hey /fit/

i have weighed myself after my nightly workout for the past four nights.

i have put on a pound per night consistently over the past four nights, going from 140 to 144, with a consistent 12% body fat reading.

weighing was done on the same scale at roughly the same time after the workout.

what?

ever stop and think maybe you're gaining muscle instead of losing fat?

Yeah, but a pound a night? That's what is weird to me.

No, it's not consistent. It's also food, shit, piss, etc. Try weighing yourself first thing after waking up, post-dump.

OP here

I weighed myself this morning. 142. 3lb gain in 4 days.

Also, another question. Since I work out daily, I push myself to the point where I can no longer complete the exercise with good form. However, when the next day rolls around I am not sore, and am ready for more the next night. Am I just lucky to recover quickly, or am I somehow not pushing myself hard enough?

You don't get sore after you've been working out for a while, only if you haven't worked out for a long time or do new exercises your muscles aren't used to.

pretty much true.

also remember that lack of soreness doesn't mean lack of progress.

if you did more reps, less rest, more weight whatever than last week, then your muscle will grow and get stronger

That's the thing though, I hadn't done weights in a long time, jump straight in and yet still no soreness.

If I am not sore, should I continue to workout nightly, or should I try to work in a day of rest sometime?

to see the best gains in mussel size and strength you need to split your exercises up and you need to rest every other day
so its work rest work rest work rest work rest or something similar
you need to work different mussels every day back one day arms the next then legs then core
only measure your self 1 time a week since a lot of that weight is just water
