Summary
Andy and I are talking about training the “skinny-fat” or “dad bod” type of client. In our line of work, this is usually someone in their 20s to 30s, has probably been active before but isn’t slinging weights or doing cardio regularly, and wants to get in shape. What do we do next? Do we diet down and try to get lean first? Or do we attack the body with as much weight training as possible to add some lean mass, maybe “recomp” a little, then diet down later? The answer is always “it depends,” but Zack and I attack the issue from two ends of the spectrum.
