That's not entirely true. If you want to build muscle whilst losing fat, you simply have to do a lot of cardio. It's no fun, but it does do the trick.

like i said in my post, they contradict each other, in terms of maximising results, if you do lots of cardio, you will use a lot of the calories which you need to build muscle, whilst i agree it can be done, it's not the efficient way to do it, and the amount of muscle gained will not be large and it's very hard, the few people that can can gain significant muscle mass usually have good genetics, most people who train to build muscle whilst lose fat will end up simply gaining some muscle, or losing some fat but gaining little muscle

on a serious note, i've started working out semi-regularly, unfortunately my school schedule makes it difficult to be consistent. i'm 182.5 cm, at 78 Kg. in other words i'm not fat, but not exactly ripped. i'm a musician, so I have to be very careful about tension and avoiding injury. I've been focusing more on upper body, as my lower body is decent from playing football. already noticed improvements in my arms and shoulders, also trying to make sure my back muscles are strong, as posture is very important. any tips? seems like a lot of you really know what you're talking about. i'm thinking about getting more intense, maybe eventually being able to kick the shit out of trees.
also, while I try and eat "healthy" foods, i have a major weakness for desserts. yeah, i know, what a pussy, but whatever. i'm not giving up my doppio espressi and madeleines!

What do yer experts say about this beginner program:
http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-beginner-strength-training-program/
I've been doing it for the last 2,3 weeks and I think it's a pretty good overall workout. Much more effective than what I was doing for the last half a year; endless biceps curls, bench presses and push-ups.

Oh and push ups are great for that in particular... i recommend doing them on your fists.
You can probably start pushing yourself with weights (eg this 5x5 thing) now if you're confident in your form.
Well I've been working out for a while, though I've only done a few excercises and only done it recreationally. Bench press, push-ups, biceps curls, etc. My chest and shoulders got stronger and bigger but my legs and rest of body got neglected. So this programme seems good to improve my total body as I feel just by squatting, my whole body is working. Deadlifts are also good, overhead press as well. It seems like a really good overall workout, so I'm gonna give it a few months. And all that I can do at home because I got a bench and barbell plus a home made pull-up/chin-up bar.
Oh and one of the most difficult excercises has got to be Prone Bridges. It looks so easy but it's hard as hell.
What's the advantage of push-ups on your fists?

as for the knuckle pressups, u get a better stretch and can go down further, and they stregnthen your wrists and knuckles, but if you over do it you will end up with arthiritis
Yeah I think you've already told me that once. I've asked about knuckle/wrist pain after punching the bag and you suggested I do knuckle push-ups. I think I'll alternate regular ones with knuckle ones every workout. Cheers, Rehan. int:

il re son. Question about protein powders. Do you think its important to change your protein powders every 5 months or so? I've been using Horley's Ripped but i'm starting to think i should buy a higher carb powder. What I'm worried about is that i'll get to used to the powder (just like any exercise routine) and I won't react as well to it which I already think I'm not because it looks like I've hit a plateau to a degree. I'm changing up my routine but a friend, in passing, noted changing up what you're eating.
