Strength Training Builds Muscle Not Fat

It’s common knowledge that strength training builds muscle. But many people believe that strength training builds the kind of muscle that they are NOT looking for. One of the most common things I hear are:

“I don’t want to get bulky, I want to build lean muscle.”
Guess what? There’s no difference between “bulky” muscle and “lean” muscle. If you have seen someone who has put on fat while building muscle, then chances are they have gained fat because of their diet rather than the training.

Focus on eating clean and train hard with heavier weights - you’ll see more muscle tone and less fat.
