The Myth - Attaining Muscle Mass Without Having Fat

By Abbie Gibbons


Most of you have expressed concerns about gaining excessive body fat while you're on such a high calorie diet, and wonder if you should do some aerobic exercise to cancel out the weight gain.

Definitely not.

That will be detrimental to gaining muscle. For optimum results, you either have to train and diet to gain muscle or lose fat. One or the other. A high level true hardgainer, you can't do both. If you attempt, you will not make any substantial progress in any event. So, the time has come to gain weight. You may worry about fat loss later.

In fact there are no magic pills, powders, foods or exercises that will enable you to build muscle and lose fat at the same time.

All this is determined by your genetics and metabolism. Many people can do it, some can't. If you're naturally thin this will let you difficult time putting on the weight of any sort, it could be silly person to believe you will be able to gain muscle while always keeping your body fat low.

Most skinny guys need to gain more muscle, however they are afraid of gaining unwanted weight. They see all the bodybuilder photos and focus the stories about people gaining pounds of muscle while losing pounds of fat - They would like to do the same. When looking at these photos, you should know that most of those people don't have your body type. Many of them are overweight and want to lose fat, not build muscle.

'Well', you say, 'What about the individuals who transformed their health? They lost fat and gained muscle'. Yes, but the vast majority of these people were overweight, or had high levels of body fat. In other words, their metabolisms were, for the most part, slow. They only dieted and trained for fat reduction.

Weight training exercise helped them to tone up and slightly increase their muscle mass by replacing most of the fat with muscle. However, you will never increase your weight far above your original starting weight with that type of diet.

Quite simply, even though you gain some muscle, you'll actually weight less!

As an example, Big Joe weighs 189lbs with 18% weight. This works out being 34lbs of fat and 155lbs of muscle. He then goes on a fat loss diet and slowly diets right down to a ripped 5% extra fat at 168lbs, that is 8.4lbs of fat and 160lbs of muscle. He lost 26lbs of fat, and also the weight only took place by 21lbs. So, looking until this we understand he managed to also gain 5lbs of muscle. You can see that he has more muscular mass than because he started, and the man looks totally ripped, but his weight decreased because his absolute goal was weight loss. He looks greater, and his measurements changed, but he only increased his total weight by five pounds.

If you are very thin, you can't do this. Yes, your body fat will decrease, and this will also present you with more muscle mass, but it will not likely increase your weight. You are going to just get much thinner. Big Joe was 'big' to begin with; we are not. To have the same results as Big Joe, you should first gain the load, and then pay attention to losing your body fat later. Joe had the scale; he just required to trim down. We do not hold the size to utilize, so we must force your body to grow beyond our body's comfort range. Here is the hard part.

That's the reason if you want to grow past the current size, you have to diet for it specifically.

Remember, most of you have fast metabolisms. Gaining weight will likely be extremely difficult.

The only method you will get bigger should be to shock one's body.

You must shock your body by:

1. Training with big names, and

2. Eating significant amounts of calories.

The very first shock is by using weight training. You have to concentrate on compound free- weight exercises, and lift household names, which will stimulate the main amount of muscle fibers. The body responds to this stimulus by enhancing your muscle mass.

The 2nd way we must shock bodies are by eating more calories than your system is used to. This is actually the most important factor in gaining mass. When you overload one's body with plenty of protein and fats, the body has no other choice but to achieve weight.
