Well you wouldn’t want to do it quite that way. You aren’t likely building 28 pounds of muscle in a realistic time frame Natty. BF percentage on a recomp isn’t one for one. By adding muscle period you change the percentage and lower your BF percentage by adding muscled. The target is to minimize the added body fat while adding muscle using a pretty moderate caloric surplus. Very doable but you have to very dialed in and towards a lower BF% (15ish and below in men) for it to make sense to attempt. Scale weight would change up but who cares at that point. Of course there would be fat burning happening during this as well.

This is actually wrong, mathematically speaking. On a normal body recomp, yes, you are correct. We also agree this is not really feasible natty.

But dude said he wanted to cut fat and weigh the same, that means a one to one swap. (Also notice I said lean mass vs body fat, not pure muscle tissue.)

I see what you mean but that doesn’t seem possible. Do you mean down X amount of BF then up in lean mass to that same amount in basically two separate cycles?

No, and that was my point. Normally, if you just wanted to cut you'd lose fat, maybe a bit of muscle, and your weight goes down. If you bulk your weight goes up, you gain some muscle, and a minimal to moderate amount of fat, depending on how much over maintenance you went.

But dude said he wanted to lose fat and stay the same weight. I was just pointing how arduous and long that process would be, assuming he could even pull it off, and without steroids.
