    Turn body fat into muscle??

    Hi Everyone, great forum. tried to find an answer to my specific question but no luck so far.

    I am 49 years old and have about 30% fat maybe less, I don't really know how to measure it. just curious to know if I should continue to take the supplements. I am taking Myogenix Hyper Shock before workout and After Shock after workout. I workout set of muscles everyday for an hour,

    Day1-Shoulders and Traps
    Day2-Back and Biceps
    Day3-Legs
    Day4-Chest and Triceps

    I was wondering, if body fat can work as a muscle gaining supplement, I’ve been lifting weights for about 4 months now, gain some muscles where it shows but have not noticed any fat loss! I still weigh the same though. When you workout and loss fat, does your muscle benefit or the fat just burns away?

    Thanks,
    Bass

    high body fat does not contribute to muscle gain.

    If I am correct body fat will not turn into muscle. It is an old wive's tale.

    You are definitely correct. Fatty acid chains do not all the sudden get an N group attached to them and turn into muscle.

    You might want to focus more on weight loss as your energy levels will go up and you will perform better in the gym. Might want to run supersets at light weight or even try circuit training for a month or two. Eat clean and light on calories but high in protein. Your muscles will perform better with fat loss especially your heart.
