Hey folks just wondering is it possible to lose body fat, maintain weight and build muscle all at the same time. The last time I cut I lost a load of BF but I'd say I lost a lot of muscle aswell. I'm in a good mind set atm and have the world of time on my hands for the nxt 8 weeks and would love to get ripped while holding on to as much mass as I can if not build on it. E.g I'm now about 14% BF at 160lb, would love to get to 12% and stay at 160lb. Can anyone advise me?

Not possible unless you're:
A. Completely new to weight training
B. Recovering from an injury or long lay off from training
C. On cell-tech
Looking at your pics, you're already decently lean, so I'd say clean bulk 10%-20% over maintenance calories. If you get ripped now you risk looking like an ethopian (ie worse than you do now). Save getting ripped for when you have some more mass.*CEO crew*

Stop looking for this all in one solution. Build up another 20 pounds of muscle. At that time trying to get to a lower body fat might be more productive.
The most important aspect of weight training; whether for the athlete, bodybuilder, or average person is to better ones health and ability without injury. - Bill Pearl

Extremely unlikely in your case. Cutting while maintaining muscle is possible, although weight will still decrease.Originally Posted by IrishJack89
