What do you consider the #1 mistake people
make when they're trying to add muscle?
..................................................................................
 Eugene Thong:
Trying to cut body fat at the same time.
Your body is not a great multi- tasker - it is difficult (and some
experts believe it to be impossible) for your body to be both catabolic
and anabolic at the same time.
In other words, you can't build mass and
lose fat at the same time.
It simply doesn't use the same "machinery"
to do both; your body must switch between pathways to synthesize new
tissue and to cannibalize existing tissue.
To the potential trainee I would advise
them to focus on one task at a time - either make an earnest attempt at
gaining mass, then lose excess body fat, or lean up first, then try to
gain mass.
By prioritizing your tasks this way, you
will ultimately arrive at your ultimate goal faster and with less
frustration.
There are tons of places on the web where
you can find the real deal on weight loss and fat-burning (like this
site you’re currently reading *ahem). Want an easy,
painless, NO-COST method to keep abreast of the latest in fat loss, body
