Wrong... steroid induced muscle is easily lost. My lifts have not gone down with the exception of power lifts. Deadlift dropped big time but other then that i curl and dumbell press about the same. Squat has also gone way down. Some muscles are getting even stronger. Regardless ever since i lost all that fat i feel like im growing and getting leaner at the same time. When you are holding dumbells in your hands and your skin looks transparent like chicken breast with a huge vein running down the middle of it it makes up for the loss of strength. I will be back to lifting my old weight soon.
Yep.
When Fat is present, Muscle will NOT be burned as long as gravity is strong enough. Muscle is NOT a viable source of energy so easily available and is NOT efficient for fuel as long as gravity is present. Evolution in all animals has proven this fact.
The lifts simply went down not because loss of strength or muscle, but because as the body`s center mass and overall mass is reduced by the elimination of fat, the center of gravity is TOTALLY changed. A 27 inch waist simply cannot displace the same load as 38 inch waist can. Also, with more mass, one becomes a better mechanical lever so to speak.
