Studying the different styles of muscle workouts, you’re sure to see plenty of variations and confusing concepts. A common theme in many of these muscle building approaches is to eat an excess of calories in the gaining phase and then a deficit in the cutting phase. It’s known as bulking and cutting technique. The problem with bulking up and cutting down is that you are fatter than normal during the bulking phase. But you actually CAN add significant muscle mass that doesn’t bombard you with an overabundance of bodyfat, if you use the right muscle workouts.

“How can I gain solid muscle, and not acquire excess bodyfat?”

The truth is, a lot of gym instructors are giving us information that isn’t necessarily getting us anywhere. You really to NOT have to increase your caloric intake to gain muscle mass! You can actually build solid mass AND lose bodyfat AT THE SAME TIME! How does this work? Well, muscle mass is largely a result of how much you use the muscle. Caloric intake is what regulates the amount of your bodyfat. So train more to add muscle and eat less to lose body fat. Follow this equation for the ULTIMATE appearance you’ve been wanting for so long!

Here’s the “right” amount of calories for you to consume daily.

This will vary from person to person, but the idea is to figure out how many calories it takes for you to maintain your body weight and eat a little under that amount. One way to get a pretty good idea of this amount is to take your weight (pounds) and multiply by ten. A man weighing 200 pounds should then have a daily caloric intake of about 2,000 calories. The goal would be to track body fat percentage while eating this may calories per day for 2 weeks. It works for you if your body fat maintained the same percentage for the whole two weeks. Now, you can continue this right through into your muscle workouts.
