You mean how do you do it? It depends on the person. What are you stats and body fat?

Okay, I have the same question so I will post here and you can tell me how dumb I am for trying to build muscle when I have so much fat to loose. My routine is pretty basic, but I do not think I am advanced enough to have to mix it up too much since I am still getting a really good burn.

Currently:
Cardio 3x per week 30 minutes (bike or orbital jogger)
Lifting 2x per week for 1 - 1.5hr

Routine - Upper body:
Bench 4 sets 10, 8 , 6, to fail with increasing weight
Incline Bench (same)
Wide Bench (same)
Dumbbell Press 4 sets of 8, mixed with dumbbell curl during rest
Triceps pulldown 4 sets 10, 8 , 6, to fail with increasing weight
Bent over dumbbell row (whatever I have left)

Routine - Lower body:
Squat 4 sets 10, 8 , 6, to fail with increasing weight
Leg Press (same)
Dumbbell Lunges (4x 8 with stable weight)
Leg lifts 4 sets 10, 8, 6, to fail with increasing weight
Leg curls (same)
Calf raises 4 sets of 12

Diet:
Breakfast - Prot. Shake (using 2 scoops, 300 cal)

Woah. You are trying to gain muscle on that diet? What are your cals like 2000?

You need protein for both snacks, and you need a carb for breakfast, as well as the shake.

That is a really shitty diet


you need 6 meals a day..with a calorie breakdown something like this 400 cal per meal.....40 prot...30 carb...14 fat....
every meal.
