Do it!! Do NOT sacrifice muscle and fitness gains to over focus on a weight number. If you like having some metrics to focus on switch over to leg, hip, waist, arm circumference⊠Consider this your light muscle baseline and donât worry if you add muscle weight as long as youâre building muscle and dropping fat.
You only going to gain fat from caloriesâŠwhen you start weight training you may gain âweightâ by putting on muscle. But your body is also going to want more food from the stress of weight training. Staying in a calorie deficit while weight training can be kind of hard to do and take longer to build muscle but can be done.
Donât lift weight thatâs super heavy. Find a weight that can easily be done 15-20x in a row (reps) repeated 3-5x (sets).
Doing high reps with lower amounts of weight, through several sets will make you stronger without getting âbiggerâ, and produce endurance.
