Chubby muscular women

You might think that weighing yourself is the best way to measure that progress, but that's not always the case. Your body composition makes a huge difference in what you look like even though it can't be measured by the scale. To the scale, a pound is a pound. Muscle does not weigh more than fat — but it does take up less space on your body, which is why you might look leaner after building muscle even if your weight doesn't change. The following women have posted photos to remind others that, at the end of the day, you shouldn't rely on your weight to measure your progress toward your fitness goals. Now this is a very common question I always get asked.

There is no standardised definition of bulking and cutting. Bulking involves eating more calories than you need, in order to put on weight, then building muscle via resistance training. Cutting involves eating fewer calories than you burn and probably doing more cardio in order to lose the fat. The theory is that you put on extra muscle and fat, but then lose the fat to look lean and shredded. But does this work and is it a good idea? We ask the experts. Muscles are made of protein, so eating extra protein should lead to bigger muscles, right?

Building muscle and losing fat are the twin goals of weight training and physical conditioning, but the body resists doing both at the same time. They are contradictory physiological processes. Your body has evolved to increase both fat and muscle in times of plenty and to lose both muscle and fat in times of scarcity when food availability is low. How can you hold increased muscle while shedding loads of fat to get a nice-looking body with six-pack abs?
