Good Or Bad Not Sure~!

Tough Old Man · 07-15-2005, 11:22 AM

Not sure where to post this here in the training section or diet and nutrition section.

6 Weeks ago I weighed 235 lbs W/ Bodyfat at 18%. Yesterday Thurs I weighed 225 lbs W/ Bodyfat at approx 15.6%. Although I lost 10 lbs and dropped 2.5% bodyfat, this means I also loss 3 lbs of LBM. Not sure if this was good or bad. I keep my training at 5 days a week and dropped cardio from 5 days to 3 days at a brisk walk for 45 min. I've been off gear for 2 weeks and dropped my total ca's from 3100 to about 2800. Any way to hold the LBM while still dropping B/F or is this part of dropping B/F also losing LBM if not on gear. Any suggestions?

try the HIIT to lower the LBM lost. eat before your cardios (an hour or so ahead of time) and dont worry about it. you will loose some LBM, but you will look bigger because youre muscles will be more defined.

i was thinking about this today as i was doing my cardio and i was wondering...
you know how youre muscles easily get bigger once you have a base and loose what you have... so if you lost a ton of LBM during cardio, would it sound unreasonable that you could gain most of it (if not all) back without getting the fat again? just curious..

It depends on how prone to gaining fat you are, but you should be able to gain the muscle back with less fat than it first took. It is no fat memory.
