Generation Iron Lose Fat Gain Muscle Off Season

Do the off season the right way.

In this game of bodybuilding it’s pretty apparent that the goal is to gain some quality muscle while at the same time shedding the unwanted fat from your body. There’s no point in training hard, gaining muscle and making all that progress only to see it go to waste with a layer of fat over all your gains. The ability to gain muscle and lose fat is what makes professional bodybuilders so special. Your everyday amateur is capable of doing the same thing. No matter how hard a person may workout in the gym, at the end of the day if your diet looks like crap then guess what? You’re going to look like crap too.

So what is the most effective way to gain muscle and lose fat? There are so many different methods out there that will have your head spinning as to which one should be considered. A great deal of people subscribe to the low carb ketogenic diet as their method. Many bodybuilders have a more balanced approach when it comes to their diets however. Usually referred to as the traditional diet, these bodybuilders have their macronutrient levels on the 40:30:30 scale (40% carbs, 30% fats, 30% protein).

The traditional method is great for building lean body mass and promotes muscle growth. But that’s not the whole story. Though the traditional diet is great for gains, when it comes to lowering your body fat percentage it potentially won’t do all that much. This is where the ketogenic diet can work wonders. The low carb diet that promotes more of a healthy fat and protein approach has been proven to be the way to go for losing body fat.

Confused as to what strategy to try? Then follow these tips to help you in your journey to shred and add huge muscle growth.

First Thing’s First

If you should start anywhere when it comes to body recomposition then you should definitely begin with the traditional diet first. Gaining muscle is key to having that shredded look so it should be your first course of action. Once you’ve built up an adequate amount of muscle then it’ll be time to shed that fat. Fat burners are great supplements to aid in fat loss and are both natural and safe to keep you shedding in the short term and maintaining in the long term. The benefits of a good fat burner include sharp mental focus, faster recovery, and a healthy dose of hormones to keep your body running at peak capacity.

Adding high amounts of protein to your diet is a great way to pump you full of nutrients and see those gains flowing. Consider either a whey isolate or whey concentrate depending on your exact goals. Whey concentrate will provide for some added bulk, while whey isolate will allow you to pack on lean muscle with a fewer amount of fat and carbs.
