Cut fat while building lean muscle mass - Yes it is possible!

All across many bodybuilding info sources you will hear the "bro logic" that it is impossible to simultaneously build muscle and cut fat - this just is not true! For my first year or so of training this is exactly what I did! While it is true that you will achieve better results by focusing on either bulking or cutting, you can in fact build lean muscle while eliminating fat.The way to do this is as follows :

  • Ensure you are eating a diet high in protein ( at  the very least 2.2grams per kilo of bodyweight )
  • Limit carb intake to clean carb sources (such as oats, brown rice and veges) for breakfast and after training
  • Supplement with BCAA's (Branched Chain Amino Acids)
  • Train with a high intensity - Heavy weights, short rest between sets
  • Do cardio at least 4 times a week- either first thing in the morning before eating or straight after weight training 
  • Use a fat burner such as OxyElite Pro and also supplement with creatine.
  • Train abs 4 times a week so that you can see your fat loss results faster ( your abs will start to show sooner)
