Build Lean Muscle Fast and Lose Fat

Some things seem impossible. Like the Justin Bieber winning a Mr Olympia or Miley Cyrus singing fully clothed. Or gaining muscle mass while losing body fat.Yes,all too common refrain heard in the gym-“I want to build muscle but also lose my spare tire”-is most definitely bodybuilding’s odd couple of opposing goals.

Understand that two rules govern the world of muscle heads:

Rule 1

To lose bodyfat,you must eat less

Rule 2

To build muscle mass, you must eat more. That being said, it seems downright impossible to,say add an inch to your chest and arms while tightening up around the mid section. Or is it?

The truth is that The key is timing: alternating heavy and moderate weight workouts while also splitting each week into two dietary phases, a cutting phase and a building phase. At lean muscle we believe this approach not only allows you to achieve both goals concurrently but also keeps your metabolism elevated, which is vital in burning fat and increase lean muscle growth.

Lose Fat

The cornerstone to shedding body fat and getting lean muscle is a controlled method of calorie reduction-specifically eating smaller portion of carbohydrates while eliminating excess dietary fat. As calorie intake declines, your body begins using body fat for fuel, which gives you a lean muscle look making your physique look much harder.

Add Muscle

Building lean muscle requires not only protein but also calories, especially those from carbohydrates. Calories fuel your training and if your body doesn’t have the resources to train really hard, you won’t grow, the lean muscle workout uses heavier weight for fewer reps and longer rest periods to encourage muscle growth over a 3 phase progressive system.

Rest up and Recover

On these rest days cut back on your carb intake and perform cardio only

Helpful Hormones

Cutting and Building are also about hormones, which are influenced by the type of quantities of food you eat.In the cutting phase the name of the game is insulin control.After you eat carbs,insulin is released, not only replenishing your muscles and liver with glycogen but more relevant to this discussion, also pushing dietary fat into body stores and excess carbs down fat storing pathways.

By moving to a cutting phase to a building phase you avoid prolonged dieting,which helps maintain testosterone levels and prevents your body from falling into starvation mode in which metabolism slows significantly.

The take home message here is that conversely,traditional mass building or bulking diets, in which calories are kept high,result in a build up of unwanted body fat.

By alternating phases, you can add lean muscle while losing body fat simultaneously, but you must follow the program carefully set out by lean muscle to ensure an optimal response.
