You'd probably need to eat healthy and not undergo too much of a calorie deficit to keep your muscles growing. As for the 6 pack, we all have a 6 pack, just got to get rid of the fat so y'can see it! So in short: more muscle = more fat burning potential. be sure to use heavy weights and actually challenge your muscles and give them a chance to rest. edit: For more effective fat loss from your entire body you should target the larger muscle groups (legs, chest, back) and do more complex exercises like squats and push-ups. Squats (with weights) are fantastic<br><b>References : </b><br> Well the general rule is muscle cells burn far more calories than fat cells even at rest, sure you probably know that.
