It's common knowledge that you need more than your maintanince calories to gain muscle.
I started a job unloading trucks, and I guarantee that during this time I ate well below maintinance, I lost a good amount of fat BUT my forearms got noticably bigger and more vascular.
Can someone explain?

1] Because newbies get bigger just by looking at their bis

2] Because less fat = more definition = looks like you're bigger

1. Who said I was a "newbie?" I am not. (I have lifted for a couple years prior to this, and my forearms never got this big)
2. I agree, but like I said, they did get bigger

ur funny tho...

Maybe you lost a lot of mass in the lower body due to your low caloric intake, got bigger arms still the overall result is a lower weight
