After 4 months of dedicated riding, I've gained 10 lbs.
I'm 5'7 and now 170.
I stepped on the scale for the first time yesterday in 4 months. Since I started mtn biking heavily, I've slimmed in my stomach area, however my legs have noticeably bulked, and my upper body seems more sculpted as well. So I guess I’m pretty happy with my results so far. The only strange thing is, I was expecting to see a loss in the weight column.. I definitely don't look or feel fatter than I was before, and I’m definitely in better shape than I was 4 months ago.. Is it possible that I gained 10 pounds of muscle in that time? Has anyone experienced anything similar to this?
