Hey bro, thats the exact reason why I try to stay away from the scale on cycle. Let the mirror and the workouts be your measurement for improvement. The scale is a big mind fuck if ya ask me. If you are inconsistent with the time of day, what your wearing, or you just took a shit, whereas yesterday you hadn't yet.........see what I'm saying. Mind fuck. The mirror doesn't lie (usually, LOL!)

me to Im thinking about not going back on the scale until my cycle is over.

however the mirror can lie. Back when I had eating disorders I would look in the mirror and see a fat person. then I would excersise like 5hrs everyday and not eat. I was 129lbs and when I looked in the mirror I did not see what everyone else was seeing.

Thats why I said usually. We all see things that others don't, some in more extremes than others. I take pics too and compare after about 3 months.

i get on the scale every day lol/.. my bench went from 7 reps of 135 to 7 reps of 205. i have gained 12 lbs so far after 6 weeks. but have been the same since week 5. i can do reps of 8 easily doing seated rows 170lbs. but remember i only weight 150. i am at 153 right now but thats cuz i have raised my calories from 3000 to 3600-3800 a day.

in like 2 more weeks i will have before and after pics. :) went from 138 to 152 but i think 2lbs is the food intake. and i had my friend check my bf and its at 7.8%. I sent a new pics to a chick i know and she ask if i was on steriods. which means big change for her to see me. of course you all know the answer i gave her. ;)

well the other day i had a spotter for the first time and i added another 10 lbs to my bench. while going up i stopped right in the middle of my rep but i had already told my spotter not to touch my bar at all unless i verberally told him to. it stayed in one spot for about 4 sec. or so they i remembered to breath and i seen my bar start to go up and that was all she wrote after that i knew i had that third rep. also me and my spotter were joking about one of us trying to curl 110lbs ,then my buddy gace it a shot no luck at all he barely got it off his legs, so i agreed to try it , and i be damned i curled that fucker 5 times . being able to curl 110lbs and weighing 150 was a great feeling ..
