Adding More Muscle Isn’t The Ideal Way To Lose Unwanted Fat

Adding More Muscle Isn’t the Quickest Way to Your Fat Loss Goals!

I am sick and tired of hearing trainers tell their clients that they need to gain muscle to lose fat quickly. If this was the case, wouldn’t all of the big guys be much leaner? In most instances it is the guys with a regular amount of muscle that are the leanest guys in the gym.

Gaining Muscle is a Slow and Ineffective Way to Burn Body Fat

Let’s say you gained 10 pounds of pure muscle (which would mean that you probably had to gain 10 pounds of weight). You would burn an extra 120 calories each day from that 10 pound muscle gain.

Want to Lose Fat MUCH Faster? Then Diet and Cardio is the Way to Go

Guys are better off with physiques similar to Hollywood sex symbols, not Bodybuilders.

If you want to gain muscle, then work on gaining muscle. If you want to burn body fat, then diet and cardio is the way to go!
