Should You Lose Weight before Resistance Training?

Strength training is an excellent way to increase your lean muscle mass and the good news is that this will help you reach your fat-loss goal even faster.  Always equate an increase in muscle mass to an increase in your body's fuel-burning engine. By lifting weights you will go from a four-cylinder to a six-cylinder engine. By increasing your muscle mass, the amount of calories you burn at rest each day will rise as larger muscles need more calories to be maintained.  And since muscle is not as bulky as fat, the size of your clothing will go down and your overall shape will become more scultped while our weight may remain stable.

This is great advice. Sometimes I feel I'm gaining weight, like at this time of the year with all the holiday food stocking up in my fat depot, but I am still not motivated to do extra exercises and eat much less. I know, however, that when the winter clothes start coming off I'll be angry with myself for not taking care of myself more. A man with more fat than muscles is not too attractive. I have to imagine how I would look without exercising, and how I want to look in reality, and hopefully that will motivate me. Thanks for the tips!

I've heard many times in many places that you shouldn't live and die simply by the scale and that you should instead plot your daily weight on an average curve that smoothes out the daily fluctuations in weight.
