how fat/skinny I should be to gain muscle
Hi all.
I have a quick question. What should be the body fat percentage to provide the most anabolic complexion???  I mean how fat/skinny I should be to gain muscle the fastest way. I have noticed when I'm skinny gain muscle easier than when I'm kind of stocky, but when I'm stocky I'm stronger.

it doesn't matter... muscle is muscle if you're fat or skinny... you may just THINK you're gaining more muscle beause you can SEE it better without all the fat that covers it up.

when you're "skinny" you're probably taking in fewer calories overall (i.e. caloric deficit), which is why you: 1. think you "gain" more muscle and 2. you feel weak (or weaker).
When you're "stocky" you're probably at least meeting your energy expenditure requirements or surpassing them (i.e. caloric surplus), which is why you "feel stronger".

COST OF ACTIVITY LEVEL (below) = _950_ METABOLIC RATE STEP 3: BASIC CALORIE NEEDS_2112_ + _950_ METABOLIC RATE = _3062_ MAINTENANCE TOTAL STEP 4: MAINTENANCE TOTAL _3062_ + 500 = _3562_ TO GAIN MUSCLE STEP 5: MAINTENANCE TOTAL _3062_ - 500 = _2562_ TO LOSE FAT or STEP 5: MAINTENANCE TOTAL _3062_ - 1000 = _2062_ Aggressive FAT Lose 1-2lbs a week A C T I V I T Y L E V E L A G E AGE <30 ; 30-40; >40; SEDENTARY (couch potato) 30% 25% 20% MODERATELY ACTIVE 40% 35% 30% DEDICATED EXERCISER OR ATHLETE 50% 45% 40%
