So got my numbers ran today at the gym and Im a tad confused...


Before cycle:
BF%: 14.7
Weight: 192
BMI: 26.7
Visceral: 8.3
Skeletal Muscle: 40

Mid Cycle
BF%: 16.8
Weight: 210
BMI: 30.1
Visceral: 11.4
Skeletal Muscle: 37.4

Very End
BF%: 20
Weight: 238
BMI: 34
Visceral: 14
Skeletal Muscle: 35

Now Post PCT
BF%: 21
Weight: 228
BMI: 32.8
Visceral: 14.6
Skeletal Muscle: 32

I guess what Im asking is how has my skeletal muscle dropped so much even though Im bigger muscle wise, I am lifting very close to what I was lifting on cycle, which is more than I started out at before cycle.

One of those stupid electric ones? Yeah they can be off significantly. Water interferes with the device. You're probably bloated a bit on cycle. Maybe even PCT if your E2 is high which it might be .

Bottom line bro. Use the mirror. Post a pic. I bet spongy could give you a more accurate estimation just from looking at your chubby met loving ass.

Fair enough. I just got my bloods done today so waiting to see what comes back from them so I can make sure everything is back to normal.

Yea I look at the mirror on a daily basis. I was waiting on something Mets related to come out of your Yankee mouth

Im on a diet right now, carb cycle but will be switching over to the Keto as you suggested as well

Sounds like a good plan. See it thru
