Understanding the Difference Lean Body Mass vs Muscle

Hi everyone

I'm Steve here again with the gut girl. Thanks for being with us, Nicole

Thanks for having me. All right. So we were talking off camera and

You're very educated and people at, you know, high levels of education, they're going to disagree on some things, but you were telling me

about something that just bugs you a lot that in fitness influencers say

And I think what you got to realize about most fitness influencers or a lot of them

anyway, not all of them, but a lot of them are trying to sell you something

And, um, you were talking about when they say something like lean body mass, and I'm

not going to get you lean body mass. I'm going to get you muscle mass

Tell me what you're talking about there and why does that bug you? Okay

It just drives me nuts because every time I'm on a platform and I see an influencer

say, well, I'm going to, I'm going to make you lean body mass versus muscle mass, blah, blah

blah, or the vice versa, other, other way around. There is. They may say, you're not going to put on lean mass, lean body mass

You're going to put on muscle mass. Well, and they're, and just like you said, they're trying to sell you

So in the bodybuilders camp, which I, I'm going to take them all off in the body

builders camp, which I once was, they're going to say, I'm going to get you muscle

mass, but in the runners corner or the Spartan people, they're going to go, what

you need is lean mass. There's no difference. Like you're only, when you believe that stuff, you are only believing the

gimmick of what you want to look like. Literally. And we have spoken about this

The difference in lean versus muscle is so literally it's fat versus muscle

It's, it's a skeletal muscle versus, or a smooth muscle or a, you know, water weight

When you get that technical, you are on a high level of kind of breaking the

body down and looking at things. If you're just, I'm going to use an example right from your page

If you have somebody come in, who's 30 and they're lifting like crazy and they're

just lifting like crazy and they're, they're really leaning out and they're

gaining muscle, their bone density is going to grow by a small amount

What you're doing for that is you're preparing your body to age and not have osteoporosis

That's, you got to bring this back down. Really what we're doing is we're selling skinny versus fat

Don't get caught up in lean versus muscle. If they're saying that and they're trying to differentiate between this big thing

they're just selling you a gimmick. So I have a question for you because I'm trying to figure out why would someone

say, I'm going to give you, well, correct me if I'm wrong

Are they saying I'm going to give you lean body mass, meaning I'm going to make

you lean and skinny? Yes. Okay. So they have a product that's going to make you lean and skinny potentially as a

when they say, so that's what they mean by lean body mass, which is irrelevant

You said it. I mean, the, the two things that we can adjust and modify significantly is body

fat and muscle mass. Yes. So the other side who's saying, I'm going to help you put on muscle mass

So they're saying, I'm going to help you not be skinny and be swole

Swole. Yes. Yes. So you've got two camps here that are not talking, that are talking the same talk

And it's making me nuts because really it's the same camp. You're just selling a gimmick and you're skilling skits

You're selling skinny versus kind of like a bodybuilder versus a Spartaner

They're only trying to sell you something. When you go in to, to become lean and grow muscle, you are trying to be healthy

And that comes from what you eat, how you lift, what you do in cardio, all

of those kinds of things. It doesn't mean that they can make you one type of lean versus another type of lean

That's insane. Plus, so I think everybody's different. Everybody's makeup is different

That's why I don't do cookie cutter, one size fits all. So you're telling me that you can make someone who is big boned, morbidly obese

extremely lean body mass. That, that's insane. Their body is going to be their body type

Right. They're, they're bigger bone. They're going to be, yeah, I get it

So you hear these people using these terms as I'm going to help you put on lean body mass

Well, putting, putting weight on, you always want to put on muscle

That's really the only way you can do it. But certain people who are big, they're not going to be skinny marathon runners

No. Or they're not going to at least, they're not going to at least look like a skinny

marathon runner in the lean department. I, because I was majority of my life, a marathon runner

I never looked like I was 110 pounds and you know, wet

I literally was a little beefier and that's because I could have a lot more muscle on

me and run a marathon. There's two different, like you can't do that

There's two different body that, well, there's several different body types and

you can't just, you just can't put people in a camp when you're saying really I'm

selling you skinny versus heavy. That's it. It's not that simple. There you go

So do you feel better? I do. I do feel better. All right, everybody
