Can you REALLY Build Muscle While Burning Fat? | Educational Video | Biolayne

Citations:

Is it possible to build muscle and burn fat at the same time? Body recomposition is a hot topic right now so I wanted to explain why it's possible, who it's most effective for and why it may not be right for most people who want to put on some serious lean body mass.

Short answer yes long answer it depends

Man, this video came at just the right time for me. I’m completely untrained, new to lifting, and out of shape, and I also weigh 300lbs. I spent so much time suffering from “analysis paralysis” trying to figure out how to best approach a transformation that it hindered me from doing the most important thing, just going to the gym and LIFTING instead of thinking about it. I’m currently in my second week of consistent training, and videos like yours give me the confidence that I’m on the right path. Thanks Dr. Norton!

Oh wow. I used to watch your videos back in high school when I was trying to learn about lifting and nutrition. That was 10 years ago. Glad that you’re still making these great vids.

I know layne has probably had to write about or make videos about this same topic thousands of times over the years, but I appreciate the time taken to continue to reiterate this even today with new information or in new ways for anyone to be able to understand it.

[mrdavecee]

So glad I found this channel! You're a wealth of knowledge Layne.

Thank you, Layne. This was very educational.

Layne, long time follower. Love your material.
I’ve noticed this about myself, particularly when I have to lay off due to an injury, that I am able to build a descent amount of lean muscle and in a not so long amount of time. However, nothing will compare to my very first 1-1.5 years of training

[bradwilliams]

I 100% agree! For most of my time lifting/dieting, i’ve been in a sort of “permacut”. I’m not really eating enough to maximize muscle growth, yet not eating in enough of a deficit to burn significant body fat. In fact, if only in a slight deficit, a couple cheat meals can wipe out a week’s worth of gains. So I agree Layne, pick 1 and go with it, then pick the other when your goals have been reached!

Love your videos and knowledge.. thx man..💪🏽💪🏽

[donthon]

Layne, just wanted you to know I appreciate you bro.

[franklincone]

I've watched 8 of your videos so I subscribed you earned

[nicolasguillenc]

I fully agree man. some of my favorite *educated* youtubers have been preaching body recomp, but they all look impressive bc at some point they did a bulking face… it would be transparent to say that you can try body recomp but won’t have the same results. i think we all need to bulk at some point.

Great video man

[fdddff]

Wow layne, what a creative topic this week... haven´t you answered this question for a thousand times already ?

[fizzimajig]

This video applies to me for sure! I have easily 30-40 lbs of excess body fat and while I have been strength training for a few years, by no means have I been consistent, lifting often enough or heavy enough. I’ve now been working harder, more consistently and with a training program and am eating at a bit of a deficit and I’m noticing major body shape changes this year and am slowly losing or at times dropped clothes sizes without much of a scale change! I’m going to be more focused through next year.

[jaspersquire]

Timely video - gives me motivation to do my 2 month cut after 10 months of lean bulking.

[fattofit]

Anecdotally, I am in the process of recomposition now. “New” to lifting(never been consistent before), and see the inches come off my waist as my muscle size increases, and the weight numbers that I track increase so I know I’m building muscle. I’m in a caloric deficit of 1900 calories, 5’5”, 215 lbs.

[ecrose]

God damn Layne you are always so spot on

[skysthelimit]

I say it can be done! I have been weight training for a few years and just recently decided to lose more body fat and get more muscle and guess what it's happening. Slowly but surely! While the numbers of the scale are going down I can see more body definition and toning all over. It's a slow process but it can be done. Everyone's body is different and what works for me might not work for you but I always say don't knock it until you try it!

[alejandrosussmann]

The best Nutrition educational channel with no doubt!

[yaboicoach]

Spot on as usual, makes alot of sense! I struggle to gain muscle and think being too lean is part of it. Been in a 9mo surplus to see how adding body fat effects lean mass and without a doubt ive gained more strength and size (including fat). But seeing my last inbody surpass my lean plateau was encouraging, so will see if I can keep the 4lb lean gains when in a 1lb week cut in the new year.
