You got it!
Possible, yes. Likely, no.
This is the holy grail that has been perpetuated int he muscle magazines and ads for years.
This can happen basically in these circumstances (generally speaking):
Someone is entirely untrained and starting going for it.
Someone is very overweight (overfat) / obese and starts getting after it.
The stress of a novel training regimen is ridiculous, i.e., Ranger Training.
Someone is using enough pharmaceuticals to make this happen (when not doing so previously).
The more advanced you are, the less likely this is to happen. If you've not really trained all that hard or consistently and are far from reaching outstanding levels of strength and muscle size (relative to what's possible for you), then this can happen of course.
[Note I'm considering this in the course of a *simultaneously* losing fat and gaining muscle. Over the long haul, gaining a massive amount of muscle and then holding it when dropping fat, and repeating, will probably yield the best results, IMO. It certainly has been tested much more in the trenches - hundreds of thousands of bodybuilders - over the course of decades of training.]

Very cool, thank you for the details answer!
