After getting into weight training, something is confusing me. They say that you cannot gain muscles by weight training if you are in a caloric deficit. But if someone is actively working on their muscles through weight training, why is this?
Would this rule carry over to someone who had a high % of body fat or does this only apply to people with low body fat %? If someone had a high body fat %, will they still not gain any muscles if they are weight training but in a calorie deficit?
I genuinely don’t understand! TIA!

You can if you have excess bodyfat. The only people who NEED to bulk to gain muscle mass are extremely lean people
