(i.e. less tricep focus, more on delts and clavicular head???)

Im on a 500 cal deficit, and I am doing SS with a few tweaks...My focus isn't strongman/Bearmode like most of you guys, Just whatever looks okay for my short and wide frame......sort of leaving behind skinnyfat mode now!

Dunno

>Is it theoretically possible to GAIN muscle mass on a caloric deficit?
Unless you're a fatty, you need to eat more. You're going to stall quickly on SS on a deficit. And no, you can't gain mass on a deficit. You lose weight on a deficit, so how are you possibly going to gain lean mass. Gains only happen when you eat in excess.

before widening any press I'd do some research, simply because any time you widen a press you can run the risk of damaging rotator cuffs, but there probably is safe and effective way to do this, just don't trust the broscience at the gym

>Is it theoretically possible to GAIN muscle mass on a caloric deficit?
well, it IS possible to CONVERT that mass IN A SENSE
you're not going to gain weight, as a matter of fact, on a successful caloric deficit you WILL lose weight
BUT you can still develop muscle and become stronger, SL explains this, so basically you'll lose fat gain muscle but overall lose weight, and you won't develop as much muscle as you would on a bulk

that's exactly what I'm looking for, being able to lose fat and develop muscle at the same time.

yeah I just figured my shoulders are hardest to gain weight on and to develop striations in, gonna start doing some research on how to get them stronger faster w/o putting my RC in danger.

I weighed 225 @ 5'10. Started lifting and eating at a caloric deficit. I'm 172 now and have gained noticeable muscle mass (to the point of compliment).

It is indeed possible to lose fat and gain muscle.

That said, it's a lot more efficient to build mass while bulking obviously.
