I want to get big muscles but at the same time I want to lose my muffin top. Is this possible or should I focus on one goal at a time?
Is it possible to lose fat and build muscle at the same time?

feet
just lift and diet bro, when you are cut enough you can eat more and keep lifting. Dont overcomplicate shit
Lift, eat (some) protein, and do 30mins at least of cardio. Your body will metabolize the fuck out of your fat to use as energy. Cardio doesn’t kill gains, it makes you “look smaller” because of less fat. Definition is the end goal and fatties literally cannot have defined musculature
If recomping actually worked do you really think anyone would waste all that time doing bulking and cutting if they could just do it both it at once?
arnold would literally grow into a show, getting heavier and leaner at the same time lol
>b b but he was juicing it d d doesn't count
doesn't matter, it still proves it isn't impossible to grow muscle while losing fat so you're wrong
there's a study on elite gymnasts among others which involved eating a high protein diet and daily training which clearly allowed for muscle gain while losing bodyfat all the way to single digit bodyfat, the reason why almost no one realises this is possible is because you don't gain fat while doing it which is what people mistake with muscle gain 99% of the time they think that having a slightly smaller measurement on their muscles
after a cut means they lost muscle when in fact it's just the lard they had, there's also extra cellular water weight that goes away as you get leaner, when you actually measure contractile tissue is when you know whether or not you're losing muscle during a cut and countless studies that involve DEXA and MRI scans show it is possible all the time.
the reason why competitive bodybuilders bulk and cut is because they want to maximize gains and maximize leanness not because building muscle is impossible while losing fat although it most probably is on the later stages of a contest prep as they get too lean around 6% bf or even lower
>he was juicing
>doesn't matter
retarded
>b b but arnold did it
that's nice. now tell us about your experiences recomping.
Those feet are beautiful, be real with me how does it feel to have feet like those on your face?
>Is it possible to lose fat and build muscle at the same time?
Only if you are complete beginner with atrophied zero muscle mass. See "noob gains".
Newb gains are strength gains not muscle gains.
Your body will not build muscle without a calorie surplus.
False
With a small calorie deficit (~300kcal) your body can tap into body fat for energy to build muscle.
The key thing is to consume enough protein (0,8g per lbs) and keep the calorie deficit small.
And ofcourse train your muscles.
This is why fatties should concentrate on losing weight and not worry so much about lifting. They need to get thin fast and then build muscle with bulk/cut cycles. Anything else is ridiculously inefficient, bordering on pointless.
How long is a typical bulk and cut cycle?
Bulk - at least six weeks
Cut - until all the excess fat is gone
Then repeat.
>Is it possible to lose fat and build muscle at the same time?
Not possible, not even on a gram of tren.
>Bulk - at least six weeks
it's literally pointless to bulk for six weeks on fucking steroids and you think you can build any muscle mass in 6 weeks as a natty? Guess how i know you don't even lift.
>it's literally pointless to bulk for six weeks
Every reputable body building website and forum recommends six weeks minimum.
But you obviously know better than everyone else, lmfao.
Recomp works if you're an absolute beginner who's skinnyfat/morbidly obese but the muscle gain/fat loss is going to be exponentially slower than if you did dedicated cutting and bulking phases so its a trade off.
good post
what a cutie
i wanna watch her poop
Yummy delicious FEET
Yes but it’s fucking very inefficient
I am coming to the frightening realization that I will be a skelly by the time I get down to a reasonable fat percentage. I was like 220 at almost 30%.
I've lost almost 50lbs and I'm still flabby as fuck.
>feeling self conscious about being fat and skinny at the same time
