I have seen it done over and over. Just changing from a bad diet to a good diet and having a good strength training program will change body composition. Now if he was trying to lose 20lbs then it might a different story.

How do I do this without loosing weight or should I say getting skinner? ============ Quoting from KA: If you can find a way to lose fat WHILE gaining muscle then yes.

	2008/03/10, 03:57 PM Think about what you just said. You want to lose fat, which is weight, and you dont want to gain any more muscle. How woud you do this while maintaining your current weight?

After that fats gone worry about size and or weight after.

However, my body at the point where I think it's almost perfect for me. I was thinking in more terms as weight rather than appearance. For the last most with this new workout plan it's been maintaining.
