Lose all the weight and then build muscle?
My friend just did not workout, ate less, lost 40lbs, started weight lifting and now looks super fit.

Does it really matter?
Hi! I want to lose 20 lbs and I know it’s: Calorie Deficit + High Protein + Weight training. However, in a week, should a majority of my workouts be only strength training?
