What if I told you that both options are not needed and there is a middle-ground! You do not have to lose or gain weight to make great fitness progress in the beginning. You see, when you first start training, you benefit from something known as “noobie gains”. Consistently, we see in the literature that beginner trainees can build muscle and lose fat at the same time. In one study on untrained police officers, the participants lost 9.3 pounds of fat and gained 8.8 pounds of Lean Body Mass in 8 weeks. See study here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10838463/ Basically, the participants didn’t cut or bulk. Their weight stayed mostly the same. But as you can imagine, if you lose 9 pounds of fat and gain 8.8 pounds of Lean Body Mass, your physique looks quite different. In today's video, I will explain how you can go about an effective Body Recomposition phase to also make full use of your "newbie gains".
