Yes, because as the size of your muscle increases, the mass of your muscle increases. And when the mass of your muscle increases, so does the weight.

Can you gain back 10 pounds in muscle if your trying to lose weight?

yes, just remember that if you lose fat, but gain muscle, you can actually gain weight because muscle weighs more than fat. But people that have more muscle also have faster metabolisms, which allows you to burn off more calories, therefore decreasing the amount of fat that the body stores, allowing you to shed those unwanted pounds of fat.

How do you gain weight by weightlifting?

Well if you lift weights you gain muscle right, well muscle has weight so if you gain a pound of muscle your not getting heavier your just building muscle. Bodybuilders on average weigh 200 to 280 pounds but they don't carry that extra weight in fat but they carry it in muscle. But since fat burns 60 calories a day muscle burns close to 110 calories a day so ultimately that muscle will burn all that fat you want to burn.But if you weigh 500 pounds your not extremely muscular you just fat.

Impossible for permanent growth, it is however possible to gain 20 to 30 pounds of muscle in a month.
