SASA "SHADOW'S PROJECT"

I agree with BM....take pics..also measurements are really important for when the scale is not going down but the inches are.....you can still see and measure your progress!

Couldn't agree more.

THROW AWAY THE SCALE...

Do take pics and whip out that tape measure.

True story to put it into perspective for some.

My best gf in the whole wide universe was also one of my earliest clients back in the day. She was carrying a lot of bf and was very *iffy* on the whole personal trainer thing as she had one before that sucked major bigtime not to mention that her sister had also shelled out lotta green for a trainer that was worth crap. So 4 weeks after she starts with me she gets on the scale.

She lost ONE POUND.

:worried: <----- me

*gulp*

"Are you doing everything that I told you to do? You aren't just 'YES'-ing me to get me off your back, are you?"

My gf - "Yes, I am doing EXACTLY what you told me to do."


:worried: <---- me thinking to myself *oh shit*

Well after I busted out the tape measure she had lost (I believe it was) 38" OVERALL, 11" from her waistline where she carried most of her bf. She had classic male bf distribution (mostly in her midsection).

:jump: (after I got off the ground from nearly passing out).


Muscle is much more dense than fat. This means it weighs far more and takes up a lot less space. Fat, on the other hand, is much lighter and takes up a lot more space. Just think about a rock that weighs 10 pounds and 10 pounds of feathers...

After training with me for about 6 months she went from a size 24 to I believe it was a size 14 or so that she hadn't seen since before she had her son like 17 years earlier. I would have to try and access old files but my numbers is they are off a bit, the difference is negligible.

Bottom line is - pics and measurements are worth far more than the number on the scale or even what you see in the mirror...

Crap that is soooooo me

Good news is that women like this can also put on and maintain lean mass more easily. I dont know if they have more testosterone than those of us who have classic female fat distribution (junks in our trunks) or it is just that they have less estrogen making the conentration of test in their bodies higher.

Or I am just totally talkin outta my arse....

Perhaps a more knowledgeable board member could chime in here?!
 
No this makes sense....I can build muscle like nothing......but all my bf goes to my middle....Okay done hijacking the tread...sorry Sassa

Not enough complex carbs in your first few meals. You are limiting your growth potential. First 3 meals should contain AT LEAST one serving of a slow burning complex carbohydrate. Other than that - everything is in order.
