Weight Training

Hello!

Starting New Year's, I'll begin weight training. My current measurements are . . .

Bust: 29 in
Waist: 25 in
Hips: 35 in
Thigh: 20.5 in
Arm: 9.5 in

Will weight training cause these numbers to increase, stay the same, or decrease? I really don't want my measurements to go up, especially my thighs. :(

    If you eat at a calorie surplus, maybe.
    At a deficit, no*


    *Temporarily yes, from retained water.

    weight training is a term, not a routine. we really can't weigh in on what you results will or will not be without know what you're actually doing, how hard you are pushing yourself, how much you are eating. Oh, and you genetics play a major factor as well.

    That said, it's doubtful that you will see any meaningful increase in size, *especially* if you don't want to increase in size. Gaining muscle mass in incredibly hard and it doesn't happen by accident.

    I'm positive that you will be pleased at how great your body will look once you start getting results from an effective weight training routine.
