Anyone about 5’7, 5’6 looking to get to 160 to 155 pounds add me. I’m trying to lose 30 to 35 pounds

Whether or not you will gain any muscle would be dependent on lifting history, genetics, age and other factors. Either way, the best thing you can donis follow a good progressive overload lifting program that is focused on compound movements, have a moderate deficit and adequate protein.

I imagine it would be the exactly same principles as if you were 5’11”.

Lose fat and maintain muscle:
Eat in a deficit.
Lift progressively

Build muscle:
Eat in a surplus
Lift progressively
