What is a reasonable p ratio for an intermediate trainee and the best way to track the ratio of muscle to fat gain or loss when bulking or cutting?
There’s no set p-ratio for a given training age, as the amount of muscle:fat gained/lost is heavily dependent on genetics, environment, training, nutrition, etc.
Best way to track this would be DEXA and a scale, if available. If not, waist, arm, and thigh circumference along with scale weight would work.
Thanks. What sort of arm/waist/leg/weight measures would we be looking to see? Is there no general amount of muscle gain per lb of fat gain that one could see as indicative that they’re doing things more or less “right”?
