How to stay lean all year round

While building muscle

It probably sounds like an unrealistic dream

But it is possible

I’ve been training for 2 years

Packed on about 50lb of pure muscle mass

While staying under 15% bodyfat

And you can do the same

A recent study came out about this topic

Subjects got a diet and training plan

Training 3 times per week

And there were 2 diets

Equal in carbs and fat

But the difference was

One diet had a 300 calorie surplus

But here’s the twist

Those calories all came from protein

They weren’t consuming any extra carbs or fats

So then what was the result?

Despite being in a calorie surplus

The second group lost fat

AND

Build muscle

So they gained very little weight

While getting in great shape

So the study pointed out

If you’re consuming enough protein

Your body burns more fat when exercising

So if you’re trying to get more muscular

But you don’t want to start a bulk and gain fat

Give it a shot

It might be difficult to maintain since you’ll be low on carbs

But if you really want it

You now got the blueprint

See you next week
