As I pointed out your first goal should be to lose fat. A lot of people in your condition (who want to drop a bunch of fat and add a lot of muscle) often try to do both at the same time (it doesn't work) or are at a loss regarding where to start.
In your case (a guy who is fat but wants to add a lot of muscle) it's always best to get lean first. Face it; you want to do BOTH lose fat and gain muscle. But both goals are fairly conflicting. So you will in due course have to center on each goal for a certain period.
So you will have to use up a few months losing fat, getting lean and a few months building muscle. The question normally is 'which one to do first?'
In your case it's a no-brainer: lose the fat! You do have some muscle underneath so it's not like you are a skinny beginner. And they are numerous benefits to getting lean first:
1. I truly accept as true that having a leaner body when you start a mass gaining phase, the enhanced results you'll get. It's fairly easy to explain: the leaner body you have, the more insulin-sensitive you become... the fatter you are, them ore insulin-resistant you'll be.
Why is that significant? Without being too precise with this, the more insulin-sensitive you are the better you'll be at zoning the ingested nutrients toward muscle tissue. Simply put, the more insulin-sensitive you are, the more of the food you eat will be used to put up muscle and the less of it will be stored as fat.
So the leaner you go down, the more food you'll be able to eat without getting fat...so the more muscle you'll be able to build! Fatter individuals become good fat-gainers because of their deprived insulin sensitivity. This is one of those bad things: the fatter you are, the easier it is to gain fat! Talk about a vicious cycle!
2. When you are lean, you can "notice" more easily how much muscle you are gaining. When you are lean, every pound of muscle gained will visually look like two! This is very encouraging and will assist you train harder and harder.
So I believe that it's fairly easy to see that in your case it is important to lose the fat and get lean fast first. Anyway, for those who just want to get a lean body, by following this program, it will take you there along the process.
When dieting, your body requires a darn good foundation to preserve its muscle mass. Most of your fat loss should come from your diet and your cardio, not weight lifting. Each component of your routine serves its own purpose. The purpose of weight lifting is what? To force your body to keep its muscle and not to lose weight!!!
Stay posted for the work out program
GET LEAN NOW!!!
