now obviously if your goal is weight loss, this is a completely different story and using scales can be super beneficial when tracking weight loss, HOWEVER if you are consistent with weight training and your goal is to build muscle, ditch the scales. I say this because muscle weighs more than fat, and just speaking from my own experience, I weigh the heaviest I ever have right now, but I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I could so easily get disheartened knowing I’m heavier than I’ve ever been before, but I know this is just because I’ve gained a lot of muscle, and muscle is HEAVY! So this is just a reminder to be kind to yourself when it comes to the scales if you are consistently weight training, because weight is not always an accurate representation of the progress you’ve made. I think as long as you are happy with what you see in the mirror, weight shouldn’t matter 💗 #gymtips #gymgirltiktok #gymrats #musclegrowth #weightlifting
