Honestly you all just sounds very jealous that I will accomplish my goal. You try to say how impossible it is that it won't work. It works for me. Now find what works for you and achieve your goal. That the whole point of theses forums to get help in achieving your goal when you feel your not doing it correctly.

Nope not jealous...note ticker I am about 1lb from goal for weight, have hit numerous lifting goals about 1% from BF% goal...

We are saying you are not building muscle at a deficet...not that you wont reach your goals.

And yes the point of these forms is to help people who don't know what they are doing and/or talking about...

That's why you are being told...No you are wrong..

Strength <>muscle, you cannot build muscle on a deficet and I wont even go to the steroid thing...

What you are doing is losing weight eating at a deficet and building strength by lifting...if those are your goals great...go get it.

Have you heard of calorie cycling?

yes, and thats means you are no longer at a deficit. totally different then what we are talking about

I do calorie cycling that how am able to do this. I guess I should have said how I am going to accomplish my goal.
I do calorie cycling every week and it works for me. My cousins came into town and have not seeing me since march 16. They saw my muscle mass increase and said I though you were lost weight. They did not realize I have also lost 12 pounds. Since they last saw me.

yes calorie cycling is a good way to build some muscle mass and lose fat, but thats not to say youre doing both at the exact same time. you gain muscle while you eat at an excess and lift, you lose fat while you eat at a deficit and lift.

if your main goal, like mine, is just to lose weight though, just sticking to deficit is more effective to reach that goal. ill switch to strength training when i reach my goal bf%. until then whatever existing strength i have is good enough for me

That cool man losing weight and gain muscle after is a lot of peoples goes. I just rather get both done because as I do I can eat more calories for same results because muscle burns calories at rest way more than fat.
