I don't know. I love the muscle look, but I don't enjoy having to lower my bodyfat enough to make muscles look good. Otherwise, like Leigh said, you just look fatter and firmer. I'm looking fatter and firmer now, and I have to say don't like it much. I looked better before I started lifting, really. Of course, once/if the weight comes off, I'll have done a succesful bodycomp, but I'm not sure it was worth all the effort (to me).
I think I would much prefer to have a modest amount of muscle with a easy to keep amount of bodyfat%, than a lot of muscle and having to work on keeping my bodyfat% low forever.
