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.Yes, but the process would take much longer. You'd essentially be doing a body recomposition: trying to build/maintain current levels of muscle mass while whittling down body fat.
If you wanted to drop to 12% b.f. while staying the same weight you are now, it'd require you to build 28 pounds of additional lean mass (muscle, connective tissue, water, etc.) while losing 28 pounds of fat at the same time. This would not necessarily be impossible but would take a lot of time and effort, especially if you're trying to do it natty.
