overfeeding w/o weight training leads to increased BMR and muscle mass? mind=blown

[CeBKa]

I don't know if repost but

part 6/7 of a documentary where a few slim subjects were fed twice their maintenance calories during 4 weeks.

Discuss.

Yeah its a repost but a very good doc. Only the one guy apparently added muscle mass, probably got great p-ratio and high NEAT. Although I don't know about the accuracy of the way they test bodyfat/muscle mass because some of the BF% they attribute to the subjects in beginning of the experiment are wrong.

Didn't watch, but why is this surprising? I think it is pretty well-established that weighing more(more LBM) increases BMR.

He has gained more muscle than fat without lifting weights that's what i wanted to say, how is that possible ?

True but he didn't lift at all, ate 5000 cals a day, was forced to be sedentary and gained very little fat compared to the other subjects.

Look at my first reply. P-ratio and neat aka he's the genetically lean type aka lucky mofo.

Hmm true, one thing i've noticed is that he looks way more muscular compared to other participants.
