weight gain, after week off......

bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/10/31, 12:09 AM I have gained abotu 3 4 lbs from my week of from lifting, i'm starting back tomorrow with a new fire lit. Now my measurements are the same, or pretty much, no big gains anywhere. Is it safe to say, and since my body fat is still abotu the same acording to my scale(21-23%) that this is good lean weight? -------------- ....I'm probably in my underwear typing this......or maybe not!

	2004/11/02, 11:35 AM Maybe its just a normal old scale. Most scales are crappy. I've never seen a home scale that you can't step off of and right back on and not get a different weight, especially the digital ones. -------------- I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol Charlie
