Okay, I want all

the know-it-alls to clear this one up...or just debate it. On one of the recent threads I started about wieghts,

someone(I won\'t say who) mentioned how funny it is when these big muscle-bound guys one day have all their muscle

turn to fat. I\'ve heard this line(myth?) my whole life, and am still hearing it. However, whenever I read

something credible, such as an article last week by some muscle magazine editor, he brings up this issue and firmly

states that it is utter garbage that only morons should/could believe. What I have read is that it is an absolute

impossibility for muscle to \"turn into\" fat. If anyone goes from musclular to fat, it is because they stop using

their muscles, which then get eaten up for energy, since the body doesn\'t need them anymore, then the guy

continues to do nothing...overeat....etc.....and then he lays down fat.....and more fat......

The key point here

is that the fat is laid down as fat, NOT \"converted\" from muscles as so many people like to say and

believe.

So, what\'s the truth here?
