Question

im 6'0 and weight 170 i plan on lifting soon should i lose some weight before. keep in mind im not unhealthy just a little chunky. will lifting help me lose weight and gain muscle or is it not worth it!

Answer 1

When you lift, since you gain muscle, you will likely gain weight from losing fat and having it replaced with muscle. This is not a bad thing though since muscle weighs more than fat. However, you seem to be at a healthy weight for your height. 

Answer 2

When I started lifting I slimmed down but gained weight in muscle. You will probably be fine.
