HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER YOUR GAINING FAT OR MUSCLE

Any one who is trying to bulk up might fear about this , Am I gaining a lot of Fat. If yes how do I figure it out .How to gain more muscle than fat?There are various ways from which you can find out what is that you are gaining , fat or muscle. 1.Check your waist circumference more often The more  fat you gain the larger your waist goes.Generally in men most of the fat in their body is concentrated in this region.So it is better to keep an eye on it. 2.Keep a track on the rep range Consider this example, You weigh around 150 lbs right now and say you can bench press with  80 lbs and can do 15 reps.You eat big and gain some weight and say now you weigh 155 lbs.Now if you can perform more than 15 reps say 17 reps or 18 with the same weight, then you are stronger than before and gained some muscle mass of course. 3.Are you looking bigger though you have just added on a few pounds?   Fat occupies more room than muscle.
