How To Gain Muscle and Burn Body Fat At The Same Time
By Jon Benson
What is your “big dream?”
I have two:
– To make an impact on the lives of over 10M people before I die;
– To have a family that’s mobile so I can live in many places.
Not bad, right?
Want to know a “third” dream of mine? One that I saw become a reality a few years ago?
To gain muscle AND burn bodyfat all at the same time.
It’s like a pipe-dream that somehow worked its way through the pipes and into my gym.
It is not easy, granted, but you can do it.
Almost anyone can do it.
You just have to train and eat in a very specific way.
Listen: You do NOT want to just “burn bodyfat” or god-forbid “lose-weight”… that will not give you the body you want.
You absolutely MUST shape your muscles, tighten and tone, and burn bodyfat.
And you can do it at the same time.
Most pros disagree with me. They think it is metabolically impossible to gain muscle while in a state of low-calorie dieting.
They are wrong.
Here’s an article I wrote on this topic. I hope you enjoy it.
To save you time, I put a link to the online complete version of the article below…

I remember a friendly argument with my co-author of Fit Over 40 Tom Venuto. It all started when I told Tom how I was eating and training for my last peak. A peak is where you lower your bodyfat and try to maintain as much muscle mass as possible.
“There’s just no way I could ever get in shape eating and training like that,” says Tom. “Sure you could man…what are you, a mutant?” Tom fires back, then me, then Tom….and so it goes. (I really didn’t call Tom a mutant. That was creative liberty.)
So why are so many fitness pros like Tom freaked out about my training and nutrition plan? Simple: I claim it burns fat while building muscle at the same time. Every time I read an article by some doctor or expert claiming it’s “biologically impossible” to gain lean muscle mass on a hypocaloric diet (a diet low in calories) I just laugh.
I do more than make claims–I have proved this to be true many times. I’ve had my bodyfat hydrostatically measured during several peaks. In all but one I showed an increase of muscle mass and a decrease of bodyfat during a 12-16 week period. The one time I didn’t show an increase in muscle mass when was I was training the most in the gym. That may not make sense right now, but it will in a moment.

The process of weight loss can be a long one for many. Even if the personal weight loss plan consists of a combination of supplements, there are still quite a few fat loss principles one must adhere to.
Fat Loss Is Not Permanent. As time progresses, however, many individuals begin to fall back into the old habits.
The process of losing weight can be a lengthy one. Many individuals feel that a supplement that helps jumpstart the weight loss process is the permanent solution.

Certain behaviors have to change eventually. Some of the best weight loss supplements can help a person achieve a tremendous amount of weight loss in a short period of time. One must keep in mind that certain behavioral issues contributing to the weight problems must be addressed.

Recommended Cardio Exercises For Losing Weight
Would you be interested in knowing what cardiovascular exercises will help you burn more calories when combined with aerobic activity? Whatever activity you do, cardio, weight lifting or mowing the yard, you are burning calories in order to have more energy. This leads us to conclude that cardiovascular exercise helps us to burn calories and to lose weight.
But can these exercises help us lose enough calories for weight loss to be seen?
First, we must mention that if your cardio exercise routine includes a treadmill, a stationary bike or a stepper, don’t even bother looking at the small screen that suppose to tell you how much calories you’ve burned. A device has not yet been created to show us exactly how many calories we’ve lost during our exercise routine. Loss of calories depends on age, our gender, training level and metabolism.
And when it comes to these things, every person has their own body type. A person can do cardio exercises for 30 mins and they could lose 100 calories Someone else doing the same exercise, at the same rate of speed and time would lose only 50 calories. A 30 year old woman who weighs 150 pounds with 14% body fat can burn a different amount of calories compared to and 19 year old girl who weighs 110 with 7% body fat. This will happen even if they do the same activity, at the same intensity level.
Don’t get excited when your treadmill screen shows that you’ve lost only 100 calories, because in actuality you probably only lost half of that sum. This leads us to conclude that cardiovascular exercise does not burn many calories. And besides how many calories you lost is not that important anyhow.
If you workout for 60 minutes you could lose about 200 calories. But,once you eat, say a piece of bread, that’s 400 calories, or any other food that has alot of calories, you’ve gained 200 calories of fat. All that sweat and hard work for nothing.
This is the very reason why some people workout daily, so they can lose weight and burn calories. But what they don’t know is that there’s a simple solution and that is to decrease the amount of calories they take in. If a person eat less or a person works out daily, they will have the same end results. So in our conclusion, cardio exercises will not make a huge, significant impact on losing weight with some people as well as others. Visible results could only be seen if you workout 7 hours a day. Our recommended cardio exercises are: walking, running, jumping, biking, cross-country skiing and aerobics.

What is R-Quattro technology?

But here’s a simple synopsis. R-Quattro revolves around what we’ve deemed the 4 R’s of strategic progression (thus the name):
1. Reps – the number of repetitions per exercise
2. Rest – the rest periods between exercises or rounds
3. Resistance – the weight used for each exercise
4. Rounds – the number of circuits completed per workout
When you learn how to manipulate the four variables of R-Quattro in the most strategic fashion possible from workout to workout, week to week, you’ll be well on your way to burning MASSIVE calories each and every time you step into your sneakers.
In addition to R-Quattro, we also share our Strategic Set Progression (SSP), which literally makes R-Quattro 3 times more effective.
