    How can you tell how much muscle you are gaining for a bulking diet

    I am a 16 year old @ 132 pounds and 5ft 6 on a bulking diet. So how can you tell how much muscle I am gaining? Can it be measured by strength because I've gotten stronger each week and nearly move to a heavier set of weights every 2-3 weeks?

    To measure your muscle gains you will need to know your weight and bodyfat %.

    You can still determine lean mass through bodyfat and weight measurements.
