But, there is a good chance with the schedule he currently is following that he will lose muscle! Doing a full body workout is a very intense and caloric demanding workout. Doing this every other day may well result in muscle loss due to very little rest. If diet is at all off, this will for sure be the case. And even with proper diet, there is not enough rest time to repair the muscle damage done from the prior workout if he is hitting it really hard. In the beginning stages, you can get away with it due to the fact that your workouts are not that hard usually, and you do just one exercise per bodypart. But after this if he is in an advanced state of training, he will surely be overtraining. And to add to that, it is almost impossible if you are an advanced trainer to gain mass and lose fat at the same time. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
