Decided to jump on the scale today. Seems in the last 7 weeks I’ve lost .4# of muscle and 0.1% of body fat. Guess I can’t complain since the gym closed down 5.5 weeks ago and a week of that I wasn’t allowed to do much. It took 6 months to gain 1.5# of muscle mass so I’m hoping I don’t keep losing it this quickly.
Last nights workout has the usual 100 skull crushers, 150 modified pushups and 50 regular pushups. Plus I added in 60 curls, 30 incline bench, 70 leg lifts, 60 flies and I can’t remember what else. I’m really missing the gym and the varied routine. Doing the same things 3x a week to get my 200 kcal burn in sucks. Better than nothing though.
I read an article recently that said as long as you are going close to failure it doesn’t matter what you do, you will maintain the muscle. It also said it takes 3 weeks to start losing muscle. Now I’m wondering if I lost that 0.4# in just under 3 weeks. If so that’s a rapid loss IMO. Perhaps it’s because I woke up a bit dehydrated today? Think I’ll weigh again in the coming weeks when I’m not dehydrated and see what it looks like.
