Your muscles may look bigger because they are layered with fat and your legs may be bigger because you have more weight to carry!!

Once when I signed up at a gym several years ago, the instructor told me that before you build muscle you must get rid of the fat first. He said if you don't then the muscle would build on top of the fat and that that was not a good thing to do.....
I really don't have an answer for you.

No, it's harder because fats are harder to get rid off. I f you think that fat gives you more muscles than why do fat people have a hard time losing weight and get themselves to the gym. Also why do muscle builders need steroids to build muscles instead just gain weight...

No, fat and muscle are two completely different things. You can have muscle and fat at the same time but your muscles won't look defined because they're hidden by fat.
Muscle can't turn to fat, and fat can't turn to muscle.

no, fat and muscle are two different things. The more fat you have the more you way the harder it is to work out, the more you have covering your muscle.

No, that's carefully preposterous. the reason obese human beings generally income muscle swifter is using the fact they're needless to say endomorphic, meaning that they positioned on something quickly, no count number if muscle or fat. in case you opt to income muscle, its somewhat no longer that perplexing, distinctly at your age, whilst your already turning out to be needless to say. basically consume lots, (proteins, healthful carbs, shrink sugar) and artwork out. you will see helpful factors because of the fact your testosterone will quickly be at its top too, which will help jumpstart the muscle construction technique.

This is not true at all,to even begin to see muscle you first need to get rid of fat.the only 6 pack an obese person is going to have is the one they just bought at taco bell..dont believe everything you hear.

thats why the doc tells you to lose weight first instead of excersizing cause the fat will turn to muscle and you want to lose the weight first

no it isn't true....eat plenty of protein and do weight training if you want more muscle....the fat will hide the muscle underneath

never thought about it, but it sure sounds like it could be right. Skinny guys with no muscles seem to stay that way.
