It matters.  Muscle is the place in the body where fat is burned.  More muscle means faster fat burning.
 
Build muscle first.  You will start to lose fat and get leaner.
 
I actually lost fat faster than I gained muscle in the beginning.

awesome. thanks man. I'm hoping this sh!t works for me. I'm just worried that I'm gonna swell up and look like an umpa lumpa. I got kind of a beer gut right now...and creatine helped me stop drinking beer(except on saturday). I guess we'll just wait and see. Hey also, as it is I'm working out 6 days a week. mon, wed, fri I'm doing arms and chest
tues, thurs, sun - I'm doing back, shoulders, legs. 6 days a week cardio and 5-6 abs....too much? I was talking to some other people and they said they lift 6 days a week but only hit the same body part once a week. That just doesn't seem right to me. you got any input? Thanks for your help

Depends on the volume per muscle group and total time per day.
 

I was talking to some other people and they said they lift 6 days a week but only hit the same body part once a week. That just doesn't seem right to me.

Yes, thats a whole mindset but not necessary...the thing is if these people are going to overload the muscle past the point of diminished returns then they need to let the recovery happen over a longer period.
 
Some of the most important things are progression (periodization) and proper diet. 
 
Creatine is good.  good the 5-6 meals a day in.  They will be smaller.  Make Better food choices.  Save the beer for a cheat day 1-time a week.  try to do better than last week every week.  Don't worry about perfection.  Try to understand what perfection looks like then see what you can do to inch closer to it!
 

I'm hoping this sh!t works for me.

The right training and diet works for everyone!  (Except for people with certain health issues)
you should see noticeable changes-progress every 3 weeks.  If you don't then check in and work to find out why you don't see progress!
 
Start a new tread in the training section or journal section with your whole routine with all the specifics...plus all cardio, supplements, and your diet meal by meal...PM me and i will check it for you!
 
First - go read those threads and make a plan!

but you can imagine people doing those mammoth muscle busting workouts who are not on performance enhancers would need the whole week to recover the muscle.
 
Its not the most optimal way to train.
 

  how do i start a thread?
