if you gain only muscle. eg. 130lbs with 25% bf then build to 150lbs without adding fat would this still make you 25%bf or will it be less?

i apologise in advance if this is a ridiculous question :)

It is almost impossible to gain 20# of PURE muscle..there will be some fat there, but then you can lose that and you'd have less FAT than when you weighed 130

Theoretically 130# at 25% bf would give you 32.5# fat. If you could gain only muscle (doubtful) you would still have 32.5 lbs of fat, but that would only make up 21.6% of your total weight if you weighed 150#.

Like Twinnett said, though- you can gain fat and muscle, then cut down.
