Gain upper body muscle mass, but not gain weight?
Hi everyone, the reason for the "?" mark at the end of the title is I have a twofold question 1) can I gain muscle mass without gaining weight? 2) I want to cut my weight (by about one stone (14lb)) and work on my upper body gains - how can I do that? I have got my lower body (well, Glutes down the way) sorted, so much so…

Weight fluctuations
When bulking how far into your weight trend do you look before making adjustments to the food you are consuming? I haven't gained any weight in over a week. Should I eat more now or wait and see another week or two? My weight fluctuates up or down less than a pound throughout the week, so I'm looking at the trend for a…

DISCOURAGED
You guys explained to me that fluctuation is normal, to always weigh at the same time of day, and look at long term results more than short. If I’m fluctuating all the way down to 104 one week and I’m gaining say, a lb a week, shouldn’t it be fluctuating less and less each week? Like say 105 this week , only down to 106…

Cutting, no weight loss in 3 weeks. Stick with it or adjust?
I started logging and eating at a deficit about 3 weeks ago. My plan was to lose 15-20 pounds from 205 to about 185-190. I also had not been lifting for about a month because of a crazy work schedule, so I started lifting again right as I started the deficit. In the 3 weeks I've been at it, I've done OK but not great with…

Inadvertently bulking
So, I've been in maintenance for about a year and a half. I've been on the fence about running bulk/cut cycles or just doing a long term recomp for a while. I was driving myself crazy so I quit logging my food about 2.5 months ago to give myself a break. I've still been lifting. Well over these last 2.5 months I've gained…
