Thread: Simultaneously Loosing Fat and Gaining Lean Mass

an aside:

I had my latest DEXA scan yesterday (scan 5) and it showed me that on each occasion I've been scanned I have lost fat and gained muscle. Was it "simultaneous"? probably not. But for the last 18 months my body fat has steadily dropped and my muscle mass has increased. The goal in my training and supps regimen is always to try to reduce body fat and gain muscle mass.

I have not been training long enough to know much about it

but

Based on a doco I watched last night, "I want to look like that guy"

From what I could tell the trainer had him on a clean maintenance diet (based on his starting body fat %) through a short bulking phase of 18 weeks, and then for I think it was 24 weeks his calories gradually lessened until he was at 1900 at comp time. Obviously he was nothing compared to an advanced body builder but he sure did have a developed physique for the time he had been training, I don't see how he could have put all that muscle on during the bulking phase only.

I heard talk of AAS

He was chosen for a drug test at the comp.
