More/stronger muscles= the need for more fuel to power the muscles= weight loss which may mean the need for even more food?

so am I losing fat or muscles?

if your measurements are reducing and you are getting stronger then you are loosing fat - you can loose fat internally and not show it on the outside. If you workout too much you can loose muscle . . . doubling big muscles will show a bigger change than doubling small muscles. That's why it is important to rest a lot to rebuild muscle - otherwise you are over training. Eat meat and vegetable protiens - string beans are good. Keep hydrated really well too or you can get some serious kidney problems.

My muscles get plenty of rest. I always drink water when I work out. In fact I only drink water outside the gym and inside. I haven't touched a soda in years. I basically drink anything clear. water, vodka, and etc.

I gained 5 pounds in 2 days. Weird body. I'm now 131.xx

Leg machines are getting easier and I keep adding weights.

I'm 44, 5'8 140lb. back when i was 18, 125lb, i could leg press 500lb 5 or 6 times. Now i'm to worn out to work out:( I could clean&jerk 225lb:) Arm curl 135, back againt the wall.

legs can hold 15lbs of muscle each and you wouldnt be able to see the difference(but you can feel and untilize it). well if your around 6ft atleast
