    First and foremost, the body is inefficient at performing both activities at the same time. The only times when both happen at peak efficiency are:

    When the person is just a beginner who is starting bodybuilding, in which case, weight training is such a new stimulus to the body that muscle gain and fat loss happen extremely efficiently.

    When coming back after a period of no weight training in which case the body is just regaining muscle tissue that has been previously built. If, God forbid, you get the flu and couldn't train for three weeks, once you come back you will experience simultaneous accelerated muscle gain and fat loss.

    No, when you come back to weight training the initial weight gain is from your body storing additional glycogen and water in your muscles to fuel the increased workload.

    /facepalm

    Otherwise bodybuildets wouldnt bother with bulk/cut cycles.

    I wonder if it is illegal to take creatine suppliments before an athletic event, like the quarter mile sprint for instance. I imagine this would give the user some advantage in such an event. Would this be considered cheating?

    It is legal in all sports IIRC. It does not enhance performance. It enhances recovery.

    you can loose weight and gain muscle

    http://stronglifts.com/5x5 can show you how.

    You will gain about .5lbs of muscle a week while loosing 1 lb of fat give or take a few oz.

    False.

    So then, the best bet is to...
    begin with weight training, and push hard until I no longer see gains.
    Then stop for three weeks, and hopefully get sick
    and then start up again to boost my gains

    This is fantastic!

    Is there anything I need to do in terms of diet?
