Reminder to not try to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time

[WannaBeA6]

Reminder: Losing fat is FAST and EASY compared to gaining muscle, and if you can't decide which one to do, lose fat.

I could rehash the same points about how low body fat makes your face look good and it's better for overall body aesthetics, but there's more than enough of that out there for you to read already. In fact, if those points haven't convinced you already to pick fat loss, you're probably not overly...

Yeah i prefer being slight more fat for 4 months for twice the gains

Yep same, we think long term

Not true. A novice who is very weak and unmuscular, with a little fat (skinnyfat) is better off eating at maintenance or slightly above while they get strong as fuck on compound lifts

Your leanness is limited by your muscle mass. If you have no muscle, you will never be very lean unless your genetics dictate it (in which case you'd already be very lean)

but "little fat" also means fat in the face, so what you're saying is you should sacrifice your face gains for body gains, which is very against the whole point of this forum. You don't focus on face, you lost the point of this forum

No, you make a short term tradeoff so that you CAN have a lean face later. Guessing you aren't even lean

lmfao, what does having muscle have to do with having a lean face?

If you get lean with very little muscle mass, your face is gonna be failoed by your pencil neck, and frail body.

That's just a head shot, so imagine IRL where body/size also becomes a big factor.

Point is that if you're undermuscled, you're not going to reap as much benefit from getting lean as someone whose jacked. You've gotta lean bulk at some point if you wanna put some size on your frame.

I'm not going to spoon feed information to you when you have an entitled know it all attitude. Figure it out through experience, come back to me in 6 months when you haven't achieved your leanness goals and we'll talk

It can be done. In fact it's nowhere near as difficult to be done as you lazy zoomers make out and understand you unlike us millennial aren't natural athletes, but the only downside to it is its not optimum for lean muscle development.

You won't build optimum lean muscle. It's nowhere near as bad as these sub 25 Yr old bro scientists make out however

Yeah, but not a skinnyfat, you should Auschwitzmax and then "lean bulk" it's faster and you'll look better
