Just need a confirmation here. I understand from the posts that squats and deadlifts are necessary if we are to push our body to it's full potential but so far, for the past 2 months of gym work outs, i've only used machines and nothing of deadlifts.

Is that bad?

Funny as it seems but i just did a body assessment and apparently, i lost 0.5kg fat mass from the trunk area but i've gained 0.2kg fat mass on each of my legs -.-

Gained 1.2kg muscle mass on the trunk area and lost 0.6kg muscle mass from each leg.

The rest of my body remained unchanged.

Now, the muscle mass lost number is worrying and i think this is probably due to me not stuffing enough calories before i hit the gym or is there any other explanation?

In respect of the fat mass gained on each of the legs -.- i really do not know what the hell happened, my diet has been the same since the last time i did the assessment and my workout routine has been maintained (with several occasions of increasing the weights)

The only thing that i did extra was a 2.5KM threadmill at 8.5 speed and i've increased my protein intake (eggs, beancurd and whey shakes)

The trainer attended to me told me i've not stressed my muscles enough but does that equals to fat mass gain ?

the info was obtained through the report from the body assessment machine in the gym, it's a "4-point" where you stood on top of 2 steel plates barefooted and held on to 2 grips. not sure how accurate it was but i used it as one of the guide as to how it affects my pattern of workout.
