A bit, yes. Enough to not do it, no. This is my go to article for this, and is the main reason I’m finally leaning out:
Mike Israetel would be a go to guy for this, his articles are great. Paul Carter too.
Depends entirely on what you want to do, I think. Personally, I think anyone who is sitting above 15% bodyfat has no business even thinking about adding anything - that’s why I’m working to get to that point and take a year or so to let my body establish its set point at that bodyfat level. Then I’ll work on getting bigger.
I say this because I tried to just add muscle in the mid 20% range and while I added muscle I added fluff aplenty too. I’m now about 20 lbs down from when I started eating less/better and I’m more muscular than I’ve ever been - and that’s happened in a caloric deficit of 500 calories a day for seven months now. I started at 25.1% and a month ago I was at 20.3%. I think I’ve got around five or six months left until I start working on establishing a set point as that should be when I hit 15%.
You probably don’t. Diet (calories and composition in that order) are FAR more important.
They compress far less, like PVC pipe. So much more painful, but also much more effective. Get a golf ball (nothing better if there’s a knot under your shoulderblade) and you’re set.
Wouldn’t be here if I did.
