abstract
In the sport of bodybuilding, every athlete is concerned with the manipulation of two tissues: muscle and fat. Training regimens are designed in a broad sense to gain or lose weight. Specifically there are two cycles that are employed: bulking; the addition of both lean and fatty tissue achieved through training and a caloric surplus, and cutting; the loss of excess fat and preservation of lean tissue achieved through training and a caloric deficit. With the exception of beginning athletes, it is thought to be difficult, if not nearly impossible, to gain lean tissue and lose fat at the same time. The paradox is found in the diet required for each goal: to gain weight (in this case a blend of muscle and fat) one must consume more calories than one expends; to lose weight (mostly fat and muscle to a smaller degree) caloric expenditure must exceed intake. This research will present the results of a self-administered study designed to explore the possibility of gaining lean tissue while losing body fat; in addition, a review of pertinent literature on the subject will be discussed. note
