Thread: At a stand still

don't look at the scale to much, just look in the mirror, check waist size, cause some time you are losing fat and gaining muscles so your weight will stay the same. or you gear is bunk.

Makes sense, ill stay away from the scale...im definately getting bigger, my wife has noticed it. As far as it being bunk, im sure thats not the case. I was getting the headaches, and light headed feeling for the first week, its gone away now, still get a headache here and there, but my BP has evened back out. Strength has increased a good bit already. Thanks for the feedback.

Three days is not an accurate measure of any loss or gains.... Plus if you are like most BB's then your wheight will fluctuate up to 10 or 15 lbs during the day.. hell a gallon of H2O is about 8 lbs and I drink that in one hour at the gym. So during my workout I "gain" 8 lbs (not really).

Damn, thats why i love this forum...I never think of shit like that. Thanks for the feedback, puts my mind at ease.

Yourwelcome. Glad I could aid in calming your anxiety about wt. gain.

What calories are you eating, how long have you been at this level, and how much have you gained?

^^True... scales ED is next to worthless. Once maybe 2x a week to monitor gains. And make sure to weigh in at the same time of the day. Many ppl like 1st thing in the morning after peeing, and before eating or drinking.

Yea, i actually do it right after i use the restroom.

cool, if you weigh after pissing in the morn already thats perfect. Some ppl just weigh in at inconsistant times of the day.

Are you doing a dbol only cycle? Are you running Test along with the dbol?

I also weigh in the nude, to make sure its all MY weight and no clothes or anything like that.

My weight doesn't change when i am losing fat and gaining muscle. I use the mirror and the body fat clippers to track my results.

I stopped scaling out all the time kinda messes with ur mind. I have found every 2 weeks is better for me. But 3 days sounds like water weight....

I weigh every 2 weeks on Monday after my morning urination. I take measurements right after I weigh also....I found doing them every 3 days or weekly will drive you nuts. Just use the mirror and your clothes as a guide during the 2 weeks between your measurements.

Right on guys/gal, i appreciate all the feedback, definately gives me some peace of mind.

What do you weigh now, and how long did it take you to gain those 12 pounds at 5100 cals a day?

Right, right. I can mess with your head. And wt. really not the best indicator for most things. IMO Scales are best reserved when you are getting close to peaking for a BB show or some other wt. restricted event.

You put on 12 pounds in 10 days, and you are complaining?

In what post did it seem like i was complaining....I am asking if its normal to stay at a weight for a few days. Didnt know if i needed to increase my cals/pr/carbs more, or if its jsut the way it is. I am very happy and definately would not be complaining about 12 lbs in 10 days.

me no likey da scalez
