Is It Normal To Gain This Much Weight When Body Building?
Written by admin on January 22, 2010I used to body build about a year ago, i stopped training and have now started again. Ive trained for about 3 weeks now, and look as if i have lost weight and appear a little slimmer, but according to the scales i have gained about 7 or 8 pounds.
Is this normal?
I know muscle weights more than fat but this seems a bit extreme, just wondering if anyone could shine a light on the situation.
Actually, your weight-gain is sub par. I can gain a pound a day for 30 days and can vary my body weight by 7 lbs. a day , in either direction.
