Gaining muscle

In june I started working out anywhere from 40 t0 60 hours each week. I am in fantastic shape and can't believe the difference in my muscle tone. Although I have not changed the way I eat, I have put on about 5 pounds in this time. Could this possibly be weight gain from muscle? I have actually lost inches, but gained weight. Thanks!!! Dawn

Holy crow.. how do you work out for 40-60 hrs a week and be still alive.. lol! Was that a typo?

Wow 40 - 60 hours a week? Thats almost 6 to 9 hours a day 7 days a week? You must work in the gym ? Great job and Im sure it is muscle weight gain! Kenny

I work a factory job that requires me to repetitively lift 40 to fifty pounds for 7 hours each day. In addition to that I use thier gym for 4 hours every day. I usually work 6 or 7 days a week. If I total all that time up for six days, my total comes to 66 hours each week. All that heavy liftion is one heck of a work out and I count it in with my exercise. For a woman that weigh 108, I have some really big arms. I went from 9&1/2 inch biceps to 11&1/2 in just 6 months. My calves are only 11 inches.

Well there you have it. You answered your own questions. The inches tell the story.

OMG, if you weight 108 now you are one strong little lady Great job and yes, this is muscle weight. What a great way to get a workout lifting weights and not having to go to the gym Keep up the great work! Take care, Kathy
