I have heard that for every 10 pounds you gain, you accumulate one inch on your body parts. That would be like saying if you go from 150-160 and have 15 inch arms, you will go up to 16. But is this really true? If so how much of it?
Say you gain ten pounds of mostly fat and little muscle. Would you still gain the inch, but it would be a fatty inch? What if you are cut up at around 170 pounds with a good diet, and let yourself go over a few weeks and gain fifteen pounds. What happens to your body? Would you loose the muscle and turn it into fat, or would you accumulate fat over that muscle?
Now, say he wants to bounce back and bulk then cut. First he would have to burn that fat he got over the last weeks. But while he is doing that could he also workout his muscles like a serious body builder, while he is losing that weight and still see results? Say hes doing X amount of cardio to burn that fat, then he goes and works out hard, like a body builder would. How would this workout for him and what results would he see after the fat is gone?
What if he wanted to stay at the weight he was at, but wanted to loose the fat he has? Would he have to go into a bulking or cutting diet when he is done? But, what about the fat he has now. Say he is up from 160 to 175. Now he decides he wants to stay at 175, but loose his fat. How would he balance out his workouts, to loose fat but remain at the same 175?
I am asking these questions because I am really curious about diet and how it effects working out, and I have no smarts in the diet world. Thanks for your help.
