  • Everybody wants to gain muscle while getting ripped. When it comes to a better-looking body, fat and muscle are the two main components. Is it possible to improve both at the same time? It can be, but not for everyone.

    So basically, in your beginner phase of working out, you can be in a caloric deficit and build muscle as long as your protein intake is high. But as you become experienced and your muscles become more resilient to weightlifting, it will be much harder to build more while in a deficit.

    It's possible to gain muscle in a deficit not being a beginner and continuing to eat well. Muscle requires protein in order to grow. There is some fat stored in muscle. When you workout the bodies intent is to repair the muscle afterwards so it uses protein you consume and fat to rebuild it. Your body is not stupid so of course if somebody destroys a workout and there muscle is really sore they will gain muscle even in a deficit. The body doesn't want to be struggling everytime to do a task. Why we build muscle. The body tried to do something more efficient by gaining muscle to do so. If it notices it's really hard to do something it usually will try to do it better next time deficit or not. I can personally gain muscle and loose fat. Just train and eat enough protein. Don't always listen to somebody who seems to have your ideal body type. There are many ways to get to a certain muscle mass ratio. Bulking and cutting is not the only way. Look up Jeff Cavaliere. He might have a body type beyond what you want and he doesn't promote bulking and cutting.

    Diet is legit like 80% of the weight loss. You always want to eat a diet that's good in protein, carbs, and some fat with little sugar. Gradually dropping 200-300 calories below your recommended calorie maintenence will ensure you lose weight slowly, but you will lose it and not starve. Nutrition dense foods are amazing.
    The saying, "you are what you eat", has never been more true.

    At some parts he has no idea what he’s talking about
    Do what IFBB Mens Physique and Mens Classic physique bodybuilder’s use. To gain muscle and loose fat at the same time.
    This is how you build muscle on a calorie deficit. Do your best to get an estimate of you BMI. Then from there do your best to estimate eating at a slight calorie deficit with 1g of protein per body weight. Do progressive overload trining. Train everybody part 2x a week with 30 min of daily cardio on the elliptical. Spread you meals out during the day 4-5 meals, with every meal containing protein to produce protein synthesis throughout the day.
    This is called main gaining. It’s way more effective then bulking and cutting.
    I agree with him we’re both not a fan of bulking

    If we assume you are 200 lbs intermediate lifter that is not that close to genetic potential, has bodyfat from 15%-20% and has maintenance calories of 3000 and if that same lifter starts eating 1700 calories per day, he will lose hefty amount of fat while struggle to maintain muscle mass.
    If a lifter decides to eat around 2400 calories, he will gain muscle mass on very slow pace while lossing some amount of fat.
    If a lifter decides to eat around 3000 calories, he will gain muscle at much more rapid phase but he probably wont lose or gain any fat.
    If a lifter decides to eat 3300 calories he will build muscle at very optimal rate while gaining fat.
    If a lifter decides to eat around 4000 calories he is probably building muscle at the maximal rate genetics can offer to him but is also gaining big amounts of fat.
    Numbers are imagined, but they can still stand pretty closely.
    Just pointing fact that everything has its tradeoff. Want to lose fat and still gain mass. Go on slight deficit, but be aware that muscle gain definetly wont be optimal. Want to gain muscle mass as fast as possible? Go strong suficit but be aware that there is gonna be hefty amount of what that will be in need of shrreding.

    02:30 what if your focus is just busting your ass in the gym as hard as you can and feeding your body good food? Won't your body naturally regulate, and still build muscle due to the stimulation from the gym? That's what my body does when I get fat. I can work out for 3 months and my weight will not change, but yet I've clearly gained muscle and lost fat - the body composition has changed. You are on a caloric deficit but what if your body pulls the necessary energy needed from your excess fat tissue that its burning off?

      It's called maintenance if you are not trying to gain muscle or lose fat. Otherwise its called doing things the hard way.

      Its body recomping. Its slower but can work. It works better the more fat you have. Its what i do myself so that i can gain muscle, lose fat, and never feel too hungry. Slow but certainly working. Also good because there are no dramatic shifts in diet over time.

    I have a theory that when you're in a deficit or even maintenance calories for a lower activity level , and the deficit is less or equal to your bodies maximum fat utilising capability at a given body fat range, you will add muscle whilst losing fat as long as protein is adequite. If you are fat you are already in a surplus calories(bulking) but your fat utilisation will decrease as you lose fat and adding muscle in a deficit will become impossible (natural athletes) if the deficit is too large.

    Love the videos Man! I wish I could remember who put out the study. I might be able to find it somewhere.anyways it was a study done on natural athletes and showed even in a caloric deficit on highly-trained athletes they could still put on muscle while losing body fat but they had to do it so damn slow it might not be as efficient as going either way. But if you can do it natural I'm pretty sure you can do it the other way around. I have managed to a few times being enhanced with sarms especially when I used cardarine or 9009 it seemed to free up a bunch of calories to go into the muscle building process it almost made it easy. I'm naturally a Fatboy to was really surprised.I was using four different songs at one time hitting it from several angles and I could not put on body fat if I tried and I was still putting on muscle. Again though that's chemically enhanced on sarms and mk677 plus cardarine and sr9009. I could do in a week what would take me a month to do otherwise. I did this for about two months so I might have experienced I plateauing effect after that I don't know. but two months is a hell of an advantage. Again like your videos and happy New year my friend.
    PS. Try gaining muscle while losing body fat using cardarine and sr9009. It's an amazing difference my friend.

    Im about 12% bodyfat but I wanna get down to about 9% so I look super shredded in my midsection. Does having a low bodyfat slow muscle growth. Ive heard its harder to build muscle at lower percentages but I still want to build muscle fast.

      Building muscle or bulking is better at lower body fats.

    If the body needs extra calories for muscle building can't it just use stored fat as energy? If so that would mean you can gain muscle on a deficit.

    • @stefanvirna2926
      @stefanvirna2926 4 роки тому +2

      Energy is not the only requirement for muscle synthesis. To be in a anabolic state, you need a certain enzyme (m-Tor) to be active, elevated testosterone levels, and other factors such as cortisol, ampk enzyme as low as possible. If you want to burn energy (and this lose fat), you need to shift from an anabolic state, to a catabolic state, ergo low m-Tor, high ampk. So it's not that the body can't use energy from fat to supply its own muscle synthesis needs, its because he can't, due to the different metabolic state.
      Hope that answers your question :)
