Hey I’ve just posted a little something comparable on the subject off Build Strength, Lose Fat and Gain Muscle » Just Keep The Change on my web-site yesterday morning. How tiny is the web :)

“It’s actually impossible to both lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. One requires a caloric surplus, the other requires a caloric deficit.” – Adam

I’ve seen this, ummm, logic, on a few websites, but it doesn’t make sense to me:

1. If your calorie intake is more than your expenditure, then the surplus will be stored AS FAT. (If your expenditure is more than your intake, your body will burn some of that fat to compensate.. provided you don’t trigger the starvation response)

2. If you use progressive resistance, then your body makes an attempt to rebuild the muscle to be stronger (to cater to that level of demand in the future). Rebuilding the muscle will require energy (it’s not just about calories, it’s also about amino acids, etc. but that’s beside the point).
The twist is, that to my understanding, rebuilding of muscle is considered by your body to be calorie expenditure.
So, progressive resistance training actually helps to achieve a calorie deficit – which is where you want to be if you want to reduce body fat.

Lol, Christian, 10×10. You don’t know what you’re talking about. And don’t tell me it worked… You know it didn’t :)

@ Adam –
I completely disagree with your position. It is entirely possible to build muscle and loose fat at the same time with proper nutrition – Eating Clean along with sufficient protien intake.

It is a very simple premise which you and the other readers here might want to investigate, stronglifts.com is a great resource for just that.

Yeah, actually I think it’s almost entirely built of those, just with a few tweaks. Nothing wrong with that though! Thanks Carl :)

And Leo, yes, I think that you would be able to find one or two nuggets. Uphill sprints etc. are also great, I mean, there’s 1000′s and 1000′s of ways to build a great body and mind. Right?

Great resource. I have been focusing primarily on anerobic/aerobic workouts like uphill sprints and single leg squats but will take a look at this book and see if I can find a nugget or two to use.
