Is it possible to put on muscle while cutting weight/dropping body fat?

Depends on the starting position. If you are fat, 100% yes.. IF you are underweight like I was, No.

This usually happens to people who are new to exercising. They are called newbie gains. If you’re a complete beginner or haven’t been working out for long, you should be able to put muscle while dropping body fat. Unless you start off skinny of course.

Yes

see keto and IntermittentFasting subs

HIIT

you need to understand that increasing testosterone is the key to both. Keto does both. IF easily goes both.

Start with bullet proof coffee in the morning and eat fewer times a day.

It's hard when you start out but it's now easily habituated.

Carbs now feel like being high to me. Carbs / sugar are a drug you are addicted to and you don't even know it.

Guaranteed.

You can body recomp but its slow af

Most people who say no have never actually tried. If you run a light cut with a high protein diet while lifting heavy, it's entirely possible. That being said, gains will come slower, but in my experience, it's worth the trade-off.

if your over 15% bodyfat you can gain muscle and lose fat.

Yea just lift heavy and eat at a caloric deficit. Also eat enough protein.

I’m 6’4 and I weighed about 196lbs when i started lifting 5 months ago (skinny fat). Since then i dropped to 190lbs by lifting 4-5 days a week and eating roughly at maintenance. Some days i was at a surplus while other days i was at a deficit.

I’d say i lost ~2-4% of body fat during this time. I can show pics for reference if that’ll help any.

AnabolLecter · 2018-11-07T17:43:20+00:00

Yes. But not much.

Kabuki431 · 2018-11-07T21:01:48+00:00

MACROS is everything. Count and dail it strictly. You will see the answer in mirror in 12 weeks
