Can't gain muscle on deficit..
So I understand the logic behind this, I understand that you have to be in an anabolic state to build muscle, but what exactly are strength gains on a deficit than?

If I see one more Pizza Hut super bowl commercial...
I'm going to order this stuffed crust pizza they keep advertising that sounds absolutely delicious. I basically quit drinking last year except during holidays so I told myself I wasn't going to drink today, and I'm doing alright on that front, but these Pizza Hut commercials are killing me.
