    What are the best Post-work out Foods to help build muscles?

    I set out on a journey to work out. The results have been impressive so far. My handwork and resilience has paid me off.

    Measuring body fat percentage.

    Ok, first post, It's a bit random and I hope I've put it in the right spot... I'm just curious which method people are using to measure body fat percentage. I have a set of scales that supposedly measures fat and water percentages but I have never trusted it. I know of the pinch test...
