Lose fat or gain muscle first?
OK, so I'm about 5'10 and 160lbs. I'm fairly thin, but I'm packing a bit of extra "insulation" round my waist. I reckon I'm probably about 14% bf. I want to put on quite a bit of muscle (like 20lbs in the long term) but I also want to get the bf % down. I know I can't do both at the same time so my question is should I lose the fat first before starting the weight gain process (seeing as how I'll probably put on even more fat while gaining muscle) or should I gain the muscle first, and then lose weight?
