  • I've been using multiple methods (calipers on self, scale, tape measurements, and assesment at my gym with calipers); the electric scale seems to be the highest and most variable. I've started at a lifting gym (a dozen squat racks take up nearly a quarter of the lifting/cardio area) and trying out a personal trainer to…

  • I'm in the same situation, started some resistance training and like the change but want to get more defition and lose more fat. I stressed my shoulder so I'm somewhat restricted at the moment, but I'm watching my diet and doing modified workouts.
