In the face of this situation
If you are fat, the coach is fooling you.
If you are not fat, the coach is right.
Going to the gym for training, whether to gain muscle or lose fat first, you need to refer to your physical condition and data.
The following is divided into two aspects.
You are a fat man, and your main appeal is to lose weight.
If you are fat, that is, when you look in the mirror, you can clearly see a bulging belly and a waist like a bucket, and then in your circle of friends, you are recognized as a "fat" or "slightly fat" person.
Then when you go to the gym, you must lose weight first. If the coach tells you to gain muscle first and then lose fat, it's just a bluff.
The reason given by the coach may be that you can burn more calories after gaining muscle, so you can burn more fat without exercise.
Japan has had research results many years ago, and the metabolic rate of adults does not change by more than 5%. In other words, you trained yourself to be Schwarzenegger, and your metabolic rate only increased by 5%.
But do you know how hard it takes to become Schwarzenegger? This in itself is basically impossible.
Tell you a way to refute the coach's statement:
If the purpose of muscle gain is to improve the metabolic rate, and then to lose weight better, then as far as I know, the metabolic rate can be improved more after weight gain, so should I eat myself fat first? This method is simpler and faster than muscle training.
Weight is a very important data in the calculation formula of metabolic rate. The higher the weight, the higher the metabolic rate.
The following is the formula for calculating Mao Deqian's metabolic rate:
Male: (48.5* weight kg+2954.7)/4. 184.
Female: (4 1.9* weight kg+2869. 1)/4. 184.
So if you are fat, when the coach tells you this, there is only one possibility: he wants to sell you a lesson.
You are not fat, you want to gain muscle and lose weight.
In that case, my suggestion is to gain muscle first and then lose weight.
Because in the process of muscle building, muscle building needs not only a lot of protein, but also extra calories, because without extra energy, you can't lift heavier dumbbells or do more squats in the gym.
Muscle gain requires more energy intake, which is necessary.
Then when you consume energy, you can't consume as much as you use it. In most cases, you will definitely eat more than you consume, and it is best to do so, so that your muscles can grow fully.
Then the problem is, if you lose weight first and then gain muscle, you will lose weight easily, but you need to consume more energy in the muscle gain stage and then grow excess fat. Then why did you lose weight before?
So the reasonable arrangement is this: gain muscle first and then lose weight. You don't control your diet when you gain muscle, so you gain muscle quickly. Don't worry about gaining muscle when you lose weight. After losing weight successfully, you will show a beautiful figure after gaining muscle.
Kill two birds with one stone, how nice.
In addition, you must be careful when choosing a personal trainer. It's normal for them to sell classes, but it's unethical to pursue personal interests without considering your actual needs.
