Can bulking up lower your body fat percentage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Body fat percentage: Not necessarily. You may be able to the %body fat number by building a bunch of muscle, but this doesn't mean you are getting rid of fat. You will just weigh more because of the muscle. It is best to do a balance of weight lifting and cardio to burn off the fat.
