Body Building Tips, How To Know If I Need To Gain Muscle Or Lose Fat

By Ricardo d Argence

Gain muscle or lose fat? Maybe you have never thought how important is to know when to stop losing fat. Or how does it affect in your way to get ripped. Keep reading and you will discover the best way to achieve success.

Ok, you'll never get ripped if you have some extra pounds, but if you don't have enough you just will look starving. It's necessary to have those extra pounds in order to gain some muscle later. What some guys doesn't realize is that there is a time to lose fat, and a time to gain muscle.

Its necessary to succeed to know what is your main goal, what you really need. If you need to lose fat or to gain muscle. Through my experience in working with athletes and dozens of men in the gym trying to lose fat and gain muscle, I've come up with a height-weight chart that determines whether or not you should lose weight. It's something like this: 5'6" - 140 pounds. 5'7" - 145 pounds. 5'8" - 150 pounds. 5'9" - 155 pounds. 5'10 - 160 pounds. Let me explain how to use this chart.

So, this is how it works. If you are 5'7" - 145 pounds, there's no need for you to lose weight. If you do that, what you will get is a skinny, anorexic look. And I'm sure you don't want to look like that, so, what you have to do is to begin your gaining muscle program. For every inch taller, add 5 pounds. For every inch shorter, substract 5 pounds.

Well, you should now by now if what you need is to lose some fat, or to gain muscle. And that's a good thing because now you know what you must do to achieve that look you want. Keep in mind that this chart is not designed for that people who want to look "huge". If that's what you are looking for, you are in the wrong article. What I mean is that this chart is for regular people who wants to have great, defined muscles, big, but not precisely huge.

To use Turbulence Training to gain muscle and lose fat, simply stick to the weight training workouts only. Avoid the hard interval cardio for at least 4 weeks as you gain muscle, and eat extra calories right after your workout (as well as having a bigger breakfast than normal). These two changes will allow you to gain muscle and lose fat.
