Gymcels, have any of you GAINED muscle while on a defecit?

[looks>books]

If yes, how do yk its not placebo? (Just lost fat, so muscles pop more but didn’t necessarily “gain)

What was your split?

Sets/reps/rest?

What what was your calories and protein?

At first, yes. I havent tried doing it in awhile after 4 years worth of lifting, so I cant say. But when I started out, and was a nooby, absolutely. Id still say tho, even as a nooby, to lift in bulking phases. It optimizes muscle gains and a good way to look at it is whats 9 more months of being a bit chubby gonna mean in the long run? If you have a bit more fat than you like rn, bulking another 9-10 months (not dirty bulk but clean bulk) isnt gonna matter and you will put on lots of muscle (possibly 20lbs of lean muscle as a nooby) so when you do cut down, you will have a body worth cutting to. Then, you can lean bulk from there. Youre basically sacrificing 10 or so months to being a bit chubby (plus the time it takes to cut and get lean) but in the end, you will be more ripped than ever after the cut is finished.

I have but I think it’s due to muscle memory. I used to be big but then I stopped working out for 2 years
