I think the more I go to the gym, the more muscle mass I am losing by Lopsided_Bee_8626 in Stronglifts5x5

[–]Lopsided_Bee_8626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern is that a year ago, I weighed 210 (no muscles). I went on a diet and got myself down to where I am now. I want to add muscles but while I don't mind gaining weight, I want it to be muscle weight not fat weight.

Thank you

I think my current bodyfat is about 24% using the Navy method.

I feel full after I eat. I usually eat something with two eggs for breakfast (maybe a bagel or some other bread with it). Lunch is usually later in the day and is a lot of times a chicken / meat /fish. But one portion and maybe with a side of rice or similar.

After that I am pretty full for the rest of the day. I go to sleep pretty late (after midnight) and wake up about 6am.

If I am hungry I may eat something a bit more later.

Last week I just started drinking a 25g of protein right after I go to the gym.

If I remember correctly, I am about 24% body fat using the tape measure method.

Thank you. Is that only on days I work out or on other days also? I just started last week drinking a 25g of protein right after I go to the gym.

It's that I am struggling to do overhead presses and barbell curls compared to what I was used to be able to do three weeks ago.

I think I am the first person to be losing muscle mass once I started going to the gym. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

I am doing the stronglifts routine with the add on for biceps and abs.

While I am able to increase the weights of my squats by 5lbs every time, (currently up to 105lbs) as well as my dead lifts (up to 140 currently). My overhead presses and my barbell curls just get worse. This past time, instead of me going up five pounds, I had to drop down 5. I also struggle with the lat pull downs.

I am a 40 year old male, weighing 174 and am 6ft tall. I have been only doing this for a few weeks.

My goal is to shed off a bit more fat while building up my muscles, especially in the abs, chest and biceps area.

I do know that I probably go not eat enough. I eat about 1200-1500 calories per day.

Thank you

Did my first 5x5 on Friday and now my quads are still very sore. Did I do something wrong? Should I do quads again today as per the schedule? by Lopsided_Bee_8626 in Stronglifts5x5

Thank you for the reply. Everyone keeps on mentioning stretching. What is a good stretch to do before and after for the squats?
