Girl Gym on Sidechat | How long does it typically take for muscle growth to really show? I’m 5’4 33% body fat (almost all of which is in my legs/butt lol) and I’ve been doing push/pull/abs+legs while in a calorie deficit.

you’re stunting potential muscle growth because you’re in a deficit

It’ll be a while if you’re really at 33%. But when it does start showing you’ll be jacked.

Yeah online calculators really suck if you carry your weight disproportionately. Your muscles will grow, and also look up the paper towel effect. It’s very real.

yes it’s called “body recomposition” where you’re doing both by being in modest surplus but this requires lifting heavy enough and special attention to nutrition. do some research on it
