Body building  techniques and fat loss go hand in hand. As a sport body building is all about developing  a symmetrical muscular body. It just follows naturally that fat loss is a major part of the training since fat blocks the clear view and breaks up the aesthetic lines of well a developed muscle build.

It's not news to most of us who study body building techniques that lean muscle mass burns fat but the rest of the world is catching on. During a study at Boston University researchers activated a gene in obese mice causing type II muscle fibers to grow. The mice immediately began to lose fat even though diet and activity were unchanged. No,.. I don't know how to activate this gene in humans but this is the same type of muscle growth that occurs when training with heavy weights.

The moral of the story: lift weights, build your muscles, train for growth and fat loss happens naturally.
