    Hows it going lads? I have put on half a stone already since joining....there is no way in hell it is fat because I am physically stronger than I was 3 weeks ago. I am just wondering where can I get a fat % test done and is it possible that I have put on half a stone of muscle already????? It seems a bit quick for that to happen no? Also, I have a question, is cardio four times a week enough? I play 5 a side on wednesdays too. I run at a pace of about 11.5 - 12.5 mphfor about 30 minutes four times a week and clock up about 6 miles on average each time. I have it set at level 10 out of 20 so the incline is always on 1.5 and works itself up to about 8.5. Am i doing enough or should I do more? I am doing it primarily to keep fit and get the abs showing. I lose about 550 - 600 calories each time i hit the treadmill and for the last minute i put it up to full speed which is 20mph.(or is it kph????)

    Has to be KPH. Unless you can run 100m in 11.26 seconds :D

    I'd say it's probably a combination of extra muscle mass and water retension from the weight training. Differences between weigh-in times could also easily explain the difference too. If you first weighed-in say in the morning before breakfast, and each time afterwards, you've weighed in later in the day, after meals and fluids, you'd easily add up to half a stone onto your weight.
