Why did I gain weight after I started to work out?

Good Weight Gain

Don't be alarmed if the scale creeps up a bit after you start weight training. Muscle, by volume, weighs much more than fat so that when adding muscle during your weight training routine, you are shrinking if you stay the same weight. We want to pump you up!

For advanced trainees who want to continue to grow bigger and stronger, get creatine information and decide if that supplement is for you.
