I often get scrawny guys asking me how to lose fat, when they have no muscle underneath the fat. They think they will look good if they "get ripped", but in reality, will look like they are starving. They should focus on gaining muscle instead. This is a harsh lesson in reality, but too many guys are trying to lose weight, when the focus should be on gaining muscle. In fact, through my experience in working with athletes and dozens of men in the gym trying to lose fat and gain muscle, I've come up with a height-weight chart that determines whether or not you should lose weight. Recommended Weight Loss and Muscle Gaining Program"At mid-life, pushing 300 pounds, and highly skeptical of quick-fixes, I learned of Turbulance Training and decided it was a program which made sense.It's about hard work, sensible eating, and getting stronger. I found the efficiency of the program to be appealing. In less than an hour, 3 to 4 times per week, the workouts are manageable on a busy schedule. It produced not only weight loss of close to 60 pounds; my strength increased rather dramatically. I have recommended the program to many men who are seeking an efficient, yet demanding, program for fitness and healthy eating. Todd Thompson, Texas" Try Turbulance Training for your self HERE. Here's the chart, identifying the cut-off weight for muscle building, and the rule below. 5'6" - 140 pounds And so on. For every inch taller, add 5 pounds. For every inch shorter, subtract 5 pounds. For example, if you are 5'8", 150 pounds, you should NOT be focusing on losing weight. You need to gain muscle if you want to look good on the beach and have muscle. Focusing on weight loss would be the worst thing you could do. If you do, you'll look like crap, and practically anorexic, to be blunt. Instead, you must focus on gaining muscle. This will improve the appearance of your body, and take you from a stick-figure to a lean, muscular physique with a better chance of seeing your abs. And don't worry, you're not going to look huge. At 5'8", a guy would have to be at least 180 in order to be considered "jacked" or "huge". And the best news of all? Because skinny guys are untrained, simply starting a muscle building program will give them maximum fat loss and muscle gain at the same time. They are going to get the best of both worlds. To use Turbulence Training to gain muscle and lose fat, simply stick to the weight training workouts only. Avoid the hard interval cardio for at least 4 weeks as you gain muscle, and eat extra calories right after your workout (as well as having a bigger breakfast than normal). These two changes will allow you to gain muscle and lose fat. Author: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS |
