Well, that's sorta true, but sorta not true. While muscle cells themselves aren't lost (unless you go like a month without food or some extreme shit), your muscles can still lose mass if you don't train regularly. However training up muscle cells that are already there is a lot easier than forming new muscle cells, which is why it's a lot easier to get *back* to shape than it is to *get* to shape.

 

Same is true for fat cells btw, fat cells don't dissapear even though you lose fat, they just get smaller (That's a very non-scientific explanation, but it works).

AKA atrophy. I kinda figured he was lamenting his loss in size, which to be honest I don't think there was a significant loss in size over the period of a week. That's why I recommended doing push ups during the day to get the muscle pump going in order to look bigger haha.

Could be muscular dysmorphia as well but I kinda figure everybody has that.

 

Oh shit yeah meant surplus! Should have reread my comment
