Gaining Muscle and Losing Fat at the Same Time: Fact or Fiction?

While many people are self-conscious about excess body fat, fearing they are part of the population diagnosed as “obese,” many are also self-conscious about a lack of muscle mass. And this doesn’t just affect men. Women are also increasingly feeling the urge to develop their muscles. But between the desire and the facts, many find themselves helpless in this process of building muscle. Because it is a long process, it is better to go about it the right way. And there is no secret: it is better to rely on a coach. 

Starting a physical transformation: the coach, the key to success

To adopt good food hygiene

Losing fat requires a calorie deficit. Indeed, the more calories the body absorbs, the more stored fat will be used to provide sufficient energy for its functioning. At the same time, to develop muscle mass, you must consume more calories than the body needs. In short, this requires consuming a surplus of calories. Given this, it is then easy to understand that losing fat and building muscle require a balance between energy intake. And this balance depends on each person. Whether you are a woman, a man, whether you want to gain 300 grams of muscle per week or simply want to reshape your figure, managing energy intake is not the same. This is the main reason why the help of a coach is essential. And for good reason, it is able, depending on the physiology, but also the objectives of each person, to propose a nutritional program capable of building muscle and promoting fat loss at the same time. The ally for changing body composition, good advice for adopting a healthy lifestyle, and taking appropriate dietary measures. 

To benefit from tailor-made training

Then, most people tend to do absurd things at the risk of injuring themselves by wanting to gain mass immediately. But here it is, the quest for better body composition is done in stages. It would not occur to a high school graduate to present himself to a “Concours Sup” without having prepared in advance. Well, for gaining mass, it is the same. Someone who has never trained in their life must have a particular approach. And here again, the sports coach takes into account the lifestyle, the basic sporting level, the state of health, and the objective to propose a tailor-made and progressive training. A program that is adapted to the morphology. It is also a guide in the sense that it explains how the exercise must be carried out, which muscles are working and why, but also corrects a bad posture, the errors that risk ruining the efforts. Thanks to the coach, the training series is done at the right pace, with the right warm-up and recovery, and by adopting the right postures.

To have motivating support

Beyond even sports coaching for gaining mass, the coach adopts a “positive attitude”. Because the effort required often seems insurmountable, the beginnings are always difficult, and there comes a time when there is less room for improvement, the coach is caring. He celebrates successes, whether small or large, and transmits his enthusiasm and motivation. The sports coach is therefore a physical trainer, but also a mental trainer.
