ya bro because i've read Scooby website. He said that Bulk up and Cut down is just a stupid myth. I've been struggling building muscle and cut fat at the same time because i didn't have the patience. In the end, my diet schedule is lousy. hahaha.

Maybe what scooby said is right, we must not diet, but change our lifestyle in eating. I've doing good in building muscle and lose fat now. Just need REALLY LONG patience.

i want to lose fat. haha

nah, lose fat and bodybuilding is intercept. The more muscle you have the more you burn calories isn't it ?
I am eating the right food. But im not saying that i am on a diet because i've change my lifestyle. my trainer said if i want to get serious in bodybuilding, Bulk up and Cut down is necessary. But for me, i want to try something else, which people think it might be NEARLY impossible. which is building up muscle and cut down fat at the same time. By the time i'm building muscle, of course i will cut fat.
btw bro, here is some words written in the Body by Science i am reading now


But here they are using another technique in building muscle, The Big Five muscle groups and TULs(Time Under Load) and just needing 12 minutes of TUL per week. But i think it's the same.

(WARNING : long read, dont TL;DR)

here :

"We conducted a fat-loss study at Nautilus North in which we put thirty-six people through a ten-week program combined diet and high-intensity training. The program required that they reduce their calorie intake by 100 calories every two weeks. starting at a below-maintenance level. Our subjects were clients aged twenty to sixty five who had been training with us for more than a year. We tested their body composition every two weeks in a Bod Pod machine. The subjects started off with a six-set workout and trained only once a week. After two weeks, we cut their exercises back from six to four and tested them to see how they progressed. For the first 4 weeks of the study, both times when we put them in the Bod Pod, we found that they lose fat--but they also lost muscle. So, we cut the subjects back to three exercises, and we noted that they didn't lose any more muscle but they did lose fat.

To test a hypothesis during weeks eight through ten, we cut the group in half, with eighteen remaining only exercises once a week. When we reviewed the data the end of the study, we were surprised to see that the group that reduce the volume of their workouts to two sets once a week gained twice the muscle and lost twice the fat."

so what they're trying to show here is, building muscle and lose fat at the same time is not impossible with the right calorie intake and execises.
