Hello guys. As everyone, sometimes we have a hard time to make a fair self analysis, despite our knowledge about training, diet and supplements.
In the last 1 year and a half, I gained around 7lbs, while maintaining similar body fat percentage.
I started to train differently, lower reps and higher resting periods and starting to do Deadlifts again ( I didn’t for years because I had back surgery with scoliosis and had some problems doing DL).
All in all, I think the progress has been solid but I am a little concerned about where to go next.
My gym has a body fat percentage scale (quite expensive), not 100% accurate as we know. However, is the only non bias metric I have to judge my own body fat, since in the mirror I still have abs when I wake up or when I flex (4 pack).
The scale says around 14-15%, but I’m concerned if after gaining some good muscle the last year or so, if I should lean to around 9% and then try to gain some muscle again.
I might post some photos if that helps you guys to give a fairer assessment and advice.
Best regards
