How to turn fat into muscle.

This is something that has been on my mind for awhile. Is there a way to turn fat into muscle? I know it sounds out there but can you? Lets take the fact that you need to burn fat to see the muscle underneath it out of the equation. That's the mindset that most bodybuilders have, they get chunky during the winter and diet hard around the time of the contest or summer and hope that they will lose the fat and keep the muscle.

How to turn fat into muscle? Think about someone who is about 20 pounds overweight but has muscular but not defined arms. Sure they are overeating and that, along with poor hormonal signaling, is causing them to store more bodyfat and build less muscle. Is it as simple as dropping the calories and upping the cardio? Can that turn fat into muscle?

If you already have muscular arms or legs and start to eat better is that fat going to be turned into muscle? If you fixed your lifestyle, ate more fruits and vegetables and upped your protein you'd improve your anabolic hormones that both build muscle and burn fat.

The potential is there. If you work out and are a few pounds over weight you're not going to lose all the fat that you have and all of a sudden have muscle everywhere. You will however look more muscular.

So in that sense you can turn fat into muscle but how?

1)Do more interval cardio 3-4 times per week for 20-30 minutes.

2)Increase your training volume and focus on moving the heaviest weight you can.

3)Keep your calories high but drop your carbs.

4)Take it slow. If you just try to lose all the fat you'll end up skinny. Skinny isn't sexy. You have a solid base now you have to have the mindset of a sculptor.
