I think it might hafve to do with eating more. In fact, it doesn't really matter if you pack some fat does it? Isn't that the way body builders gain muscle? They first "bulk up" and then cut down?
I urge caution, there are lots of fat 3rd rate gym junkies, not wanting to lose their "size". You must eat enough to max muscle gain, this might require some fat gain. However this should be a fairly small amount and not an excuse to be a pig ; as it sometimes is. The evidence is you must eat enough to support muscle gain, excess amounts of food will go to fat.
What happens when you want to cut all the fat off? You end up back where you started -if you are lucky. I am very surprised you do not remember the results. If you are gain several times more muscle than fat, you are on a winner, eg 8 lb muscle to 2 lb fat. However if it is 8 lb fat to 2lb muscle you might look bigger in a shirt and be a little stronger but you are on a downward path unless you want to be a sumo. Note in both cases you gained 10 lb. Remember some methods of checking fat are not worth a damn anyway and you should not expect pinpoint accuracy from any of them. Use as a guide only to correct food intake.
Good luck Peg
