I am very overweight and have a lot of weight to lose. One thing I am concerned about, and I know this is just aesthetic, is loose skin.
I've seen pictures of bodybuilders who have lost a large amount of weight, had loose skin while they were thin, and built muscle that somehow tightened up the skin.
So my question is - should I get to that point in my fitness journey where I minimize body fat and have loose skin, and THEN build muscle?
OR...
Should I cut weight until loose skin STARTS to appear, build muscle to fill it in in, and repeat until I am lean and muscular?
I don't want to try the first approach and build muscle that does not fill in the loose skin or cause it to tighten. And I'm not sure if the second method would be effective. But the former is what I've seen works.
TL;DR
In short, I am overweight and my goal is to build a lean, muscular physique and minimize loose skin. So what method / order of burning fat and building muscle would be most effective?
Bonus question: Do you have any personal anecdotes of yourself or someone else who has lost weight, dealt with loose skin and tightened it? Please, do tell. I would not be insecure about having loose skin, but I would prefer not to.
All responses are highly appreciated and I want to say my sincere thanks in advance.
