Since, I started back to weights again, I have gained 13 pounds. I started at a solid 199 and I now weigh 212. My waist line has remained the same. My pants feel fine maybe a little snug, but nothing that makes me uncomfortable. What does this mean? I am new at this body buidling stuff even though I have been lifting off and on again since 91.

dude, the question was posed. What am I missing. Is it fat or muscle growth? I want to say its muscle growth, but that is why I look for your guys to tell me the answer. You guys are most knowledgeable.
IS THE GROWTH MUSCLE OR FAT? I THINK ITS MUSCLE BECAUSE MY WAIST LINE IS NOT GETTING ANY BIGGER.

lol... but seriously it's most likely muscle. If you haven't seen definition dissapear, your waist line hasn't gone up, and biggest indicator that it's muscle is you look more muscular..lol... then yeh its muscle...

Wait, so if you noticed all of these things, why did you even need to bother asking if it was muscle or fat?Originally Posted by ALXFAMLAW

12-13-2006, 08:55 PM #11because I still have some fat on me and I just wanted to make sure it was muscle and not fat. You must understand that I used to weigh 244 at 5'4. I weighed 199 two months ago. It took me 1.5 years to lose the weight, so any weight again and I start to freak out.Originally Posted by knowles.ja

you could do regular body comp tests to determine what kind of changes are actually occurring....

here's the obvious question we all forgot to ask...how long did it take you to put on the 13lbs?
13lbs in two months is probably muscle and water with minimal fat. that's pretty impressive...keep up the good work!!!Last edited by shaolin; 12-14-2006 at 07:55 AM. Reason: seen other post with answer
