so apparently some guy at the GNC told my boyfriend that you absolutely cannot lose muscle..that you can only have deflated muscle and lose mass to the muscle
i think that is bullshit but what do you think?

I used to work at the Vitamin Shoppe...we were always encouraged to say whatever we wanted as long as we sold as much as possible. I always told people the truth, but that's me. Most won't and even if they could- they don't know what the hell they are talking about a lot of the time.

Well now that's tricky because everybody has at least SOME muscle mass, but yes you can lose muscle mass. Use it or lose it basically. Muscles get bigger because: 1. You sufficiently broke down old muscle fiber and rebuilt new, stronger fibers and you got enough raw tools for muscle growth in your diet (protein mainly) and 2. Because you have drawn water into the muscle belly; which is what gives it that full look.

The guy at GNC is wrong-o.
