You're saying can lose strength by switching to an endurance routine without necessarily losing muscle, and in fact the muscles would be expected to grow IF I was eating at maintenence or above, which I'm not..

No, I'm saying if you go to hypertrophy and keep the weights high enough you will not lose muscle, even at a deficit (and a 500 cal deficit will not cause a loss of muscle). Cosgrove posted a study where people eating 800 cals
per day (not an 800 calorie deficit) did not lose LBM. Lyle McDonald's
Rapid Fat Loss is set up to not lose muscle and the cals are between 800-1,000
per day.
Maybe I just poll smarter people.
