    Interesting - I didn't know that. So, when I see my abs starting to take shape, aren't they growing just like my quads and my triceps and other muscles that are obviously growing?

    If you are eating at a deficit, they aren't growing. They may look like they are increasing in size, but that's because you are diminishing the fat that's covering them. So by default they will show better, and look bigger. But gaining muscle on a deficit is like adding onto your house with no lumber or nails--it just can't happen. There's no materials there to build with.

    Thank you for this explanation. Not to be overly dramatic, but our bodies are fascinating -
