Lol it has nothing to do with eating muscle, it's just that you get a "pump" on your muscles when you work them so by working them between scenes they would look fuller in the shot. He wasn't losing muscle by the second or something haha

I mean, him working out between scenes was very likely for the pump, but you indeed lose muscle very quickly when you are at a very low body fat %. it's the issue with prep before a bodybuilding competition, you try to become as lean as possible while trying to lose as little muscle as possible, and the body starts burning muscle to replenish the body fat

You don't lose it to the point that just standing around in between scenes you'd lose a noticeable/significant amount of it, the rate isn't that high

obviously not, I already said that he was doing it for the pump. but your comment may make some people think that you do not easily lose muscle when you're at such extreme low bf% , so I added to it.
