Fat
Loss Muscle Gain Myths Exposed!
"Beat the odds and increase your
chances of
gaining muscle and losing fat permanently!"
Have you been hitting the gym harder than
ever, trying desperately to achieve your fat loss muscle gain goals?
As a personal trainer who specializes in designing fat loss and muscle gain programs, this comes as no surprise
to me.
While fielding questions about the "next best" fat loss muscle gain diet and the "latest and greatest" weight
training routines has become an expected part of my day, the sheer volume of muscle building misinformation
floating around out there never ceases to amaze me!
While I'm sure you've come across many popular bodybuilding resources that seem to tell you that it's indeed
possible to gain muscle and lose fat. Not many of them are willing to be honest about just how difficult it can
really be to actually achieve your fat loss muscle gain goals!
If your new years resolutions include packing on slabs of lean muscle mass and losing body fat at the same time,
take a few minutes and read through a few of the most common fat loss muscle gain myths, and uncover the truth
about building muscle and losing fat once and for all!
The
Most Prevalent Fat Loss Muscle Gain
Myth...
"You
can't lose fat and gain muscle at the same time"
This is an old one...Spread throughout the bodybuilding community by muscle building purists. The "old school"
bodybuilders still contend that you are not gaining muscle if you're not in turn gaining weight and size.
In reality, it all depends on your definition of muscle gain.
When explaining lean muscle gain to my clients, I often begin with an explanation of lean body mass.
Lean Body Mass is not only a measure of your body's muscle mass, but a measure of all of
the things that make up the mass of your body that don't include body fat.
Examples of lean body mass include:
- Bone
- Muscle Mass
- Blood
- Internal Organs
- Cartilage
It is possible to increase your lean body mass, decrease your overall body fat percentage and gain no weight. In
my opinion, this is an example of gaining muscle mass and losing fat at the same time!

When this type of transformation occurs, it's common for muscle groups such as the arms and thighs to actually
lose some size due to the loss of visceral fat located between the skin and the muscle itself.

Take A Look At These Before And After Pictures...
 In my opinion, this is what it looks like when you gain muscle and
lose fat at the same time. It's definitely a more lean, less bulky look...
But significantly muscular none the less!
On the other hand, if your goals are to simply get as huge as possible, then you are kidding yourself by
believing that you will achieve this result while trying to follow a fat loss muscle gain hybrid training program.
As a rule of thumb....The more dramatic and ambitious the goals, the more intensely and single mindedly you will
need to attack each individual goal!
Don't make the common muscle gain mistake of spreading yourself out too thin. If you really want to increase
your muscular strength and size significantly, then you will need to attack this goal before trying to focus your
attention on losing fat.
Conversely, if you're dying for ripped 6-pack abs, then you need to focus your attention on losing body fat
first!
After you achieve your initial goal, move on the next in line. Becoming successful at this skill is really just
a matter of correctly prioritizing you bodybuilding goals. There are no right or wrong answers here...you just need
to look within yourself and decide once and for all what you really want to accomplish.
If you desire a leaner more muscular look, then attempting a fat loss muscle gain training program may be the
way to go. If not...at least you figured this out before putting in the blood sweat and tears only to wind up
frustrated and upset later on down the road!
Another Prevalent Fat Loss Muscle Gain Myth...
"In order to lose fat perform high
repetition low weight exercises."
This fat loss muscle gain myth is simply not true. In my opinion, the best way to burn fat is to build lean
muscle mass, so I'll focus my response to this myth accordingly.
Any increase in lean muscle mass increases the rate at which your body burns calories. If you add muscle, and
continue to consume the same amount of calories, you will also lose fat as an opposite reaction within the
body.
You could almost say that burning fat is a side effect of muscle gain!
"A Gain In Lean Muscle Mass
Typically Equals A Substantial Loss In Body Fat!"
In order to stimulate lean muscle growth, you need to progressively overload your muscles.
This progressive overload can come from many factors such as:
- Lifting Heavier Weights
- Higher Repetitions
- Longer Rest Intervals
- Shorter Rest Intervals
- Supersets
- Drop Sets
There are really no hard and fast rules to apply here other than to recognize that everyone's body works
differently.
The bottom line is that there are simply no set number of repetitions and weights that will magically cause your
body fat to melt away or allow you to pack on limitless slabs of lean muscle mass.
If you take the time to train properly and stick with the time-tested muscle building basics, your chances fat
loss muscle gain success will be greatly increased!
