Is it possible to build muscle on a caloric deficit if I

Yes, beginner lifters will increase their lean body mass while cutting on as much as a 40% deficit, as long as protein is kept high and they strength train.

It depends if you hit PR's in the gym or night.

Seems like 90% of retards on here think their gains are made in the kitchen when in-fact your diet is fucking meaningless if your performance in the gym hasn't improved.

If you eat in a calorie deficit, hit protein requirements, and gain 50 pounds on your deadlift, yes, you'll gain muscle.

Same way if you ate in a calorie surplus, but your lifts never went up, you'll not gain any muscle, despite being in a surplus.

If you're a beginner or you're still just doing bodyweight like me, yes.
I do diamond push ups every day and pull ups whenever I can, almost every day, and most days I'm eating under 1500 but I eat mostly meat and veggies, nothing sweet or artificial, and I'm making noticeable chest, back and arms gains. But that's because I'm a beginner, obviously.
