- Yes… You can Build Muscle/Lose Fat at the Same Time
Muscle building enthusiasts are repeatedly told that they can't build muscle and lose body fat simultaneously. The experts say they need to stuff down excess calories and "bulk up" in order to build the muscle - then go through a calorie-cutting phase to lose the fat. But I say this erroneous notion is just another indication of the prevalence of haphazard training methods.

- “Functional Strength”: a matter for Bodybuilding
“Functional strength”: There are those words again. They rank right up there with “quality muscle” when it comes to people in the fitness industry uttering meaningless jargon that sounds profound on the surface. Of what part of my weight lifting-built strength isn’t functional? At the risk of sounding like a macho jerk; if I wanted to, I could probably slam my fist through the wall that’s behind my computer monitor. That’s pretty functional.

With bodybuilding workouts, here’s the caveat: Be consistent with your workouts when you’ve found a muscle breakdown/recuperation schedule that’s effective. If the one you’re using for any of your muscles is ineffective; STOP being consistent.
