Weight and Reps ?

janebond Posts: 30 Joined: 2003/03/17	2003/04/24, 11:44 PM When you have reps that are 20, 16, 16, 16. Do you stay at the same weight for all the 16's or should you go up in weight. -------------- "life is what you make it 10% of how you take it"

Not sure what you mean where I'm at right know. But over that last 6 weeks I weighed 184 to start right know I weigh 191. So thats 7lbs of muscle I gained. So I wont to get my body fat down to see the muscle. I've been exercising for the last 10 months using tapes and last 6 weeks in the gym lifting weights. I hope this help you ravenbeauty. Thanks

I'm not asking because I freakin out about my weight. Anyway if I gained 7lbs of muscle, how much more muscle (weight) I might gain before I start to lose more body fat. Just curious. And thanks again. -------------- "life is what you make it 10% of how you take it"

You really should stay off the scale and go by what you see in the mirror, and measure yourself with a tape. Your bodyfat will eventually change. &lb gain in muscle is great. Don't worry, you won't start bulging out like a man. Keep up the good work. -------------- We must become the change we want to see. Ivan Montreal Canada

I only got on the scale because I keep forgetting to get a tape measure when I go out. Was just curious. Thanks have a great weekend. -------------- "life is what you make it 10% of how you take it"

Muscle stokes your metabolism,along with diet(the only 2 things)and if your metabolism is revving harder, you are naturally burning more fat! Muscle is gainef fairly rapidly up to a couple months when beginning working out. Trust me, it will slow considerably. Enjoy it while you can. Do not be afraid of this, stay off the scale, and forget that. If ou are training hard, and eating a good quality diet, it is almost impossible to gain fat. -------------- The one goal you will NEVER achieve is the one you never attempt.
