the old timers built muscle like many of us do now (with or without AAS/Supplements) but my comment was not about building muscle it was about building muscle whilst losing fat on a low carb diet of 20>g carbs per day....
i have said it before in this thread and i will say it again for those who just like to argue if it was possible to INCREASE muscle size whilst LOSING fat then every Competing Bodybuilder on the planet would gain the most muscle when dieting for a show and then there would be no reason for an "OFFSEASON".....
when you lose weight (Fat or Water) you will look more muscular that is a fact i have pics of me 1 week from my last show that shows me looking more muscular than before i dieted but i was 28lbs lighter.......i was not more muscular i was more defined there is a massive diffrence......
Pete the only way to tell if you have gained muscle but lost fat is by BF% for example if at the begining of the diet you weighed 200lbs at 10%BF and at the end you weighed 200lbs @ 5%bf that is when you can honestly say you have gained muscle and lost BF .........now if anybody can show me proof that they dieted using the Atkins or a low carb diet and stayed at the same weight throughout and lowered their BF% i would love to see it...... |
