i’ve done it unintentionally. meaning it wasn’t my goal to gain muscle but it happened anyway over a long period of time while never being a surplus. the shirts that i used to wear no longer fit me even though i’m significantly lower body fat
Ok gay, thanks for the sterling contribution to the thread.
I've always been concerned about this. Someone told me if I'm eating less in a calorie deficit, I am consuming less mass than it takes to maintain my current volume of mass. So how can I build muscle while losing mass?
Yes am moronic and would love a good answer
>I am consuming less mass than it takes to maintain my current volume of mass
Hint: your current volume of mass and the amount of that mass that is muscle are not one and the same thing.
so does that mean I can still lose fat mass, gain muscle mass, and still lose weight?
obviously only up until a certain point I presume, then the muscle will outweigh the fat

You can lose fat while still getting stronger but that's because most strength gains are neurological rather than from pure hypertrophy. This is why beginner gains are a thing. After a certain point your nervous system finally recruits as many muscle fibers as it can and then you start gaining mass to keep up with the effort demands. Once you reach this point it's a lot harder to make gains while at the deficit required for significant fat loss but it takes a long time and a lot of sessions to really get there.
It worked for me to go from 200 ->150lb bodyweight and go from the bar to 1/2/3/4 lifts. Around this point it's become very difficult to progress my lifts while maintaining bodyweight. I know I still have some fat but it won't convert and my muscles are not getting 'denser' after a few months. I don't want to get fat/lose my running times but I am close to giving up and just bulking to 160. I guess threre is a reason everyone does the bulk/cut cycle after all
The body performs tasks in parallel most times. The progress for both may be slower and after years of telephone the idea that you shouldnt to avoid getting inpatient was instead simplified to you cant. Just a guess.
What science?
with tren anything is possible
Based.

You literally can though.
>reduce total caloric intake
>keep protein intake high (or increase it)
>lift heavy
Anon that's what he said
No it's not.
He said he doesn't believe you can't.
I told him he's right, and then also told him how.
If you mean it, that's not how you use though.

This is a good thing to watch if you're listening to a CICO autist https://youtu.be/IbtxJZPviUo
You can. Quite easily. Only fatasfatass ss morons think otherwise
Meal timings
>meal timings
