What is lean muscle mass?
The term "lean muscle mass" is used so common, but when it comes down to it I'm not really sure if I know what it means. Please explain what this is and how it can be achieved?

I kind of hate the term... because muscle is muscle and fat is fat... i would never say "Aww **** I gained high fat muscle"

It does sort of make sense though. If you say lean muscle mass then you mean not only did I get muscle, but I didn't get fat.

Google was my first resort. Lets not assume everything online is reliable. I'd rather trust the opinion and knowledge on this forum, rahter than conflicting information received from multiple website.Originally Posted by x2thez53913

I see. For some reason I thought it was referring to a differing muscle density, which in my mind doesnt make real sense.Originally Posted by schulerdoish

It's a stupid term which basically means muscle. Lean is fat-free; so it goes without saying that your muscle mass will be your lean muscle mass.
However lean mass is different from muscle mass; latter is just muscle whilst former is everything apart from fat.

Muscle isn't the only type of lean body mass in your body, though when most talk about LBM, they're usually referring to muscle.
Other types of LBM in your body are bones, water, organs, and even blood because it has mass.
