Is Recomping Really Possible?
A fitness industry term that is now in the research literature as well reconposition refers to the process of simultaneously losing fat and building muscle. Most people who are pretty familiar with the evidence would say absolutely it's possible because there is a great deal of research indicating that people do it. But some folks will say if you have really any resistance training experience at all it's going to be very very very unlikely, says Chris Barracat.
