well if you are 13 percent, thats pretty lean. if you want to build muscle, you have to eat more food. you need a caloric surplus. its very very hard to build muscle while losing fat. read around the forums.

I just took the time and read the article "Testosterone Nation - Total-Body Training". That has to be the most informative article I have every read. Since I want to make my abs more visible, I will focus on getting down to 10 percent body fat and then slowly go for muscle gain. Thanks Proteinboy!
Thanks for the article. It was one of the best I've ever read as well.
As for your second question black: Losing fat and gaining muscle is possible but it's very hard because when one is cutting (fat loss), the muscle builders (protein, carbs, calories) aren't as available to the muscles as they normally would be when one is bulking. It's far more realistic to bulk, cut, & repeat than to try to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. Again, it's hard but it can happen. It's just that it's not as conventional as the bulk, cut, . . .approach.

yeah, thats a good article, it tells you what to do, however, it doesnt really say much about why that method is effective, but thats not what the article is suppose to do, because his got so many other articles covering that.
Waterbury has tons of full body workouts on that site, aswell as many cool methods of gaining strenght, like the 10x3 (10 sets, 3 reps), ive seen some GOOD gains with that, his become on of my favourite authors.
just make sure when you bulk that you dont do it the "traditional" way, with eating tons of food and gaining like 2lbs a week, because that will be mostly fat, do it slowly and controlled.
