Raynor,
As of begining my cut, my lifts became slightly weaker. Everything dropped by 5-10 pounds which is expected; however, my arms shrunk by an entire two inches in a period of two weeks? My weight has dropped from 175 to 165, but I don't look much leaner. Am I losing muscle rather than fat?
Thanks.
Not likely are you losing massive amounts of muscle...2 inches worth of arms seems like mostly fat and water to be honest.
If your strength is only "slightly" weaker, it can NOT be muscle. Two inches worth of muscle from the arms would be a catastrophic loss of strength.
You will begin looking MUCH leaner at the 150-155 lbs mark....the first 10 lbs are usually hard to see.
If you would like, please post me the exact diet/exercise routine you are following.
