i can't really find it. but i guess ill ask the question a different way haha
is there a way to know if you get gains? cause i just dont know if i'm growing, shrinking or if i'm stalled. i can't really tell.

To measure your LBM (Lean Body Mass) you need to know your bodyfat % and your weight. (Example of the process;
Bodyfat = 13%
Body weight = 150lbs
150 x 0.13 = 19.5lbs of bodyfat.
150 - 19.5 = 130.5lbs LBM.)
To measure bodyfat you need skinfold calipers and scales.
To measure your weight you need scales.
To measure the girth of your arms, chest, etc. you need measuring tape.
