Body Building Tips, How To Know If I Need To Gain Muscle Or Lose Fat

By Ricardo d Argence

Have you ever thought in how important is to know when to stop losing fat in the body building process? If you don't know when it's time, you will never get really ripped.

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, they will look like they are starving. They should focus on gaining muscle instead.

I will explain how to use it later. I will just tell you, for one more time, that in this way you will know what you have to do, if you must focus in gain muscle or if you have to lose some fat. So, here you have my famous "gain muscle or lose fat" chart, it is the result of my experience in working with athletes and dozens of men in the gym trying to lose fat and gain muscle : 5'6" - 140 pounds. 5'7" - 145 pounds. 5'8" - 150 pounds. 5'9" - 155 pounds. 5'10 - 160 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.

So, we know now what is really your need. If the conclusion is that you must focus on gaining muscle...then just do it. It will make your body look great, I'm sure that in a couple of months you'll be watching your abs as you have never had before in your life. You are maybe thinking: Hey, I don't want that much to look like those big, huge guys in the gym! Don't worry, it will not happen with the previous chart, you'll have to train (and eat) in a different way to look like them.

Do you want to know how 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.
