't avoid corn either except that my big dog doesn't do well on it. Onyx could eat steal shavings and be fine, Crusher, not so much.
