Bro, you may think that you've lost a lot of muscle mass but have your lifts got weaker? That's a good indication.
I think beginner like us may look bigger when we're fatter, so we thought we have a lot of muscle mass but in fact most of them are just fat. So when you shed that fat layer off, you're gonna start feeling small and paranoid that you've lost a lot of muscle mass.
Muscle loss won't gonna happen rapidly unless you have too high of a deficit in your diet. Or you're doing something extreme...
and how did you measure your muscle gain/loss?

QUOTE(low yat 82 @ Jun 1 2014, 11:56 PM) lift never got weaker. i able to maintain / increase it. m not sure muscle mass 1-2kg is alot or not, but i do record muscle mass value weekly from january till now (51.Xkg to 52.Xkg (due to creatine) to current 49.Xkg). from d trend, it does reduce muscle mass. from mirror, i feel all ok. btw, i use tanita body composition to measure muscle gains n losses when now m thinner , my fren ask me to eat more, they said i looks ill...  but i never felt so great b4!! edited: typo Your friend just want you to be fat  But I think that's not an accurate way of measuring things. And the amount of water in your body could affect the calculation. |

QUOTE(low yat 82 @ Jun 2 2014, 08:45 AM) haha! not sure. mayb i 'look' healthier if more fat  yup, certainly not accurate n highly affected by water comsumption/ hydration / digestion level inside body but since i already bought it, so i jus use it lo...huhu. try to minise its error by measuring it at same timing n average it to monthly. Try doing it early in the morning the moment you wake up after taking a piss and before you drink your water. This is how I measure my weight daily.

Bro I think you're starting the DL with pulling in your mind. A good queue that I've learned is to start the lift by coiling up my body, compressing my entire body and bracing my core VERY hard. I then start pushing my heels downwards as if I'm trying to push the earth down. This will force my hips to open up and the bar should be going up already. This will allow me to not rely on my lower back when I start the lift which kept my back neutral/straight. I also notice that you like to look up as you start the lift. I've also learned that I should look forward to keep my spine neutral. Looking up could create tension on the neck. Looks like your squat is going STRONG  I find deadlift easy but been struggling with squat terribly  |
