Do weights make you lose fat or gain muscle?

ahem…doing the weights burns calories…it also gains muscle…which in turn burns calories…so…simple answer…is to get your but off your comp and get bench pressin…or go the sissy way and do cardio (which is aloada bull tbh.

You are so right, Sooitca, it does indeed do both.

However the fat will be removed faster than the muscle can be built up so together with a sensible diet you should see the scales dip !

well… doing weights burns calories, but builds muscle. so you can lose weight, or gain weight. if you stick to low weights and high reps, you’ll most likely lose weight, but if you work on adding more weight, then you’ll inevitably gain weight because muscle is heavier than fat, but more compact so you won’t look as big

can you not read? this has all already been established by phalkonus.

nice one, genius.

both really. you do burn the fat and you build muscle. it’s not a great way to ‘loose weight’ only becuase muscle weighs more than fat, but the whole point is to get fitter and toned, isn’t it? so it has to be better, doesn’t it?
