Having problems with message search?
Luke,
Does the scale also ask for your age? I'm highly suspicious of those mainly because if you're older it will tack on extra fat.
As far as your dilemma, I still think that if you lose 10 kg of fat then you'll look and feel much better than if you gained 10 kg of muscle. As you've said, if there's a layer of fat covering it, you won't see the muscle anyhow.
Are you still mixing 300 mL of cream with your shakes? I still think that's too much.
Regards,
Joel

JoelI am using a set of scales to check bf %. These scales you have to set it with your height and gender..after it checks your weight it gives a reading of bf...It is frustrating that to lose fat, i have to lose strength aswell. So if i want to gain strength, i have to eat more fat and along with the strength gain comes a higher bf % so i cant win.Luke

I'd say that's bordering on too fast, but at least the fat is coming off.I don't remember if I asked before, but what method are you using to measure body fat? If 23.5% is accurate, I wouldn't be surprised that you still have a layer of fat over your gut. I wouldn't call the following table authoritative, but it should give you the basics on body fat percentages.*General Body Fat Percentage Categories
Classification Women (% fat) Men (% fat) Essential Fat 10-12% 2-4% Athletes 14-20% 6-13% Fitness 21-24% 14-17% Acceptable 25-31% 18-25% Obese 32% plus 25% plus *American Council on Exercise My guess is that the photos of Rob in NHE were probably when he was 8-10% BF. I've never looked nearly that good, but it gives us something to aspire to =)Cheers,Joel

I have lost a noticeable amount of strength like 5kg of the big excercises like squats/bench. Is this normal? I think i may have cut down the fat too much. It seems no matter how much weight i lose, i always have a thin layer of fat over my gut, and losing fat aswell as strength prob means im losing muscle aswell??....cant winI was also wondering about the time between pre and post workout meals but it looks like we are all doing the same thing there anyway.....luke
