With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

Before FT and on my own in the gym for 1 year. 177 pounds and 21.5% to 22% BF 4 Months after FT. 183 pounds and 14.5% to 15% BF Now calculating the minus of body fat to lean muscle gain comes up to a 16 pounds in lean mass gain, is that correct? 177 - 21.5% = 139 lbs of LBM 183 - 15% = 155 lbs of LBM 155 - 139 = 16 lbs of LBM This weight is taken right after I get up and piss other wise it's higher with water water during the day.

By the way that 1 year was 3 sets of 15 and the past 4 months have been set of 3 {bench and squat 4, 1 for warm-up} in reps of 6 to 8 and if I hit 10 then it meant it was too lite for me. I really like the 6 to 8 rang in reps with 1 minute rests, I'm not all sweeten up with a racing heart like quick sets of 15 with 30 seconds rests but on the other hand I'm way more pumped and feeling like I'm actually doing the muscle some good. In set of 15 I had to lower weight to do next sets but in lower reps I raise the weight and most of all the results speak out for itself. I'm so excited now that I got my back in order, I can really go at it now and get some real strength gains! ============ Quoting from bb1fit: Nice job bro!

My Squats and Bench is climbing up great right now but I know it will slow down in time. ============ Quoting from gangstershoes: great work MVP....
