A member asked:
What happens if you gain muscle and do weights without losing fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Size & strength.: In that scenario, you'd tend to make gains in size and strength, but no definition. Health-wise, cardiovascular exercise, which is effective for fat loss, is better than strict weight training.
