BULGING
SOLID

Basically any calorie deficit will cause loss of muscle.

Don't go over 500 cal deficit andeat your proteins and you shouldn't lose any muscle mass

It is impossible to not lose muscle on a caloric deficit, no matter how much fat one has

Wrong

Bulk up / get strong, then worry about your abs

You will lose muscle, this is inevetable. A high quality diet with plenty of protein helps minimize the losses.

That being said, if you go under your resting metabolic rate, your body will start eating itself in ways that will actually hurt you if you keep lifting.

ITT: People with poor understanding of muscle mass

Your body constantly builds and destroys muscle mass. You will never not lose muscle while eating at any surplus or deficit.

Eating more protein simply lets you build more muscle and repair damaged tissue faster

So the answer is infinite both positive and negative. Adding steroids for example will mean you can gain muscle on a deficit.

I wish my body would have told me this. Went from 24% to 15% over the last few months and my arms have stayed the same size. Also, my lifts have stayed the same size and I've been increasing my lifts by nearly 2.5lbs/week too. Almost at lmao3/4/5. Already hit 5. Am I unknowingly injecting my ass in my sleep? Maybe it's my imaginary gym bf doing it.

That growth hormone gut looks fucking horrible.

Reminder that most of /fit/ promote permabulking and then they wonder why they can't look like Chad while they're at 25% bf
