If you're trying to lose fat and build muscle at the same time, then you're not going to be able to do that unless you get these 5 things right. Number 1, eat the right foods pre and post workout. Before your workout, you want to have carbs. After your workout, you want to have carbs and protein. Number 2, you got to make sure you're having the right rest time in between your sets. You should not be resting for 30 seconds and instead rest for 2 minutes. Number 3, you got to follow the right workout split. You don't want to do a chest day, a back day, an arm day. Follow a lower body, upper body split instead. Number 4, you got to eat the right amount of protein during your day. Don't just have 1 or 2 big meals in protein. Instead, try to have 3 to 5 meals or snacks that are high in protein. And number 5, you got to make sure you're eating the right amount of calories. Don't want to go too low in calories because you won't build muscle. Create a 250 to 500 calorie deficit instead.
